• Configure the product against program requirements and support releases, including in government cloud environments.
• Build custom workflows that drive adoption, usage, and engagement with key customers.
• Triage and resolve customer-reported issues in their environments rather than passing them along.
• Own a component or program workstream end to end, returning working systems from a requirements document rather than closed tickets.
• Spend time on-site with customers, become their technical counterpart, and bring what you learn back to the product team.
• Write, test, and review code to a standard the rest of the team can build on.
