High-performance time series database. Backed by Y Combinator.
About the role
We're hiring a pre-sales engineer for North America to own the technical side of every sales cycle in the region.
What they're looking for
- Has run or supported technical evaluations with enterprise buyers, and knows how to define success criteria and hold a proof of concept to them
- Experience in a hands-on role with databases, streaming or data infrastructure, as a pre-sales engineer, solutions engineer, data engineer or software engineer
- Based in New York City, or on the US East Coast and able to be with customers in New York regularly
- Strong SQL and a solid understanding of database internals: storage layout, partitioning, indexing, query planning, and why columnar storage and vectorized execution matter for time series
- A precise communicator: explains trade-offs to a sceptical engineer, writes clearly, and says "I will check" rather than guessing
- At ease in front of customers, in person and on calls, and able to run a technical session alone
More about this role
QuestDB is the low-latency time-series database on open formats. It ingests millions of events per second, computes on live data in milliseconds, and keeps years of history queryable: one SQL engine spanning messaging, stream processing and tiered storage, so teams can act on what is happening and learn from everything that happened.
The engine is written in low-latency Java (zero-GC), Rust, C++ and assembly: columnar storage, vectorized and JIT-compiled SQL, streaming materialized views, and an open lakehouse tier on Parquet and Iceberg. QuestDB Enterprise turns a single server into a fully distributed deployment with a multi-tiered lakehouse architecture, ready for mission-critical workloads on the critical path.
Our open-source repository has passed 17k GitHub stars and we're the fastest-growing database in our category. QuestDB runs in production at tier-1 banks, exchanges, trading firms, hedge funds, crypto platforms and energy operators across four continents, and is expanding into robotics, aerospace and Physical AI. We recently won Best Trading Analytics Platform at the TradingTech Summit Europe, the first non-legacy vendor to do so.
