Why is this role important for us? 🔗
- We started as a data team ourselves, and we want to be the kind of partner that we would have liked to have ourselves! This principle guides all our values and business decisions. For example, we are open by default — built on open APIs, fully open architecture, publicly available documentation, no lock-ins, etc
- We fundamentally believe that the most important role of our sales and go-to-market team is to help customers solve problems and play the role of a trusted advisor. Sometimes this might mean turning customers away and even recommending other solutions. Even if we lose some revenue in the short term by doing so, we believe that doing right by the customer is always the right thing to do.
- Our GTM team has been growing rapidly to meet customer demand and we’re looking for talented Sales Engineers to help build and mature our sales engineering function.
- We're looking for someone who's passionate about solving problems, loves all things data, and is looking for a high-impact role in a fast-growth startup.

What We Do
Built by a data team for data teams, Atlan is the active metadata platform for the modern data stack. It stitches together metadata from various sources (Snowflake, dbt, Databricks, Looker, Tableau, Postgres, etc.) to create a unified data discovery, cataloging, lineage, and governance experience across all your data assets, from columns and queries to metrics and dashboards. Atlan facilitates a two-way movement of metadata, bringing context back into the tools and workflows that your data team uses every day — for example, in your BI tool when you wonder what a metric on the dashboard means.
A pioneer in the space, Atlan was named a Leader in Forrester Wave™️: Enterprise Data Catalogs for DataOps in 2022 and was recognized by Gartner seven times in 2021, including as a Cool Vendor in DataOps and in the inaugural Market Guide for Active Metadata Management. Today, we power pioneering data teams like WeWork, Plaid, Postman, Unilever, and Ralph Lauren. We recently raised a Series B, backed by top investors (including Insight Partners, Sequoia, and Salesforce Ventures) and founders & CEOs from the modern data stack (including Snowflake, Looker, and Stitch).
