At Timescale, we empower businesses with real-time insights from their data, allowing them to make faster decisions and optimize operations. We are creating a movement to unblock developers who are building the future. Timescale is a product-led growth organization driven by transparent leaders and a globally diverse, remote-first team that is proudly building a modern PostgreSQL cloud platform.

Timescale is the cloud-native PostgreSQL platform powering modern industrial applications—real-time, time-series, and AI—at the edge, in the cloud, and everywhere in between. Built on Postgres, optimized for scale and performance, and trusted by thousands of teams globally, Timescale helps developers build the next generation of industrial systems.

Our fastest-growing segment? Industrial: energy, manufacturing, and systems engineering. These developers and architects are modernizing SCADA, integrating fleets, enabling predictive maintenance, and making data central to operations. They deserve a partner who understands their needs and speaks their language.

The Role

We’re hiring a Staff Industrial Developer Advocate to serve as the face of Timescale to the industrial developer ecosystem, with a strong focus on energy and manufacturing sectors.

You will combine deep technical understanding with domain fluency and public presence. You’ll lead content and community engagement, build joint initiatives with partners, and serve as a trusted guide for developers, integrators, and architects building real-world industrial systems.

Role

This is a strategic, public-facing, and partnership-heavy role. You’ll work closely with system integrators (SIs), cloud hyperscalers, and industrial tech partners to:

• Co-write blogs, guides, and reference architectures
• Co-host webinars, events, and customer stories
• Build solution narratives that connect infrastructure to industrial transformation
  
  

You’ll also bring field insight back into product and engineering—shaping how Timescale serves industrial users today and tomorrow.

What You Will Be Responsible For In This Role

• Lead Timescale’s voice and presence in the industrial developer community (esp. energy and manufacturing verticals)
• Engage deeply with ecosystem partners (SIs, hyperscalers, industrial platforms) to:
• Co-author technical content
• Co-host webinars, roundtables, and joint events
• Build and scale reference implementations and GTM plays
• Translate Timescale’s infrastructure into compelling industry-specific narratives: edge-to-cloud analytics, predictive maintenance, event processing, asset tracking, and more
• Represent Timescale at industry and developer events, panels, webinars, and conferences
• Serve as a high-touch advisor to key customers, champions, and stakeholders in the industrial space
• Work with Product and Engineering to bring customer use cases and technical feedback directly into our roadmap
• Produce technical content and demos tailored for industrial practitioners (engineers, architects, integrators)
• Be a visible, credible, and trusted thought leader in the industrial tech ecosystem
  

About You

• You have deep experience in the industrial ecosystem—whether in energy, manufacturing, automation, or systems integration
• You’ve worked directly with or inside SIs, OEMs, industrial cloud platforms, or technology vendors
• You understand how to navigate and collaborate with partners, from hyperscalers to boutique integrators
• You’re a compelling communicator: you can write, speak, and lead technical and business conversations
• You’re equally comfortable building demos, writing a whitepaper, or co-hosting a field event with a partner
• You can translate deep infra capabilities (Postgres, time-series, edge analytics) into business value in industrial settings
• You enjoy shaping strategy—but you also build, write, and show up
• You have a strong network—or the credibility to build one quickly—in the industrial tech world
  
  

You could be a great fit if you have

• Experience with TimescaleDB, PostgreSQL, or modern time-series databases
• Familiarity with platforms like AWS IoT, Azure IoT, OSIsoft/PI, PTC ThingWorx, Siemens, or Rockwell
• Prior role in partner engineering, or technical solutions or product management in an infrastructure company
• Need to know the data infrastructure space and how that applies to Industrial
  
  

You might not be a great fit if

• You aren't comfortable with a fast-paced, dynamic environment where priorities can shift quickly.
• You prefer a highly structured role with clearly defined tasks and responsibilities.
• You're risk-averse and prefer stability over the potential for high growth
  
  

Our Commitment

• We will respond to all applicants
• We strive to review all applications fairly, without bias, and shortlist based on relevant skills and experience.
• All active candidates will be informed of what is happening next in the process.
