  • Operational Reviews: Conduct regular reviews on incidents, field advisories, security vulnerabilities, and root-cause analysis.
  • Sales Collaboration: Participate in sales account planning and support account penetration and pipeline growth strategies.
  • Travel: Travel up to 10% of the time to meet with customers.

What We're Looking For:

  • Technical Expertise: A deep conceptual and hands-on understanding of Apache Kafka and at least one of the following: PostgreSQL, ClickHouse, or OpenSearch.
  • Consulting Background: Proven experience in technology sales, pre-sales, or technical consulting.
  • Development Skills: Fluency in one or more programming languages such as Java, Python, Go, or Ruby.
  • Cloud & Infrastructure: Knowledge of public clouds (AWS, Google, or Azure) and experience with Linux operating systems, networking basics (DNS, VPC), and relational databases.
  • Communication: Excellent presentation and problem-solving skills, with the ability to articulate technical requirements to both customers and internal Product teams.
  • Project Management: Ability to manage multiple projects, determine urgency, and execute detailed action plans.
  • Nice to Have: Previous experience in Customer Relationship Management (CRM) and migration experience (e.g., Oracle to PostgreSQL).

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
