About Astronomer
Astronomer's sellers carry Astro, the managed way to run Apache Airflow pipelines (or Astro Private Cloud inside the customer's own environment), to the data engineering and platform teams of companies with more than 1,000 employees. Six of the nine sales openings are enterprise account executive seats framed as new-logo hunting with some expansion of existing customers, cut by region (Northeast, Central US, California, London, DACH) plus one vertical team for financial services working out of New York and Boston. Two sales engineers run discovery, demos, proofs of concept and architecture sessions beside the AEs, one in New York and one in London who also covers France, and a single SDR in New York books first meetings with a stated path into the AE seat. The AE postings ask for five or more years of quota-carrying sales and at least two years of in-person field selling, and the DACH seat adds MEDDIC or Command of the Message. Two thirds of the openings are in the US (New York, Boston, Chicago and the Bay Area); the other three are in London and Germany.

Job seekers never pay to use this board. An Apply button opens the employer's own application page, or the page of the recruiting firm filling the seat; only where a company or its recruiting firm pays us for a hire who came from here does that link carry our referral code, and the fee comes from them, never out of the base or OTE the role offers you.
