The Role:
As a Solutions Engineer, you’ll play a crucial role in supporting Oracle Database by providing technical expertise and support to Redgate’s partners, customers, and sales teams. You’ll demonstrate how our products can solve specific customer problems related to Oracle Database and generate referenceable accounts and positive brand awareness.

Achieving work-life balance has never been more important and so Redgate has adopted a flexible-hybrid model. For this role, we’re looking for candidates who live close to our Austin, TX office.
