Federal Sales Leader GTM Builder

Founded in Germany and now headquartered in San Francisco, at ArangoDB we're on a mission to make working with complex data simple, powerful, and AI-ready. Based in California and in Cologne (with a global team), we're building a cutting-edge data platform that helps organizations bring all their data together graph, document, key / value, full-text, and vector search in one engine.

Why does that matter? Because it means developers and data teams can build next-gen AI applications like RAG, knowledge graphs, and smart agents without gluing together a bunch of tools that were never meant to work together. Our platform makes it easy to work with any kind of data-structured, semi-structured, or unstructured, and it gives teams everything they need to build faster, smarter, and with way more context. From our easy-to-learn AQL query language to modern integration tools, we're here to help teams grow and scale with AI.

Sounds exciting? We think so too. Come join us and help shape the future of data.

All candidates in the US will be considered.
