Senior Technical Account Manager

About the company: the company is the agentic infrastructure company. We free people and agents to ship what’s next. For more than a decade, the company has shaped how the web is built. As the team behind Next.js, v0, and AI SDK, we create products that help builders move from idea to production with speed, security, and exceptional developer experience. Now, software is entering a new era, and the next generation of products will not just be used by people. They will be built, extended, and operated by agents. We are building the platform for that future, trusted by companies like OpenAI, PayPal, Ramp, Supreme, and millions of developers worldwide . Whether you’re building our products, supporting our customers, growing our community, or shaping our story, you’ll help define what comes next. About the Role: We are looking for a Senior Technical Account Manager (TAM) to join our Forward Deployed Engineering organization within Professional Services. As a Senior TAM, you will be the named, persistent technical owner for a small portfolio of the company's largest enterprise customers, a peer to their VPs of Engineering and CTOs, and the single technical point of contact that orchestrates outcomes across Support, Engineering, Product, and Sales. On the accounts you cover, you take over the post-sales technical relationship that a Solutions Architect (SA) would otherwise own, freeing the SA to focus on pre-sales and on accounts outside your portfolio. This is a billable, customer-funded role. Customers purchase Senior TAM engagement as part of their the company relationship, and you will carry a portfolio of no more than eight concurrent accounts. You will not be on-call, you will not write production code, and you will not carry a sales quota. You will own the technical relationship, drive proactive risk identification and architectural guidance, and ensure every other the company engagement on your accounts (e.g. Platform Consumption, Forward Deployed Engineers (FDEs), Professional Services projects, audits, workshops) lands successfully and compounds in value over time. If our Professional Services team is structured around a simple frame - PS delivers outcomes, FDE delivers velocity, TAM delivers continuity - you are the continuity. You are the reason a customer’s third year on the company is more valuable to them than their first. This is a in-person hybrid role: 3 days per week in-office at our San Francisco, New York, or Austin office. What You Will Do: Own the post-sales technical relationship for a portfolio of up to three strategic enterprise accounts. You are the customer's named technical owner, the person their VP of Engineering calls when something matters. You take this accountability over from the Solutions Architect at deal close, through a formal handover, and you hold it for the life of the engagement. You co‑own each account with the Account Executive, with clear domain boundaries: you own technical, they own commercial, and both of you have veto rights within your domain. You run a defined cadence with each account: weekly 30‑minute check‑ins, monthly business reviews, quarterly QBRs, and an annual roadmap workshop. Lead post‑incident pattern ownership and technical triage. You are not the 24/7 first call. Customer Support remains the front line, but when an incident escalates or a pattern emerges across multiple incidents, you take ownership. You drive the post‑mortem, identify the architectural root cause, and own the remediation roadmap. You commit to responding within 4 business hours to any P1/P2 escalation routed to you, and you are the customer’s escalation path when standard Support channels need acceleration. Drive proactive technical strategy, cost optimization, and architectural guidance. You spend the majority of your time on work the customer doesn't yet know they need: architectural reviews, technical risk mapping, cost and usage optimization, pre-launch readiness assessments, and translating the company's product evolution into specific opportunities for the customer's business. These are jobs the company does for many customers through the Solutions Architecture function. On your accounts, you do them deeper, more often, and with sustained context that a generalist SA can't match. The best TAMs save customers more than the cost of the engagement through this work alone. Scope and orchestrate the company’s broader engagement on your accounts. When your customers need hands‑on engineering work, you scope and hand off to a Forward Deployed Engineer. When they need a deep audit, you scope and hand off to Professional Services. You do not deliver these engagements yourself, you co‑ordinate, track and capture the outcomes of these engagements, weaving them into the customer’s story. - your leverage is in ensuring they happen at the right time, with the right scope, and that the outcomes integrate back into the customer’s longer‑term technical roadmap. Throwaway demos and illustrative proofs‑of‑concept are part of the job; code that ships to a customer’s production environment is not. Operate as the customer's voice inside the company. You translate customer technical needs into signal for Product, Engineering, and Support, using the same the company‑internal channels that Solutions Architects and Developer Success Engineers use today. You hold internal teams accountable to commitments you've made to your customers. In the early phase of the function, you will do this primarily through influence and relationships built up by the broader Forward Deployed Engineering org; over time, this will operate through defined cross‑functional service‑level agreements you help establish. Carry primary accountability for renewal of the TAM engagement on each of your accounts. The Senior TAM SKU is renewed annually. Your customers’ decision to renew is the most honest measure of the value you’ve delivered. You will be measured against a 90%+ TAM SKU renewal rate, with supporting metrics including TAM-specific CSAT (target 4.5/5+), escalation responsiveness against the 4‑hour SLA (target 95%+), and influence on Professional Services and FDE attach. About You: 5+ years in customer-facing technical roles at a platform, infrastructure, or developer tools company, including Technical Account Management, Solutions Architecture, Developer Success Engineering, Customer Support Engineering, Field Engineering, or hands‑on technical consulting. You have personally owned customer relationships at the $1M+ ACV tier, including running QBRs, leading roadmap workshops, navigating procurement and legal, and surviving renewal cycles. Demonstrated track record of getting things done across organizations without formal authority. You have specific examples of times you drove a complex technical outcome that required coordination across Engineering, Product, and Support orgs at a previous company. You are comfortable holding senior internal stakeholders accountable to commitments they have made to your customers, and you escalates quickly when blocked rather than letting issues drift. Strong written communication, particularly for executive and incident contexts. You write clear incident summaries, executive readouts, and post‑mortems. You can compress a complex technical situation into a one-page summary a CTO will read and act on. Most TAM candidates over‑index on verbal communication; we particularly value written. Comfortable as a peer to senior technical leadership. You can sit in a room with a Fortune 500 CTO, push #J-18808-Ljbffr United States Digital Space LLC
