Company mission
TigerData is the fastest PostgreSQL platform for real-time, analytical, and agentic applications.
Role
Who you are
- Have worked in a Solutions Architect / Sales Engineer / pre-sales role for a technical or developer-focused product
- Have real, hands-on experience with relational databases at scale (PostgreSQL is a big plus)
- Are comfortable talking through data models, query plans, performance tuning, and system design with engineers
- Understand cloud environments (AWS, GCP, Azure) and modern data stacks (ETL pipelines, storage, compute)
- Can switch gears between a deep technical conversation and a higher-level business discussion
- Like figuring things out - you don’t need everything to be documented to get started
- Are already using (or at least experimenting with) AI tools to work faster and smarter
- We don't require previous experience with our tech stack, but enthusiasm for learning is key. Our technologies include PostgreSQL, Tiger Cloud, AWS, Go, Docker, Kubernetes, Python, and innovative features like Hypertables, Hypercore, vector search, and real-time analytics
What the job involves
- As a Solutions Architect (pre-sales) at TigerData, you’ll sit at the intersection of Sales, Product, and Engineering, helping some of the most technical teams design and scale systems on PostgreSQL
- You’ll partner closely with Account Executives to win deals, but the real job is earning trust with engineers. That means getting hands-on: thinking through data models, digging into query performance, and designing architectures that hold up in production
- Some days that’s whiteboarding with a customer. Other days, it’s troubleshooting a slow query or rethinking how data is structured. This role is equal parts builder, translator, and problem-solver
- If you like getting into the weeds with customers, influencing real technical decisions, and seeing how things actually run in production, not just in slides, you’ll enjoy this role
- Owning the technical side of deals by helping move customers from “this looks interesting” to “we’re confident this will work.”
- Working directly with customers to design scalable systems using PostgreSQL and TigerData
- Going deep on real problems: schema design, query optimization, performance issues, and architectural tradeoffs
- Acting as a trusted technical partner from the first conversation through early adoption
- Collaborating closely with Product, Engineering, Support, and Customer Success - bringing real customer feedback back into the product
- Building things that scale your impact: demos, reference architectures, benchmarks, and technical content
- Using AI tools where they actually help - whether that’s analyzing queries faster, exploring architectures, or speeding up how you build and share solutions
- Staying curious and continuously learning (Postgres ecosystem, cloud infra, emerging data patterns, etc.)
Application process
- We respond to every applicant
- We review applications fairly and objectively, and shortlist based on relevant skills and experience
- We ensure clear and timely communication throughout your candidate journey
- We maintain a rigorous interview process with a high bar, designed to give you the opportunity to meet various team members you'll collaborate with across our organization
Our take
Timescale helps developers and businesses manage and analyze big data sets that power large-scale operations. It offers this through its own open-source time-series SQL database which, unlike many competitors, is built with PostgreSQL.
The product’s broad client applications include finance, logistics, and space. It serves hundreds of customers, with tens of thousands of other organizations using the TimescaleDB platform in the community (including companies like IBM, Microsoft, Pfizer, and Samsung, among others.)
Timescale has also landed substantial funding, becoming a Unicorn back in 2022. This all signifies the value that Timescale's platform provides. The company continues to grow, investing across product, engineering, and R&D, as well as broadening its efforts in serving the Timescale community.
