About the role
About QuestDB
QuestDB is the open-source time-series database for demanding workloads - from trading floors to mission control. It delivers ultra-low latency, high ingestion throughput, and a multi-tier storage engine. Native support for Parquet and SQL keeps your data portable, AI-ready, with no vendor lock-in.
Our open-source repository has gathered 17k+ GitHub stars and we're the fastest-growing database in our category. QuestDB is used in production by Tier 1 banks, crypto leaders, trading firms, aerospace/defense firms and a broader pool of Fortune 500 companies. We recently won Best Trading Analytics Platform at the TradingTech Summit Europe - the first non-legacy vendor to do so.
The Role
We're hiring our first Head of Growth to own the top of the funnel end-to-end: from open-source adoption and developer community, through pipeline generation for our enterprise sales motion, to our presence at the industry events where our buyers actually live.
This is a builder role, not a manager-of-managers. You'll partner directly with the CEO, the founding team, our sales leads in EMEA and the US, and our developer relations lead to turn QuestDB's product-market fit into repeatable, compounding pipeline.
What You'll Own
- Open-source growth. GitHub stars, Docker pulls, Slack community, documentation engagement, conversion from OSS user to commercial conversation. You'll treat the OSS funnel as a product and instrument it accordingly.
- Pipeline generation. Own the top-of-funnel number alongside our sales leads. Build and scale inbound, outbound, and ABM motions against our core ICP: capital markets (banks, hedge funds, market makers, exchanges), crypto, and energy firms - with increasing fit in defense/aerospace and robotics. We need qualified meetings with quant engineers, heads of trading tech, data platform leads, and CTOs.
