Talent Partner at Atlan - Building a dream Field Engineering team globally

Role: Sales Engineer - Central

Hello, we are Atlan!

Atlan is the home for data teams worldwide, simplifying collaboration for diverse users—business, product, analysts, and engineers. Think of us as Salesforce for sales or GitHub for engineers.

Built by Data Teams, for Data Teams

We started as a data team solving complex challenges in healthcare and poverty. After 200+ projects, we faced the chaos of scaling data teams, leading us to build tools to make our own team more agile. This enabled us to complete projects like India’s National Data Platform—three years ahead of schedule. Realizing our tools could help others, Atlan was born to empower data teams globally.

We’ve onboarded customers like HubSpot, Dropbox, and Nasdaq, expanded across 10+ countries, and is the leader in The Forrester Wave for Enterprise Data Catalogs.

Backed by top investors, including Insight Partners, Salesforce Ventures, and Sequoia, we’re just getting started.

• You will be the trusted advisor for data teams on their journey to building a modern data platform.
• You'll do whatever it takes to arm customers with all the information they need to make a decision about bringing on Atlan as a part of their daily workflows.
