- Technical background - Experience with data warehousing, analytics engineering, and sales/marketing/revenue operations data
- Proficiency in SQL and knowledge of database best practices and troubleshooting

What the job involves
- We're looking for the newest member of our Solutions Engineering team
- You'll be a vital bridge between the front lines (working directly with prospects and clients) and the sales, product, and engineering teams, collaborating to relay critical feedback that shapes our product roadmap
- You’ll provide technical guidance, solution design, and thought leadership to help companies maximize their data warehouse investments - ensuring the highest quality data is delivered to the right places, at the right time and cadence
- You will also be an educator and architect alongside our Sales team
- From demos to workshops, playbooks, and sales enablement, you will teach organizations about Census’s value
- Join a team that’s not just hardworking and curious but also close-knit and supportive
- We tackle big challenges together and always have each other’s backs
- We love sharing what we learn - both within the team and with the broader community
- And when we’re not solving problems, teaching, or empowering others, you’ll find us chatting about ways to improve the product, swapping ideas about our favorite shows, or trading recommendations for the latest must-hear podcasts
- We may be small, but we’re a mighty team that’s all about collaboration and connection!
- Partner with Customer Account Managers to give customers’ data and operational teams access to deep technical knowledge about Census and the broader data ecosystem
- Teach customers the “art of the possible” with Census, demonstrating use cases and best practices
- Take ownership of the customer’s implementation and challenges. Ensure that all technical issues, questions, and post-sales product concerns are clearly resolved
- Assist with prospect POCs, answering questions and helping prospect be successful with Census
- Collaborate as the technical liaison between Census account management and engineering teams
- Engage with product and engineering teams on the roadmap, sharing customer feedback and advocating for customer feature requests
- Ensure customers successfully implement and use Census
- Codify and share how-to’s in our documentation and internal knowledge base
- Mentor other Solutions Engineers, help onboard new team members, and build the team’s capabilities over time
Our take
Companies spend inordinate amounts of time and money building data warehouses and moving data from enterprise applications. Census smooths over that syncing process and makes the resultant information available to employees from across the company.
Unlike most business intelligence tools, Census operationalizes data directly from the data warehouse of a company, and syncs that information with a company’s favourite apps like Salesforce, Marketo and Zendesk. This allows non-data teams such as marketing and sales to access the accurate, up-to-date information they need without requiring coding skills or intensive support from data or developer teams.
The company believes that it can go further to refine its product and fulfil its ambition of building a platform that will allow non-technical users to build data-led queries. It is making positive strides in this direction, with a key move being the recent acquisition of Falcrum, an AI-powered customer segmentation platform. This strategic addition is set to fast-track Census's roadmap, bringing the company one step closer to its goals.
