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.
Our Sales Engineering Managers will play a crucial role in ensuring quality in technical sales execution. Developing a team of Sales Engineers, creating a healthy regional sales team and providing feedback for Product, Marketing and Education teams are the ways in which quality can be achieved. You will be a trusted technical advisor for your Regional Sales Director and a coach and enabler for your team of Sales Engineers and a purveyor of the customer’s voice with the other departments that support Sales. This is a remote role but you must be based in Singapore to be eligible.
Our expectation is that it takes around one quarter for a Sales Engineering Manager to be functional and two quarters to be fully ramped - therefore, your first ninety days at Cockroach Labs will be focused on learning the product, understanding the needs of our customers, learning our sale methodology and stepping into an active role in the sales and technical win processes, forecasting, operational reporting and meeting with cross-department teams . In your first 30 days, you will immerse yourself in CockroachDB value proposition and our sales methodology. We believe that it's important for you to take this first month to become familiar with our company, people, technology and message. By the end of your first 30 days, you will be ready to deliver a 30 minute pitch and demo to an audience of your peers.
During this time you will also be an active listener on customer calls and build relationships with various teams at Cockroach Labs. As you gain confidence in the message and technology, you will be called upon to review customer conversations, assist with the technical sales strategy and help build out your regional Sales and Sales Engineering team.
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.
