Together, our hard-working team of experts and our industry-leading technology are uniquely positioned to meet the demands of modern workloads: geo-distributed, ultra-resilient, and built to scale without limits.

About Yugabyte and Meko
Yugabyte is the company behind YugabyteDB, the open source, distributed SQL database for mission-critical, cloud-native applications, trusted by global enterprises in financial services, e-commerce, betting and gaming, and telecommunications. Building on that foundation, Yugabyte has launched Meko, a new AI Data Layer purpose-built for agents, it provides Agents with a shared, persistent memory and knowledge layer, improving context, reducing repeated work, and saving token burn.
As a Series C company entering the next stage of hypergrowth, Yugabyte is investing heavily in Meko as a core pillar of its go-to-market expansion into the AI agent ecosystem.
Role Overview
As a Product Sales Specialist for Meko, you will be the subject matter expert who drives adoption and monetisation of Meko across enterprise accounts. You will partner closely with Account Executives and Forward Deployment Engineers to identify agent-related use cases, build the business case for Meko, and progress the technical and commercial sales cycles from first conversation to close. This is a specialist overlay role: you bring deep AI/agent fluency to deals that Account Executives are already running, and you help shape how customers leverage Meko into their agent stacks.
The ideal candidate is equally comfortable in a whiteboard conversation about agent memory architecture and in a boardroom conversation about the business impact and ROI of AI. The individual will actively contribute to sales enablement and GTM strategy as Meko scales.
Key Responsibilities
Act as the subject matter expert (SME) for Meko, building and maintaining relationships with technical and executive stakeholders and shaping how customers think about context and memory for their AI agents.
Partner with Account Executives, Forward Deployment Engineers to identify specific agent use cases where Meko solves a customer's context, memory, or reliability challenges, and articulate what differentiates Meko from alternative approaches.
Support the development and progression of Meko-specific sales opportunities across your assigned territory
Demonstrate measurable business impact of Meko to enterprise stakeholders, translating technical capabilities such as shared context, agent memory, and data consistency into business outcomes.
Collaborate cross-functionally with Marketing, Product, Account Executives, and Engineering to ensure Meko messaging, positioning, and roadmap reflect real customer and market feedback.
Build and nurture relationships with customer contacts working on AI agent initiatives, positioning Meko as the preferred AI Data Layer for agentic applications.
Skills & Experience Required
Working knowledge of AI agent architectures, LLMs, and the emerging role of memory and context layers in agentic applications.
Experience working with Field Sales, Customer Engineers, and cross-functional customer focussed teams.
Ability to communicate value-based messaging that resonates with both technical stakeholders (architects, engineers) and business stakeholders (executives, product leaders).
Comfort using data and analytics to track performance, forecast accurately, and optimize sales effort.
We work in a hybrid model, with the team together in our Sunnyvale office 2–3 days per week.
We feel strongly about equal pay for equal work, and transparency in compensation is one way to help achieve that. The cash compensation for this role is market competitive, with a range of $215,000-$260,000, inclusive of variable/incentive for some roles. As well as equity (when applicable), and benefits including health plans, retirement plans, and unlimited paid time off (PTO). The pay range for this position is a general guideline only and not a guarantee of compensation or salary. The actual pay will vary based on factors including experience, qualifications, and skill level.
Due to the Proclamation, “Restriction on Entry of Certain Nonimmigrant Workers”, which went into effect on September 21, 2025, at this time we are no longer able to sponsor new H-1B visa petitions filed after September 21, 2025 for new hires. We are still able to consider candidates who require H-1B extensions, changes of employer, or other types of work authorization.

About the Role
We are looking for a hands-on, detail-driven accounting leader to own the core accounting close and reporting engine as we scale. Reporting to the Corporate Controller, you will lead the month-end and quarter-end close, drive US GAAP compliance and consolidations across our international entities, and be a central force in preparing the organization for its first external audit. This role blends day-to-day ownership of the numbers with the leadership to build repeatable processes, mentor a growing team, and serve as the face of Corporate Accounting to the broader company.
This is a high-ownership role for someone who wants total visibility into our financial operations and the opportunity to shape the accounting function as the business grows.
What You’ll Do
Team & Company Leadership: Manage, mentor and scale a high-performing team across GL Accounting and Operations. Establish yourself as the face of Corporate Accounting and a first point of contact for cross-functional requests.
Financial Close & Reporting: Own the month-end and quarter-end close process, including the schedule, check-ins, and flux analysis. Be a driving force toward a full monthly close, completing the first review of flux and maintaining a thorough understanding of account balances and activity.
General Ledger & Reconciliations: Prepare and review general ledger entries, account reconciliations, and fluctuation analyses across areas including prepaid, accruals, and fixed assets.
Consolidations & GAAP Reporting: Own consolidations and the review of the international reporting package, ensure US GAAP compliance, and prepare reporting packages for executive leadership.

