About this role
About ArtieArtie is a fully-managed real-time data streaming platform that replicates production databases into data warehouses and lakes - in real time, with zero maintenance. We make high-volume data replication simple, reliable, and scalable for engineering teams.

Lead rigorous evaluations
Build structured POC plans

Translate deep technical concepts (e.g. log-based CDC, Kafka buffering) into ROI, TCO reduction, and platform reliability
Inspire our buyers with how Artie can unlock new opportunities for their company
