Plus, Lumos is growing like crazy! With backing from Andreessen Horowitz (a16z), our team has grown to over +65 amazing humans, and we're exponentially growing our customer base. Join us on our path and write your career story with us! 💙

Lumos has grown quite a bit recently, supported by Andreessen Horowitz (a16z), a dedicated team of almost 70, and a customer base that has swelled six-fold in the last year.

✨ Your Role

  • Shape Solutions Engineering Strategy: Empower the SE team to adopt a proactive and strategic approach, reducing reactive tasks. Your guidance will help SEs influence more ARR and be more strategic.
  • Develop Technical Infrastructure: Work with engineering to construct an effective technical environment for Customer Success and Sales teams. This role involves creating dynamic demo environments and refining tooling for smooth onboarding processes.

This might include supporting deals and customer onboardings from initial integration to successful activation, co-building ROI trackers, conducting targeted demos based on discovery, and implementing technical use cases post-sales.