Accounts Payable: Oversee the accounts payable function, ensuring vendor payments, expense processing, and related controls are accurate, timely, and compliant.
Treasury & Cash Management: Manage end-to-end cash processes including cash forecasting, payment initiation and approval, and overall treasury management. Own banking relationships and support the consolidation of the company’s banking footprint.
Tax & Statutory Compliance: Own and manage tax and statutory compliance requirements across jurisdictions.
Audit & Audit Readiness: Serve as a key driver in establishing audit-readiness for our first audit. Own the day-to-day interface with auditors, ensure deliverables are produced and reviewed on time, keep fieldwork on track, and maintain and manage the PBC list.
Policy & Process Documentation: Ensure accounting process and policy documentation is complete, accurate, and consistently applied. Where needed, partner with the Controller and technical accounting resources to document and operationalize technical accounting positions.
Process Improvement & Automation: Lead accounting projects aimed at process improvement, system implementation, and workflow automation. Identify inefficiencies and implement scalable, automated solutions as the business grows.
What You Bring
Experience: 8+ years of progressive accounting experience, with at least 2–3 years in a management role. A blend of public accounting and industry experience is preferred, ideally within a high-growth technology or SaaS company.
Technical Expertise: Strong command of US GAAP, financial close, consolidations, and international/multi-entity reporting. Prior experience supporting or leading an external audit is strongly preferred.
Systems & Tools: Hands-on NetSuite system management experience, banking portal management and advanced Excel skills. Comfort improving and operationalizing accounting processes and systems.
Leadership & Initiative: Proven ability to build and mentor a high-performing team, take ownership of ambiguous problems, and drive projects to completion with limited supervision.
Communication: Strong analytical skills and the ability to distill complex accounting matters into clear, actionable information for leadership and cross-functional partners.
Education: Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field. CPA strongly preferred.
Why Join Us?
Impact: You will own the accounting close and reporting engine and directly shape audit-readiness for a fast-growing company.

Growth: A career-defining opportunity to build the processes, systems, and team that scale the accounting function.

About Yugabyte
Reimagining PostgreSQL for a Cloud-Native World — that’s the mission of Yugabyte. YugabyteDB is a PostgreSQL-compatible distributed database purpose-built for modern, cloud-native applications. It’s designed from the ground up to be resilient, scalable, and flexible. As large enterprises modernize and born-in-the-cloud companies build disruptive solutions, many turn to PostgreSQL as their database of choice—and YugabyteDB quickly becomes their preferred distributed Postgres of choice. There’s nothing more rewarding than hearing a customer say they experienced an availability zone or region outage, yet their database stayed fully available with YugabyteDB.

As a Senior Principal Solutions Engineer at Yugabyte, you’ll act as a trusted advisor to prospects and customers by demonstrating how YugabyteDB can solve complex distributed data problems in real-world applications.

Serve as a trusted technical advisor on distributed databases, cloud-native architectures, and application design best practices.
Create and maintain technical collateral (presentations, whitepapers, demo scripts, etc.) to support the sales process.
Act as the voice of the customer by providing feedback to product, engineering, and support teams.
Represent Yugabyte at industry events, webinars, and technical meetups.
Qualifications
15+ years of experience in a customer-facing technical role (Sales Engineer, Solutions Architect, etc.) in enterprise software or infrastructure.
Strong understanding of databases (SQL, NoSQL), cloud infrastructure (AWS, GCP, Azure), and containerization (Kubernetes, Docker).
Experience with distributed systems, data replication, and high-availability architectures.
Excellent communication and presentation skills, with the ability to simplify complex technical topics.
Passion for helping customers succeed and a track record of owning technical sales wins.
Hands-on experience with YugabyteDB or similar distributed SQL or SQL technologies (AuroraDB, Google Spanner, Azure Cosmos DB etc.).
Familiarity with modern application stacks (Spring Boot, Node.js, Golang, GraphQL).
Experience in selling or supporting open-source software.
We feel strongly about equal pay for equal work, and transparency in compensation is one way to help achieve that. The cash compensation for this role is market competitive, with a range of $200,000-$250,000, inclusive of variable/incentive for some roles.

