Senior Solutions Engineer - Post Sales

Census is a unified data platform built on your cloud data warehouse. With Census, data teams at companies like Canva, Figma, and Rippling can sync data across 200+ business apps using our Reverse ETL. Ultimately we empower every company to build better workflow automation.

Backed by a16z , Sequoia, Tiger Global & Insight; we're a hybrid team headquartered in San Francisco that loves taking annoying problems most people avoid and building elegant solutions for them. We believe that data should be used for more than just making charts. This is why we invented integrations that work directly from cloud data warehouses.

We're looking for the newest member of our Solutions Engineering team. You'll be a vital bridge between the front lines (working directly with prospects and clients) and the sales, product, and engineering teams, collaborating to relay critical feedback that shapes our product roadmap. You’ll provide technical guidance, solution design, and thought leadership to help companies maximize their data warehouse investments - ensuring the highest quality data is delivered to the right places, at the right time and cadence.

You will also be an educator and architect alongside our Sales team. From demos to workshops, playbooks, and sales enablement, you will teach organizations about Census’s value.

Join a team that’s not just hardworking and curious but also close-knit and supportive. We tackle big challenges together and always have each other’s backs. We love sharing what we learn - both within the team and with the broader community. And when we’re not solving problems, teaching, or empowering others, you’ll find us chatting about ways to improve the product, swapping ideas about our favorite shows, or trading recommendations for the latest must-hear podcasts. We may be small, but we’re a mighty team that’s all about collaboration and connection!
