Role

Who you are

Have deep hands-on experience with PostgreSQL — especially SQL tuning, performance optimization, and schema design
Have delivered complex migrations, data transformations, or optimizations in production environments
Are fluent in SQL and Python (or similar scripting languages for data work)
Are comfortable leading technical conversations with customers, especially under pressure
Love using AI tools (copilots, LLMs) to speed up query rewriting, code generation, or problem diagnosis
Communicate clearly and know how to explain tradeoffs to customers in high-stakes moments
Bonus: experience in Solutions Engineering, Professional Services, or Technical Consulting

What the job involves

As a Customer Delivery Engineer at TigerData, you’ll work directly with our most strategic customers during their make-or-break moments: migrations, performance tuning, schema design, and production rollout.
You’ll write SQL, debug slow queries, optimize real workloads, and you’ll do it all while using AI copilots to go faster and work smarter. Your job is to help customers go live successfully, not to write long docs or open tickets for someone else to fix
This isn’t a support role. It’s a delivery engineering role for builders who thrive in ambiguity, love working directly with customers, and want to see their work quickly translate into a real-world production environment
Deliver customer projects
Implement migrations, data optimizations, and schema designs
Scope and execute engagements with clear, measurable deliverables
Fix complex technical problems
Tune slow queries and configurations
Write tactical fixes and scripts to unblock customers quickly
Apply AI to accelerate engineering
Use copilots (LLMs, AI assistants) to generate query rewrites and test optimizations
Create reusable AI prompts and delivery playbooks
Bridge architecture and reality
Translate reference architectures into customer-specific deployments
Adapt TigerData features (e.g., Hypertables, Hypercore, continuous aggregates, vector search) to real workloads
Be the customer’s technical champion
Own technical success during project delivery
Escalate to core Engineering only when there’s a product-level gap
Capture and share knowledge
Write playbooks, scripts, and internal guides
Feed learnings back to Product and Engineering
Success in this role looks like:
Customers consistently go live in production, on-time and with clear performance wins
Projects deliver measurable outcomes — e.g., 10x faster queries, seamless migrations
You’re known internally as a go-to technical voice on Postgres performance and customer delivery
Knowledge from your work gets reused across the org — through scripts, guides, or automation
You’re seen by customers as a trusted technical advisor, not just a vendor support rep

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.
