As a Strategic Sales Engineer at Atlan, you'll build strong relationships with stakeholders to understand their data problems and act as a trusted advisor. Your role involves evangelizing Atlan’s principles, conducting demos and trials, gathering customer feedback, and working with the product team to shape the roadmap.
Why is this role important for us? 🔗
- We started as a data team ourselves, and we want to be the kind of partner that we would have liked to have ourselves! This principle guides all our values and business decisions. For example, we are open by default — built on open APIs, fully open architecture, publicly available documentation, no lock-ins, etc
- We fundamentally believe that the most important role of our sales and go-to-market team is to help customers solve problems and play the role of a trusted advisor. Sometimes this might mean turning customers away and even recommending other solutions. Even if we lose some revenue in the short term by doing so, we believe that doing right by the customer is always the right thing to do.
- Our GTM team has been growing rapidly to meet customer demand and we’re looking for talented Sales Engineers to help build and mature our sales engineering function.
- We're looking for someone who's passionate about solving problems, loves all things data, and is looking for a high-impact role in a fast-growth startup.
