Your technical storytelling skills allow you to effectively communicate complex concepts to both technical and non-technical audiences, making you a valuable asset in cross-functional teams. You are familiar with distributed systems and have a keen interest in real-time databases, which aligns with Aerospike's mission to deliver high-speed data solutions. Your experience with cloud platforms such as AWS or GCP enhances your ability to work in modern, scalable environments. You thrive in collaborative settings and are eager to contribute to a team that values innovation and technical excellence.

Desirable

You have a good understanding of performance metrics and can analyze system performance effectively — this knowledge helps you identify bottlenecks and optimize solutions.

You will collaborate closely with engineers and product managers to create customer-focused demos that highlight real-world applications of Aerospike's database technology. Your contributions will be crucial in shaping how the sales team communicates the value of Aerospike's solutions to potential clients.
