Orchestrate workflows with Prefect. Connect AI agents to your tools and data with Horizon. Open-source foundations, production-ready platforms. Backed by Bessemer.
About the role
Own the technical side of enterprise deals. F rom discovery through close: advising prospects, presenting and demonstrating the value of our platforms from a technical perspective. Distill the use case. Most prospects don't arrive with a clean requirement. They arrive with a data platform, a pile of tools, a team of engineers and users expecting answers, and a budget. You figure out how our products fit together to solve for their use case, then help them validate the approach.
What they're looking for
- Five things. If you have these, apply, even if the nice-to-haves are thin
- 3+ years of engineering experience, building real solutions. Data engineering, DevOps, software engineering, data science: the discipline matters less than the fact that you've built something programmatically and shipped it. Python is our house language
- 2+ years in a customer facing role. Deep discovery skills and the habit of uncovering the real problem before proposing anything is key. You ask the second and third question, and you notice what the customer isn't saying
- You explain hard things clearly to engineers. What's required is that a senior platform engineer finishes a call with you and trusts you
- 2+ years of Enterprise infrastructure depth. In at least one major cloud (Azure, AWS, or GCP), and comfort with Kubernetes, networking, IAM, service mesh, and a production database like Postgres
- Orchestration tooling as a user, builder, or seller: Prefect, Dagster, Airflow, Temporal, Step Functions, etc

Our Vision: Prefect will define automation for the context era.
Our Mission: Curate an intelligent context layer that delivers the right information at the right time.
Prefect builds automation for an unpredictable world. The last decade of automation was about protecting workflows from unpredictability; in the agentic era, unpredictability is the point. Our mission is to give people confidence in automated work, whether that work is a mission-critical data pipeline or a fleet of AI agents.
In August 2026, Prefect and Dagster, competitors for eight years, joined forces to build the next generation of automation infrastructure. Today, our ecosystem includes Dagster, the data platform; Prefect, the agent platform; and FastMCP, the leading open-source developer framework for the MCP ecosystem. Together, our open-source and commercial products are trusted by Fortune 500 companies, data innovators, and high-growth technology companies around the world.
We think of our culture as the operating system of the company. We’ve carefully created a supportive, high-performance environment that empowers our team to do the best work of their careers, have meaningful impact, and continue growing...