Yugabyte is the company behind YugabyteDB, the AI-ready, multi-modal, distributed PostgreSQL database for cloud-native apps. Trusted by industry leaders including Shopify, Paramount+, GM, Kroger, Fiserv, and NPCI, YugabyteDB has been deployed in over 100 countries and powers more than 5 million clusters worldwide.
Together, our hard-working team of experts and our industry-leading technology are uniquely positioned to meet the demands of modern workloads: geo-distributed, ultra-resilient, and built to scale without limits.
Our Yugabeings (distributed, like our database) span 12+ countries and multiple time zones, sharing expertise from diverse backgrounds and industries.
Technical Support Engineer
Remote (Americas)
At Yugabyte, we are on a mission to become the default transactional database for enterprises building cloud-native applications. YugabyteDB is our PostgreSQL-compatible distributed SQL database — resilient, scalable, and built to run anywhere. We're not just building software; we're watching major enterprises throw out Oracle and build something better, and the people who help them get there are the ones sitting in this team.
About This Role
We're looking for someone who gets genuinely excited when a customer's database is on fire, because they are eager to dive in and help.
This isn't a "ticket-monkey" role. You won't be copy-pasting canned responses into a queue. You'll be working live cases — distributed systems behaving unexpectedly, replication lag climbing, certificates expiring in production — alongside a global team that actually cares about getting to the root of things. You'll learn YugabyteDB, cloud infrastructure, and distributed systems the way everyone learns them best: by necessity, with great people around you.
What You'll Do
Triage and own technical support tickets from enterprise customers, collaborating with a global team across time zones
Investigate incidents methodically — reading logs, running queries, tracing replication issues — and surface the root cause, not just the fix
Write clear internal notes and handover documentation so the next engineer can pick up exactly where you left off (this is not optional; notes are the job)
Attempt repros of customer issues and document the steps for others to replicate
Escalate to engineering when warranted, with enough evidence that they can act immediately
Contribute to the team's shared knowledge base and improve how we handle problems we've seen before
Be the calm, professional voice a customer hears when their weekend just got complicated
What We're Looking For
You are the right person if:
You jump in. When something unfamiliar comes across the queue and no one's claimed it, your instinct is to click it and start reading, not to wait.
You embrace not knowing the answer yet, and you see that as the start of something, not a reason to hold back.
You aren't afraid to reach out for help when you're stuck. You know it's a sign that you are learning. And when others are stuck, you are happy to help them
You have a technical background in any discipline — software, systems, automotive, aerospace, networking, electronics, whatever. If you have solved real problems under real pressure with tools and documentation, that counts.
You have familiarity with Linux tools -- you have used the tools find and grep to navigate a filesystem
Note taking is how you gain context. You write down what you found, what you tried, and what you plan to do next, every time. It builds confidence for both you and the customer
You may also have:
Experience with any relational database — even if it's just writing queries
Experience on a support team for a large software product
Why This Team
Our support engineers don't just resolve tickets — we are incident commanders. We run incident channels, hold calls with customer teams and stakeholders, write CEs (customer escalations) that go directly to our database engineering team, and sometimes catch product bugs before engineering does.
Our support engineers:
Are curious, what others view as problems, we view as opportunities to learn something new
Work with highly technical issues that require precise mitigation
Dig into source code themselves when they need to understand why a validation is failing
Know that some issues need overnight support, so we prepare the offshore teams appropriately
That's the culture you'd be joining. People who take ownership, communicate clearly, and stay curious.
Schedule and Compensation
Shift: Monday-Friday
Location: Remote, Americas (Preference for Central Time)
Compensation: Competitive, commensurate with experience
Pay Range: $90,000 – $120,000 USD annually, depending on skills and experience.

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability
Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 07/31/2029
Why are you being asked to complete this form?
We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.
Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
