The Role

At QuestDB, we’re building the fastest open-source time-series database — engineered for real-time data, loved by developers, and battle-tested in production. We’ve got product-market fit and a thriving community. We need someone to focus on growing developer-led open source adoption and increase the reach of QuestDB across developer communities.

You’ll work closely with the CEO, product, and engineering teams to build systems that drive product discoverability, contribute to long-term growth, and deepen QuestDB’s presence in developer conversations.
