Technical Lead

About the company

Braintrust is the agent observability platform. By actively applying intelligence to agent traces and automatically surfacing the most critical patterns, Braintrust gives teams the visibility to understand how agents behave in production and the tools to improve them.

Teams at Notion, Stripe, Box, OpenAI, and Cloudflare use Braintrust to trace their agents, find the issues in their observability data, and run evals that tell them how to improve.

As the Head of Technical Solutions, you will build and lead Braintrust’s post-sales function from the ground up — spanning Professional Services, Technical Account Management, and Technical Enablement. You will be responsible for building and scaling a high-performing team dedicated to seamless customer onboarding, driving product adoption, and securing renewals. You will operate with a business mindset, ensuring the technical solutions function is cost-neutral or profitable while maintaining a laser focus on Gross Revenue Retention (GRR) and Net Dollar Retention (NDR) as your primary success metrics.

You will play a critical “player/coach” role, balancing high-impact hands-on field work with the strategic responsibility of defining the post-sales program. In the early stages, you will personally scope engagements, write SOWs, and lead delivery for our most important customers. As the function scales, you will transition into coaching your team while establishing the long-term pricing, packaging, and repeatable playbooks that define how customers experience Braintrust in complex, production environments.

You’ll partner closely with GTM, Customer Experience, and Engineering to ensure customers are getting value quickly and renewing and expanding over time, and to feed insights back into how we improve the product and go-to-market motion.

What You’ll Do

• Work directly with customers to onboard, implement, and drive early adoption of Braintrust across key accounts.

• Serve as a strategic technical point of contact for key accounts post-implementation — monitoring technical health, unblocking issues, and ensuring customers continue to realize value.

• Own Gross Revenue Retention and Net Dollar Retention as core business metrics, building the processes needed to track, forecast, and improve them.

• Hire, develop, and scale a high-performing Post-Sales team spanning Professional Services, Technical Account Management, and Technical Enablement.

• Scope engagements and write clear, outcome-driven Statements of Work that align with customer goals.

• Own delivery end‑to‑end, ensuring a high bar for execution and customer outcomes.

• Define and build Braintrust’s Post-Sales offerings, including onboarding, implementation, technical account management, technical enablement, and advisory.

• Partner with Sales and Finance on renewal forecasting, expansion planning, and early identification of at‑risk accounts.

• Manage the Post-Sales P&L to ensure the function operates as a cost-neutral or profitable business unit.

• Identify patterns, gaps, and opportunities from customer work and feed them back into product and GTM teams.

• Travel to work closely with customers when needed.
