Role Summary

As our first Technical Account Manager / Implementation Lead, you’ll play a critical role in ensuring customer success from the moment a deal is signed. You’ll lead technical onboarding and implementation efforts, serve as the customer’s primary post-sales technical point of contact, and work closely with Solutions Engineering, and Support to drive adoption, reduce time-to-value, and lay the foundation for long-term partnerships. This is a Remote/Telecommute position, allowing you to work from home while collaborating with a distributed team.

The Job location is United Sates, preferably Central or Mountain Time.

This is a hands-on, high-impact role for someone who thrives in early-stage environments, wears many hats, and wants to help shape the customer journey at a fast-growing AI security startup.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead technical onboarding and implementation for new customers, including planning, scoping, milestones, and success metrics
• Own the post-sales relationship from a technical standpoint, serving as the main point of contact for customer engineering and security teams
• Develop and execute structured implementation plans to ensure customers achieve First Time to Value quickly and reliably
• Proactively manage risk by identifying blockers, misaligned expectations, or skill gaps--on either side--and escalating as needed
• Collaborate cross-functionally with Sales, Engineering, and Product to ensure successful handoffs and knowledge sharing
• Document repeatable processes, technical guides, implementation templates, and internal runbooks
• Coordinate support needs, triage technical issues, and ensure efficient collaboration with Support and Dev teams
• Act as a customer advocate, gathering feedback and insights to inform roadmap and future services

Required Qualifications

• 4+ years in a post-sales technical role (e.g., TAM, Solutions Engineer, Implementation Consultant, or similar)
• Strong understanding of enterprise infrastructure (e.g., networking, containers, security protocols)
• Experience leading technical deployments (on-prem, hybrid, or complex SaaS integrations)
• Experience working with enterprise customers in regulated industries (bonus: AI/ML or cybersecurity products)
• Excellent communication and project management skills--you can set expectations, drive timelines, and keep everyone aligned
• Ability to thrive in a startup environment--comfortable with ambiguity, self-directed, and proactive

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience in Enterprise Software/SaaS Deployments: Proven track record managing post-sales customer relationships for complex software solutions, especially in B2B or enterprise environments.
• Knowledge of AI/ML or Cybersecurity Products: Familiarity with generative AI, LLMs, or modern security practices is a strong plus, especially if the company operates in these domains.
• Cloud Platform Expertise: Working knowledge of major cloud platforms such as AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud, especially in configuring or supporting customer environments.
• Infrastructure and DevOps Understanding: Experience working with Kubernetes, Docker, Terraform, or similar technologies in customer-facing environments.
• Strong Project Management Skills: PMP or other project management experience, or demonstrable experience managing cross-functional customer onboarding and implementation projects.
• Technical Writing or Documentation Skills: Ability to create or contribute to internal and external documentation such as runbooks, onboarding guides, FAQs, or customer support resources.
• Ability to Write or Review Code: Basic proficiency in scripting or programming languages (e.g., Python, Bash, JavaScript) for troubleshooting, integrations, or custom configurations.
• Experience in Customer-Facing Roles in Startups: Comfortable working in fast-paced, ambiguous environments with minimal structure, ideally in early-stage or high-growth companies.
• Excellent Communication and Presentation Skills: Ability to translate complex technical topics into easy-to-understand concepts for both technical and non-technical audiences.
• Strategic Thinking: Experience helping customers align product usage with business objectives, identifying upsell opportunities, and driving product adoption.

At CalypsoAI, you’ll be part of an ambitious, fast-growing team shaping the future of AI security. If you're looking for a role where you can make an impact while enjoying a supportive and rewarding work environment, we’d love to hear from you!
