About Tigris

Tigris is reshaping the future of object storage beyond $BigCloud. With no egress fees and globally consistent low-latency access, our service helps developers move fast and scale easily, especially in AI/ML, data infra, and multicloud environments.

This role

We're hiring a Solutions Engineer based in the Bay Area to represent Tigris in person—at events and in the broader developer and data communities. This role is all about building relationships: you'll meet engineers, understand their architecture and pain points, and help them see how Tigris fits into their stack.

What we're doing now

We're investing in community and in-person engagement to better support developers building real-world systems. We're already seeing strong interest in Tigris from AI, ML, and data engineering teams—especially those working across cloud boundaries. Now we're ready to meet them where they are: at meetups, at conferences, and out in the world.

What you'll do

• Attend and organize Bay Area events, meetups, and small developer gatherings
• Build relationships with the Data + AI community
• Identify customer needs and provide architecture guidance using Tigris
• Deliver in-person meetup talks, demos, and MC events
• Collect product feedback from the field and share it with engineering and product teams
• Support early customer trials and help teams go from proof-of-concept to production
• Represent Tigris in-person at conferences, hackathons, and partner events

You'll know you're succeeding if

• You've helped developers choose Tigris by showing them how it fits their architecture
• You're regularly invited to speak, present, or advise by developer groups in the Bay Area
• Early customers cite you as instrumental in their success with Tigris
• The product team acts on your field feedback to improve key workflows
• You've built a local community of developers who trust and support each other—and Tigris

This job might be for you if

• You're an engineer who enjoys talking to other engineers and solving architecture problems
• You've worked with cloud-native apps, storage systems, or distributed infrastructure, and you're excited about AI and AI infrastructure
• You love showing up to events, learning what people are building, and finding ways to help
• You're comfortable giving demos and whiteboarding technical concepts live
• You're proactive, personable, and excited to build community from the ground up
• You're based in the Bay Area and available for regular in-person engagements

• A short note on how you'd go about growing Tigris's presence in the Bay Area developer community
• A subject line that includes “Solutions Engineer”

From there, it's chatting with the team and seeing if it's a mutual fit. You're interviewing us as much as we're interviewing you.
