About Us

Cloudsmith is the world’s most powerful artifact management platform. Software organizations of all sizes use Cloudsmith to protect and manage their software supply chain. Running at cloud scale in a multi-tenant software-as-a-service (SaaS) model, Cloudsmith hosts repositories that proxy and cache public open-source software (OSS) indexes, providing a platform that organizations can use to scan artifacts for security vulnerabilities, licensing issues, and malware, as well as implement policies that govern the use of artifacts and act as a dependency firewall. We support over 30 formats, with broad support for languages, containers, and operating system libraries. Cloudsmith is built for the enterprise, supporting modern security protocols and providing advanced features for observability, integration, and orchestration. Customers use Cloudsmith as part of their CI/CD build chain, as well as for developer-native distribution of their own artifacts and binaries to end-customers.

We help our customers manage and secure their software supply chain, and improve their developer experience. We are by developers, for developers. Our culture operates with openness and transparency, driven by our ambition to build a great company. We enjoy working with great people and customers. We learn, support one another, and we’re growing. Now is a great time to join us.

About the Role / What you'll be doing

As a Customer Success Architect, you’ll be responsible for leading the technical onboarding and rollout of Cloudsmith for enterprise customers. You will work closely with stakeholders across customer organisations to define technical architecture, manage project deliverables, and ensure successful deployments. Your primary focus will be on facilitating the end-to-end implementation process, coordinating between multiple internal teams (such as customer success, support, product, and engineering) and client teams to deliver results on time and in scope.

You’ll define customer success by ensuring that the software solutions are aligned with customer objectives and helping them derive maximum value from the platform.

  • Coordinate project management activities, aligning customer and internal teams, setting expectations, and ensuring deliverables meet business objectives.
  • Lead stakeholder communication across enterprise customer teams, including platform engineers, DevOps, and security professionals, ensuring all are aligned with the deployment roadmap.
  • Monitor and manage project timelines and deliverables, providing status reports and proactively addressing risks to ensure smooth rollout.
  • Build and maintain strong relationships with key customer stakeholders and act as their trusted technical advisor.
  • Collaborate closely with internal product, engineering, and support teams to ensure customer needs are addressed, and drive product improvements based on customer feedback.
  • Troubleshoot and resolve technical issues that arise during the deployment process, ensuring minimal downtime and disruption.

Who Should Apply / What skills & Experience you need
