turbopuffer needs someone who can close deals with engineers. Our customers are technical teams already building in a fast market. Your job is help our customers win.

we’re open to two types of people:

- answer questions honestly, say no when it’s not a fit
- navigate and improve internal systems

must have:

- technical – you can read API docs without crying
- systematic – you track your pipeline and follow through
- human – you don’t lie to customers
- urgent – you move quick because our customers do




- independent – you get things done without being explicitly told
- typist - you can write well and can explain complex ideas simply
- scientist - be open to experimentation and learn from your failures

nice to have:

- you’ve sold to developers before and know why they hate salespeople
- experience with databases, search, or infra software
- experience with GTM automation tools like Clay, n8n etc.

- comfort with python/javascript, linux, or cloud platforms

values we live by:

- overstep > understep
- correctness > simplicity > performance
- customer traces > first principles > hunches
- show > tell
