Solutions Delivery Engineer

Why this role matters

• Our customers are enterprise architects, security officers, developers, DevOps managers. We offer them subscriptions to valuable DevSecOps solutions that work. As long as our customers value their investment, they continue to renew and expand their deployments. No value = no growth and no renewal. 


• Fortunately, our customers find us easy to work with (as reported via customer sat surveys). They trust Sonatype and value their investments, as demonstrated by our 90%+ renewal rate -- one of the highest renewal rates in the software subscription business. We choose not to rest on our laurels. If our customers are not properly deployed, optimized, or have compromised rollouts due to their lack of time, technical know-how/resources, or understanding of best practices - it will inhibit our mutual ability to achieve success. That is why this role is so important.
