Astronomer is seeking a Sales Engineer to join their globally-distributed team, focusing on their Astro platform powered by Apache Airflow. This role combines technical expertise with customer-facing responsibilities, requiring 2+ years of experience in sales engineering or similar roles within the data space. The position offers a competitive salary range of $200,000 - $265,000 plus equity.

As a Sales Engineer, you'll be instrumental in helping clients deploy powerful data workflows and accelerate their business outcomes.
