PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS * Experience selling Postgres, operational databases, OLTP workloads, or transactional cloud database services, ideally within large or strategic accounts. * 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. * Experience collaborating with partners and ISVs to drive joint pipeline and co-sell motions.
