About the team
Customer Success Engineers (CSEs) at HashiCorp act as our customers’ primary technical point of contact, serving as experts to help drive product adoption, establish best practices and increase value attainment across our customers’ journey! CSEs help our customers successfully onboard and integrate their HashiCorp tools into their software stacks and development lifecycles. CSEs also help customers recognize maximum value with our tooling by focusing on driving adoption of additional high-value product use cases. Finally, CSEs ensure customers are prepared for an on-time renewal by cementing the value of the HashiCorp toolchain within their stack, and by mitigating any risks to the renewal.
