  • Support customer evaluations by addressing architecture, performance, Oracle-to-PostgreSQL and other migration paths, application compatibility, extension strategy, security, integration, operational support, and long-term maintainability questions

  • Maintain a strong understanding of the PostgreSQL ecosystem, including community PostgreSQL, major cloud providers, open-source tooling, relevant extensions, commercial PostgreSQL vendors, migration partners, and emerging competitors, and use that knowledge to position Spinnaker’s differentiated value clearly with customers
  • Contribute to enablement assets, demo environments, reusable collateral, and internal knowledge sharing

  • Experience with Oracle-to-PostgreSQL migration, including architecture assessment, application and schema compatibility, migration tooling, performance validation, cutover planning, and post-migration support requirements
  • Experience supporting customer conversations around cloud infrastructure, especially AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud
  • Ability to communicate technical concepts effectively to both technical and executive audiences
  • Experience leading technical demonstrations, workshops, and proof-of-concept or proof-of-value engagements
  • Strong written communication skills for proposals, technical responses, and customer follow-up
  • Ability to work across EMEA time zones and travel as needed
