For more than a decade, Cockroach Labs has built database technology trusted to power some of the world's most mission-critical applications. Now, as AI transforms how software is created and operated, the infrastructure behind it has to keep pace. Cockroach Continuum is built to meet this moment, bringing individual databases together into one fleet designed for agentic applications, where AI agents help teams provision, scale, and optimize workloads at machine speed.
The customers you’ll work with are some of the most innovative businesses in the world, and the problems they’re trying to solve are real and urgent. You’ll bring a genuinely differentiated product to a market moving fast, at a company positioned to lead it. The people who thrive here are the ones who want to own that opportunity.
The Global Partnerships org is building an ecosystem motion that genuinely multiplies CockroachDB's market reach — and the results are already showing. In the past year alone, the team launched the ISV Technology Partner Program, shipped live integrations with LangChain, Anthropic Claude Code, Confluent, and Datadog, deepened a global IBM OEM relationship that reaches regulated enterprise accounts no direct sales team can access alone, and launched the CockroachDB Integrations Hub. Our AWS Strategic Collaboration Agreement is evolving into a systematic AI ISV acquisition engine, with early traction from AI-native companies.
As Principal Solutions Architect for the Americas partner team, you'll be the technical authority across our Cloud, ISV, OEM, and GSI partner motions in the Americas — combining deep technical credibility with proactive strategic leadership. You'll own your domain end-to-end: identifying integration opportunities before they're requested, building and certifying assets, shaping GTM narratives, enabling partners, and driving real pipeline influence. This is a builder role — you set the agenda.
In your first 30 days, you will learn about CockroachDB and become proficient in the product and our AI-native tooling stack. You will onboard the Americas partner landscape, meet key BDs and partners, and understand the active pipeline and strategic priorities for the region.
By the end of your first 90 days, you will have effectively onboarded onto Americas regional coverage, shipped 1+ reusable technical assets (repo, validated architecture, or demo), integrated AI tools into your daily workflow, and received positive BD feedback on your technical leadership in partner conversations. You should have your first ecosystem integration contribution scoped or in progress, and be operating with structured autonomy — owning your priorities, coming with plans, and shipping weekly.
Cockroach Labs is proud to be an Equal Opportunity Employer building a diverse and inclusive workforce. If you need additional accommodations to feel comfortable during your interview process, please email us at accessibility@cockroachlabs.com.
Cockroach Labs has a hybrid work model, with Roachers that are local to one of our offices coming in on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays and working flexibly the rest of the week. While we’ve learned valuable lessons working remotely, nothing can replace the connection, creativity, and fun that occurs when Roachers get together and we are committed to fostering a workplace that encourages collaboration and allows us all to do our best work.
