Senior Partner Sales Engineer

Most companies are racing to deploy AI, but very few have the foundation to make it work reliably. Atlan is building that missing layer: the context layer for enterprise AI. We connect the business context behind data so humans and agents can operate with far more accuracy and confidence.

With backing from world-class investors including GIC, Insight Partners, Meritech, Peak XV, and Salesforce Ventures, we've earned the trust of most AI-forward enterprises like General Motors, Nasdaq, Workday and Elastic.

Come build the infrastructure that AI runs on.

AI budgets are exploding. But most enterprises still can't get AI into trusted production — because they lack AI-ready data, context, and governance.

Atlan is the context layer and control plane for data & AI. Partners — Snowflake, Databricks, hyperscalers, and leading SIs — are our biggest force multiplier in making that real. This role exists to own that technical motion.

Evangelise the context layer Be the go-to technical voice for partners on how Atlan powers AI-ready data and enterprise governance on Snowflake, Databricks, and modern data stacks.

Build joint solutions Co-design repeatable reference architectures and demos (e.g., AI-ready data on Snowflake + Atlan, AI governance on Databricks + Atlan). Work hands-on with REST APIs, SQL, dbt, and partner-native AI services like Cortex.

Enable partner technical teams Design and deliver onboarding, training, and certifications so partner SEs can position, demo, and validate Atlan — without us in the room.

Drive opportunity creation Run partner-facing demos, discovery sessions, and POV workshops tied to high-priority AI initiatives: AI copilots, talk-to-data, AI governance.

Feed back into product Bring partner and field insights into roadmap conversations, and help prioritise integrations that cement Atlan as the default governance layer across our ecosystem.

• 7+ years in Sales Engineering or Solutions Architecture, with meaningful partner or ecosystem experience (cloud, ISV, or SI)

• Hands-on with the modern data stack (Snowflake, Databricks, BigQuery/Redshift, dbt, BI) and how it's evolving for AI and LLM use cases

• Fluent in concepts like RAG, semantic layers, active metadata, AI governance, and context layers — and able to connect them to business outcomes

• Comfortable with SQL, Python, and REST APIs to build integrations, POCs, and solution patterns

• Proven in complex, multi-stakeholder enterprise sales cycles alongside cloud providers and/or SIs

• AI-native by habit — you use AI to build, automate, and scale, not just to draft emails. You'll be asked to show us something you've built.

You're not just a solid SE who uses AI tools. You have a builder's itch — you get frustrated with repetitive tasks and proactively build automations or agents to eliminate them. You think in systems: "How do we enable 50 partner SEs to do this without us?" rather than "How do I win this deal?"
