Welcome to brighthush: Pioneering the Future of AI‑Powered Software Delivery
At brighthush, we’re redefining how businesses ship software in an era where artificial intelligence is accelerating code creation. Our AI‑driven delivery platform brings intelligent automation to the entire software lifecycle— from build and test to deployment, security, compliance, and cost optimization. By embedding governance and policy controls directly into the platform, we empower engineering teams to ship faster, safer, and more efficiently.
With a global footprint spanning 26 offices across 27 countries, brighthush has already facilitated over 185 million deployments, 82 million builds, and 18 trillion flag evaluations. Our customers—including United Airlines, Morningstar, and Choice Hotels—have accelerated releases by up to 75 %, slashed cloud spend by 60 %, and achieved tenfold DevOps productivity gains. We’re on a mission to make AI the invisible backbone of every software delivery process, and we’re looking for exceptional talent to help us move even faster.
About the Role
As a Customer Experience Engineer (CXE) at brighthush, you will be the frontline advocate for our enterprise customers. You’ll own complex, often ambiguous technical challenges—from broken pipelines and deployment failures to connectivity issues and misconfigured infrastructure—through to resolution. Your insights will feed directly back to our Product and Engineering teams, driving continuous improvement of the platform.
Whether you’re early in your career and eager to dive into real production systems with mentorship, or you’re an experienced DevOps/SRE/platform engineer seeking direct customer impact without sacrificing hands‑on coding, this role offers the perfect blend of technical depth and customer engagement.
Key Responsibilities
- End‑to‑End Case Ownership: Manage customer cases from triage to root‑cause analysis and resolution across Kubernetes, ECS, Docker, and major cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, Azure). Allocate 20–30 % of your time to shadowing senior engineers during build engagements, co‑building solutions with customers.
- Product Feedback Loop: Collaborate with Product and Engineering to translate recurring patterns into customer‑facing tooling, diagnostics, dashboards, and bug fixes. Your hands‑on experience will shape the next generation of platform features.
- Customer Communication: Lead or actively participate in customer calls and screen‑shares, articulating findings clearly to both technical and managerial stakeholders. Your communication skills will be pivotal in building trust and delivering value.
- Internal Tooling & Automation: Build scripts and diagnostic tools that accelerate case resolution. As our AI/LLM‑powered tooling matures, you’ll gain exposure to cutting‑edge automation frameworks.
- Documentation & Knowledge Sharing: Convert recurring issues into runbooks, playbooks, and reusable templates that empower the broader CXE team and reduce time‑to‑resolution across the organization.
Essential Qualifications
- Minimum 2 years of experience in a customer‑facing engineering role, DevOps, SRE, or platform engineering. Depth and curiosity are valued over tenure.
- Hands‑on expertise with Kubernetes, ECS, Docker, and at least one major cloud provider (AWS, GCP, or Azure).
- Strong grasp of CI/CD concepts, Linux fundamentals, and networking basics.
- Proficiency in scripting languages (Python, Node.js, Bash, or similar). Demonstrated ability to read source code and implement small, guided changes.
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills, comfortable leading customer calls and documenting findings for diverse audiences.
- Fast learner who thrives in unfamiliar systems and can adapt quickly to evolving technologies.
Preferred Qualifications
- Experience with observability tooling (Prometheus, Grafana, OpenTelemetry) and infrastructure‑as‑code (Terraform, Pulumi).
- Familiarity with secrets management solutions (Vault, AWS Secrets Manager) and AI agents/MCP frameworks.
- Prior involvement in building or contributing to internal tooling or automation pipelines.
- Knowledge of security scanning tools (Snyk, Trivy) and compliance frameworks (ISO 27001, SOC 2).
- Background in building or maintaining large‑scale, multi‑tenant SaaS platforms.
Skills & Competencies
- Technical Proficiency: Kubernetes, Docker, ECS, CI/CD pipelines, cloud infrastructure, scripting, Linux, networking.
- Problem‑Solving: Analytical mindset, root‑cause analysis, pattern recognition, and creative troubleshooting.
- Customer‑Centricity: Empathy, active listening, and a passion for delivering exceptional customer experiences.
- Collaboration: Ability to work cross‑functionally with Product, Engineering, Sales, and Support teams.
- Communication: Clear, concise, and tailored messaging for technical and non‑technical audiences.
- Adaptability: Comfortable with ambiguity, rapid change, and continuous learning.

- Independent Build Engagements: Progress from shadowing senior engineers to leading build engagements autonomously, establishing yourself as a trusted technical partner.

- Observability & IaC Exposure: Deepen your expertise in observability platforms, infrastructure‑as‑code, AI agents, and secrets management.
- Mentorship & Knowledge Sharing: Mentor junior engineers, contribute to internal knowledge bases, and influence the broader engineering culture.
