Solutions Architect

Role Description

As a Solutions Architect (pre-sales) at TigerData, you’ll sit at the intersection of Sales, Product, and Engineering, helping some of the most technical teams design and scale systems on PostgreSQL.

• 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.).

Qualifications

• 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.

Requirements

• Location: TigerData is a remote-first company. For coverage, we’re currently focusing on hiring in US time zones.

Benefits

• Flexible PTO and comprehensive family leave.
• Fridays off in August.
• Fully remote opportunities globally.
• Stock options for long-term growth.
• Monthly WiFi stipend.
• Professional development and educational resources.
• Premium insurance options for you and your family (US-based employees).
