What you need

- Proven success selling data platforms, operational databases (e.g., Postgres, MySQL, cloud-native DBaaS), or adjacent data/AI infrastructure to technical buyers and business leaders.
- Strong understanding of modern data and application architectures, including cloud-native services, microservices, event-driven systems, and how operational data underpins AI and analytics strategies.
- Ability to sell to both technical stakeholders (developers, architects, data engineers) and business stakeholders (product leaders, operations, line-of-business owners).
- Demonstrated experience leading specialist or overlay motions, working jointly with core Account Executives to create and progress opportunities.
- Executive presence with the ability to whiteboard architectures, lead C-level conversations, and build trust with senior decision makers.
Nice to have

- Familiarity with data platforms, lakehouse architectures, and cloud ecosystems (AWS, Azure, GCP), including how operational databases fit within broader data and AI strategies.
- Understanding of reverse ETL, real-time decisioning, and operational analytics use cases, and how they drive value for customer-facing and internal applications.
- Exposure to AI-native and agent-driven applications that depend on low-latency, highly scalable operational data services.
- Prior experience in a high-growth, category-creating environment, helping shape new plays, messaging, and customer narratives.
