Solutions Architect
United StatesSales EngineeringRemote
Summary
Pre-sales Solutions Architect partnering with sales to design scalable PostgreSQL systems for customers. Hands-on with data models, query performance, architecture, requiring relational DB experience and cloud expertise.
About the role
Responsibilities
- 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.)
Requirements
- 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.
