Owning the technical side of deals
You’ll help move customers from “this looks interesting” to “we’re confident this will work.” You’ll work directly with customers to design scalable systems using PostgreSQL and TigerData. You’ll go deep on real problems such as schema design, query optimization, performance issues, and architectural tradeoffs. You’ll act as a trusted technical partner from the first conversation through early adoption. You’ll collaborate closely with Product, Engineering, Support, and Customer Success - bringing real customer feedback back into the product.
