Don’t let the quirky name fool you! We’re on a mission to radically transform the data analyst user experience. We think we can empower and delight analysts using a novel cloud architecture built on top of DuckDB, an open source foundation with a vibrant community.

• Lead the sales pond: Own the entire sales cycle from initial outreach through to closing, ensuring our customers see the full potential of MotherDuck’s data analytics platform.
