Are you fascinated by the Internet of Things (IoT), real-time analytics, and the systems that keep factories, vehicles, energy grids and software infrastructure running? Are you a recent graduate who loves to code, learns fast, and wants to work at the intersection of engineering and customers? InfluxData is looking for an Associate Sales Engineer to join our EMEA team — someone with a love of technology and a passion for helping customers discover what's possible.
