As a Staff Solutions Architect at Upbound, you will be responsible for driving the technical success of our customers. You will lead customer outcomes from initial implementation to production adoption, ensuring our clients realize tangible business value with Crossplane and the Upbound platform. This role is deeply technical and hands-on, embedded in the post-sales process, where you will work closely with customers to deliver functional solutions rather than merely offering guidance.
