-
-    <p>As a Gruntwork DevOps Sales Engineer, you'll work directly with customers ranging from startups
-      to scale-ups to enterprises to help them evaluate Gruntwork on a technical level. You'll also work 
-      on improving the evaluation process itself by coming up with new ways to demo the Gruntwork 
-      product and creating small enhancements to the product that open up new markets like migrating users 
-      from Heroku or CloudFormation. Ideally, you can blog about what you learn, or publish your tooling as
-      open source.
-    </p>
-    <p>Gruntwork is a different type of company with a different type of sales ethos. We serve two key stakeholders:
-      (1) our customers and (2) Gruntwork itself. For customers, our mission is to help them make the
-      best possible decision for setting up their AWS and Terraform infrastructure, whether that includes Gruntwork
-      solutions or not. For Gruntwork, our mission is to help customers understand how the Gruntwork product
-      meets our customers' needs. When we achieve both our missions, our sales performance takes care of itself.
-    </p>
-    <p>
-      As the second DevOps sales engineer, your success will make a significant impact on the
-      overall growth of the company. You'll work closely with our principal sales engineer, other Gruntwork
-      software engineers, and one of the founders. Your growth path in this role could be as either a star individual
-      contributor or team lead (at Gruntwork, we value IC and management roles equally), either on the sales 
-      engineer track, or an adjacent one such as software engineer or developer evangelist.
-    </p>

-    <h4>What You'll Work On</h4>
-    <ul>
-      <li>
-        <strong>Understand customer requirements.</strong> The first rule of working with customers is
-        to understand their needs. You'll work with customers to identify their requirements and in some 
-        cases help to define them.
-      </li>
-      <li>
-        <strong>Showcase the product.</strong> Show customers how the Gruntwork
-        product works. Answer both their high-level strategic questions and
-        low-level technical questions. When necessary, collaborate with the
-        engineering team to answer a question or build your knowledge.
-      </li>
-      <li>
-        <strong>Develop proofs of concept.</strong> When we find a new customer opportunity
-        or market segment, a little tooling and docs could go a long way. You'll study the new
-        opportunity, propose a lightweight deliverable and implement it. 
-      </li>
-      <li>
-        <strong>Write blog posts.</strong> Share recent insights as a post on the Gruntwork blog,
-        which has received millions of views.
-      </li>
-      <li>
-        <strong>Work with a stellar team.</strong>You'll work with two teams. You'll collaborate
-        with a team of industry-leading software and DevOps engineers that have written the open source tools
-        and battle-tested, production-grade infrastructure-as-code for which Gruntwork is famous. In addition, 
-        you'll be part of the (someday famous) Gruntwork sales team.
-      </li>
-    </ul>
-    <h4>Your Ideal Background</h4>
-    <ul>
-      <li>
-        <strong>Significant experience with Terraform and AWS.</strong> You have used 
-        Terraform in depth and you know both its charm and its challenges. You've deployed 
-        many resources to AWS and run services in prod. There is a special authority that 
-        comes from having been in the trenches, so this is the one hard requirement 
-        for this role. 
-      </li>
-      <li>
-        <strong>Interest in helping others.</strong>You enjoy engaging with and presenting
-        to others. You've experienced situations where you worked directly with stakeholders
-        and it suited you.
-      </li>
-      <li>
-        <strong>Interest in hacking.</strong>You like coding, tinkering, putting together quick demos, 
-        and showcasing proofs of concept. If there is a need to implement a narrowly-scoped deliverable
-        for a customer, you see this as a fun opportunity. 
-      </li>
-      <li>
-        <strong>Moral grounding.</strong> You feel comfortable saying no when necessary 
-        or acknowledging the limits of our product so that we can all sleep better
-        at night. In general, you do the right thing for customers, for Gruntwork, and for yourself.
-      </li>
-    </ul>
-    <h4>What time zones do we work in?</h4>
-    <p>
-      While Gruntwork <a href="/careers/#sane-working-hours">generally</a> hires
-      anywhere between San Francisco and Berlin, candidates for this role must
-      be within the GMT-8 to GMT-3 time zones, with a preference for being
-      located in the USA or Canada. We expect you'll work primarily with
-      customers and fellow Grunts in those time zones, with limited engagement
-      with customers worldwide and Grunts in Europe. Working during reasonable
-      hours is a priority for us.
