DevOps Architect

Many companies pay lip-service to “Customer Success”. At Gearset, we’re looking for a DevOps Architect to join a company where it’s a core part of our DNA. You’ll partner with Gearset’s most strategic customers, helping them adopt DevOps practices to get the most out of their Salesforce investment. This is a hands-on, technical role where you’ll guide customers from the moment they join Gearset to becoming confident, successful users driving DevOps within their Salesforce teams.

What’s the opportunity for a DevOps Architect at Gearset?

• As a DevOps Architect, you’ll work closely with customers to understand their goals for adopting Gearset, learn how their teams work, and provide expert guidance to help them achieve success.

• You’ll collaborate with a cross-functional team of developers, salespeople, and marketers, combining your technical expertise with commercial insight to make a real impact for customers.
• By working directly with users, you’ll play a key role in shaping our product’s future and making sure their voices are heard across the company. This is your chance to drive customer success and help Gearset continue to grow.

• Be a customer champion, ensuring their views are represented in the company and driving continual improvement in user satisfaction.
• Success in this role means measurable improvements in customer satisfaction, increased feature adoption, enhanced user engagement, and the ability to proactively address challenges to deliver tangible outcomes for the customer.
• Work closely with our product team to suggest features and quality-of-life improvements, drawing on customer feedback and insights gained from direct collaboration with users
