Staff Industrial Developer Advocate (Energy & Manufacturing Focus)

At TigerData, formerly Timescale, we empower developers and businesses with the fastest PostgreSQL platform designed for transactional, analytical, and agentic workloads. Trusted globally by thousands of organizations, TigerData accelerates real-time insights, drives intelligent applications, and powers critical infrastructure at scale. As a globally distributed, remote-first team committed to direct communication, accountability, and collaborative excellence, we're shaping the future of data infrastructure, built for speed, flexibility, and simplicity.

TigerData 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, TigerData 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 TigerData 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.

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 TigerData serves industrial users today and tomorrow.

What you will be responsible for in this role

• Lead TigerData'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 TigerData's infrastructure into compelling industry-specific narratives: edge-to-cloud analytics, predictive maintenance, event processing, asset tracking, and more

• Represent TigerData 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 respond to every applicant.

• We review applications fairly and objectively, and shortlist based on relevant skills and experience.

• We ensure clear and timely communication throughout your candidate journey.

• We maintain a rigorous interview process with a high bar, designed to give you the opportunity to meet various team members you'll collaborate with across our organization.
