Field Marketing Manager
$125k - $175k USD
About Espresso AI
Espresso AI’s mission is to use machine learning to automate performance engineering. Today, we help our customers reduce Snowflake and Databricks SQL compute costs by up to 70%, unlocking massive efficiency gains without requiring any workflow changes.
More and more businesses are adopting data warehouses to manage invaluable data analytics workloads. Unfortunately, the costs of these workloads often grow exponentially over time, with no easy way for users to reduce cost — until now. Our next-generation, AI-based approach saves our users huge amounts of money.
We’re a well-funded, early-stage startup scaling quickly. Our most recent round was led by Nat Friedman and Daniel Gross.
