* live in customer slack channels, helping to solve problems and architect solutions
* say no when we're not the right fit and always have a growth mindset
* work closely with engineering to drive product roadmap for customers
* update documentation whenever you see an issue or something isn’t clear

**must have:**

* **commercial** - you sell painkillers, not vitamins
* **data background** - you love looking at explain plans and optimizing schemas
* **linux** - you're comfortable in terminals and reading logs
* **python or javascript/typescript** - for building solutions and demos
* **typist** - you can write well and can explain complex ideas simply
* **human** - you build trust and know when you're in over your head

**nice to have:**

* vector search or full-text search background
* k8s and cloud platform experience
* performance benchmarking experience

**tpuf is hardcore & whimsical. we value:**

* overstep > understep
* show > tell
* complexity is earned
* showing up as part of our customer’s team
* making stuff easy to react to
