AI Adoption Engineer

Responsibilities

• ▹Design, produce, and run internal hackathons within customer organizations: company-specific formats, cohort-based programs, single-day sprints, multi-day builds, and theme-based challenges
• ▹Build and own the Customer Developer Day program: immersive half-day or full-day events for specific accounts or segments
• ▹Develop repeatable facilitation infrastructure: playbooks, judging rubrics, agenda frameworks, and post-event retrospective templates
• ▹Partner with AI Deployment Managers and Customer Success to identify the right intervention for each account
• ▹Capture outcomes from every engagement and turn them into customer success stories for internal account teams
• ▹Identify patterns across customer engagements and feed them back into how the Customer Education team designs programs

Requirements

• ▹Technical credibility with experienced engineers
• ▹Uses Cursor or comparable AI coding tools in their own workflow, with genuine opinions about good AI-assisted development
• ▹Understands the difference between a great event and a great adoption program — behavior change is the goal
• ▹Energized by being in the room with customers, doing their best work when the stakes are live
• ▹Experience in a post-sales or customer success context, operating within account relationships
• ▹Strong communicator and facilitator, equally comfortable with skeptical engineers and a VP of Engineering

Nice to have

• ▹Background in instructional design, facilitation, or learning science
• ▹Experience at a developer tools company: IDE, API platform, DevOps, or AI tooling
• ▹Familiarity with enterprise engineering environments: how decisions get made, how rollouts happen, where adoption stalls
• ▹Content creation experience: technical writing, video tutorials, or live coding sessions
