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.

  • Flexible PTO and comprehensive family leave.
  • Fridays off in August.
  • Fully remote opportunities globally.
  • Stock options for long-term growth.
