Customer Success Manager (Remote)

At Imply, our mission is to empower people and organizations to achieve more with their data. We believe that better insights lead to better decisions, and that the right technology can remove barriers, spark innovation and create lasting impact. In addition to our successful database business, we’re building the industry’s first observability warehouse, Imply Lumi. Built by the creators of Apache Druid, Lumi lets organizations store more data, support more use cases and spend less for observability. Imply Lumi is a high-performance, cost-efficient data layer built to decouple existing observability tools with zero disruption.

In this role, you will help redefine what is possible with observability and security data. As part of the Customer Experience Team you will play an important role in bringing Imply Lumi to life. Lumi delivers lightning fast queries, significant cost savings and seamless integration with leading observability technologies while giving customers the freedom to innovate without vendor lock-in. You will partner closely with customers to understand their challenges, design tailored solutions and demonstrate how Lumi can unlock new levels of speed, scale and value from their data.

Backed by leading investors including a16z and Bessemer Venture Partners, Imply is on a fast growth trajectory, transforming how organizations manage and gain insights from their observability and security data. Our customers, including Pepsi, Reddit, Roblox, Salesforce, and others, rely on our technology to power faster decisions, reduce costs, and unlock new possibilities. Come join a team of innovators and problem-solvers who are reshaping the future of data!
