Curriculum Developer (Remote)
Starburst is on a mission to modernize data access & analytics. Our company was founded in an unusual way; with customers and revenue from the beginning! Our growth is already ahead of some of the most successful software start-ups, and we don’t plan on slowing down.
We believe our opportunity is huge. Every large company in the world suffers from a data silo problem. Traditional data warehouse products approach the problem with old solutions that breed inefficiency and ultimately can’t help business analysts run fast analytics on all their data.
Starburst provides a modern solution that addresses these data silo & speed of access problems. Starburst helps enterprises harness the value of open source Trino (formerly PrestoSQL), the fastest distributed query engine available today, by adding the tools and 24x7 support that meet the needs for big data access at scale. Ultimately, Starburst helps organizations run analytics anywhere to make better business decisions.
Starburst Data is building a customer enablement offering for the 21st century, focusing on online, self-paced, modular, hands-on activities. As a curriculum developer, you will be the primary driver of new content creation, collaborating closely with the subject matter experts at Starburst. You do not need to be an expert on Trino or Starburst – we have plenty of those! What you’ll bring to the table is your deep expertise in creating educational materials for a variety of audiences and with different degrees of technical depth.
