Sigma Computing - Field CTO
Requirements
• Technical depth. 12+ years in business intelligence, analytics engineering, or data platform roles, with at least 5 in a customer-facing technical leadership role (SA, Field CTO, principal SE, or senior consulting). Deep expertise in at least one cloud data warehouse: Snowflake, Databricks, BigQuery, or Redshift, and working fluency across the rest. Strong SQL and a deep command of modern data architecture: warehousing, modeling, governance, security. • Technical depth. • Data engineering fluency. Hands-on experience with ETL and transformation tooling like dbt, Fivetran, Matillion, or comparable, and the judgment to architect across them. • Data engineering fluency. • Builder's depth. You write working code, not just diagrams. Comfortable in HTML, JavaScript, and Python, building custom apps, plugins, and AI workflows end to end, both inside the product and against the warehouse. • Builder's depth. • Security architecture. Deep command of enterprise security and identity patterns: PrivateLink, OAuth, SAML, SCIM, and the governance decisions that ride on them. You lead these conversations with a CISO, not defer them. • Security architecture. • AI fluency at the leading edge. Daily user of modern AI tools and a credible voice on agents, MCP, A2A, context engineering, retrieval, evals, and the major model providers. You position Sigma's AI stack against warehouse agents like Genie and Cortex Analyst, and against AI-native BI entrants, without hand-waving, and you set the team's point of view. • AI fluency at the leading edge. • Enterprise selling. Track record of leading and closing the most complex enterprise sales cycles or large BI implementations. You know how to partner with AEs, SAs, and SEs, and how to win the technical decision at the executive level. • Enterprise selling. • Executive presence. You hold a CTO and a data engineer in the same room without switching gears awkwardly. You lead the architecture review, the boardroom briefing, and the conference keynote, and you're the person customers call when the decision is theirs to make. • Executive presence. • Pace and energy. You operate well in a high-velocity environment. Self-starter. No hand-holding. • Pace and energy. • Team fit. You want a team that sharpens each other, and you make everyone around you better. You bring field intel back. You build the playbooks and own the next hire's ramp. Ego stays out of the room. • Team fit. • Education. Bachelor's degree in a technical field, or equivalent experience. • Education. • Travel. Willingness to travel up to 35%. • Travel. • Sigma is the AI Apps and agentic analytics platform built on the cloud data warehouse. Business and technical teams use Sigma to explore live data, build intelligent applications, and automate critical workflows all without moving data or breaking governance. Sigma supports a spreadsheet interface, SQL, Python, and native AI in a single governed workspace, giving every team the speed to act and IT the control to scale. Sigma is trusted by more than 2,000 customers, including AMD, Duolingo, Colgate-Palmolive, and JPMorgan Chase. • Sigma announced its $80M in Series E financing in May 2026. The round was led by Princeville Capital, with new strategic investors Databricks Ventures, ServiceNow Ventures, and Workday Ventures participating alongside returning investors Altimeter Capital, Avenir Growth Capital, D1 Capital Partners, K5 Global, NewView Capital, Spark Capital, Sutter Hill Ventures, and XN. This milestone follows Sigma reaching $200M in annual recurring revenue in April 2026, with more than 100% year-over-year growth and 1.1 million new active users added in the latest fiscal year.
Responsibilities
• Own the technical narrative across the territory's most strategic accounts, partnered with the SAs and SEs working those deals. • Lead executive-level architecture and AI strategy conversations with CTOs, CDOs, CISOs, and their senior technical teams. • Run deep technical discovery and architecture workshops, and step in to unblock the opportunities no one else can move. • Design and build production-grade prototypes and custom apps that prove out high-value use cases, including Sigma plugins, fully code-backed data apps, and AI-driven workflows using Sigma Assistant, Sigma agents, warehouse agents, and MCP integrations. You build in HTML, JavaScript, and Python, both natively in Sigma and as warehouse stored procedures. • Lead the hardest security architecture conversations: PrivateLink, OAuth, SAML, SCIM, and the governance model behind them. • Present Sigma's architecture and AI runtime story externally: analyst briefings, executive roundtables, conference stages, and CTO-to-CTO conversations. • Own the technical position on the hardest RFPs, RFIs, AI risk reviews, and security questionnaires. • Advise on integration, migration, governance, and AI patterns across Snowflake, Databricks, BigQuery, and Redshift. • Set Sigma's competitive position against Databricks AI/BI and Genie, Snowflake Cortex Analyst, Tableau, Power BI, Looker, and AI-native entrants. Defend it with architecture, not slogans, and turn it into reusable assets for the team. • Build the SA and SE playbook and the programs the field runs on: architecture patterns, AI-workflow playbooks, competitive teardowns, reference implementations, demo-build prompts, and a repeatable technical-win process. • Package domain expertise into reusable industry assets across verticals like financial services, insurance, and gaming, so a single deal's learnings compound across the territory. • Shape the product from the front line. Carry field intel directly to Product and Engineering leadership, write up customer patterns, secure early feature access, and influence the roadmap across the AI surface. • Mentor SAs and SEs. Raise the technical bar of the team and accelerate the next hire's ramp. • Run several strategic enterprise engagements at once across the territory. • Earn and maintain product, sales, and technology certifications. • Hit quarterly and annual targets set by your manager.
