Overview
Job Summary: MariaDB has matured into a database that is clearly distinct from MySQL, with its own value proposition, feature set, strengths, and use cases. At Percona, we see a meaningful opportunity to both strengthen the MariaDB ecosystem and build a successful business by delivering fully open-source, BSL-free solutions designed for mission-critical MariaDB deployments. It’s time for Percona for MariaDB!
What You Will Do
* Own and grow Percona’s MariaDB database business. You’ll drive innovation, amplify Percona’s voice as a thought leader in the space, and scale adoption of our open-source software across community and enterprise users, all while building a profitable, high-impact business. This role reports directly to the CEO.
* You’re a business-savvy technologist who lives and breathes databases and open source. You get how modern developers think, and you know the real-world pain of running databases at scale. Experience with MariaDB-compatible databases is a strong plus.
* You’re a self-starter with an entrepreneurial mindset who practices extreme ownership. You don’t wait for direction, you make things happen, find solutions, and never make excuses.
* You’re comfortable owning big goals, budgets, and outcomes. You know how to build bridges across teams, align stakeholders, and get things done inside a larger organization without losing speed or focus.
* You’ll lead a small but mighty team that scales with the business. Together, you’ll deliver customer success through 24/7 support, managed services, and professional services, while also contributing to open source and building Percona-maintained software to create an outstanding customer experience. Your team will drive thought leadership, technical marketing, and partnerships with other open-source projects and companies shaping the MariaDB ecosystem.
* You’ll partner closely with Percona’s Sales and Customer Success teams to uncover every MariaDB opportunity, driving new business, renewals, and expansions while ensuring no potential customer is left behind.
