By owning the entire market data stack end-to-end, Databento is the first platform of its kind to combine the performance and reliability demanded by the world's leading trading firms with a dramatically simpler developer experience. Our team includes alumni of Two Sigma, Citadel Securities, Flow Traders, IMC, Tower Research, Jump Trading, HRT, Jane Street, and SIG.
Events are where many of our customers, partners, and future hires meet Databento in person. They’ve grown from a part-time effort across the team into something that deserves a dedicated owner.
We’re hiring an Events Specialist to build and scale our events program and bring our brand to life. You’ll be the person who gives structure to how we run events and makes each one, from a quant meetup to a team off-site, worth showing up for.
You’ll take every event from initial concept through execution, managing budgets, vendors, logistics, and cross-functional coordination. Beyond execution, you’ll help shape our overall events strategy by identifying the right opportunities, evaluating their impact, and guiding where we invest our time.
Responsibilities
You’ll lead a growing portfolio of events across five programs:
Hosted events
: Plan and run a regular series of meetups in key financial hubs to build our brand and connect us with customers, prospects, and the quant community.
Conferences and booths
: Own our presence at industry conferences, from sponsorships and booth design to swag, shipping, staffing, and lead capture.
Client dinners
: Organize dinners and small gatherings with clients and prospects, partnering with Sales, Growth, and Marketing to deepen relationships and support business development.
Campus strategy
: Build and manage our campus presence, including career fairs, recruiting events, sponsorships, and student programs, to strengthen our employer brand and university relationships.
Team off-sites
: Plan and coordinate off-sites for our fully distributed team, managing venues, travel, accommodations, and event logistics.
Across all of these, you’ll:
Set up and manage a centralized annual events calendar and budget, while identifying new opportunities.
Evaluate conferences, sponsorships, and hosted events against business objectives, expected impact, and return on investment, recommending which to add, prioritize, or cut.
Partner with Sales, Growth, Marketing, and People to ensure events support broader company objectives.
Coordinate with Marketing on invitations, promotion, and branded materials.
Source and negotiate with venues, caterers, hotels, printers, and AV vendors.
Manage travel and logistics for attendees and staff.
Build repeatable processes for event planning, execution, and post-event evaluation.
Track event performance, including attendance, leads, engagement, hires, and cost per attendee, to inform future investment.
Requirements
3+ years of experience planning and running events, ideally across conferences, hosted events, and corporate or client events.
Demonstrated ability to take projects from concept through execution and build processes with minimal oversight.
Track record of juggling several events and competing deadlines without losing sight of the details.
Experience managing budgets, evaluating costs, and negotiating with vendors.
Strong project management skills and ability to coordinate across teams and stakeholders.
Data-driven approach to evaluating event performance, allocating budgets, and identifying improvements.
Clear written and interpersonal communication, plus a good eye for how an event looks and feels.
Comfort navigating ambiguity on a small, fully remote team.
Willingness to travel regularly, including internationally, with some evening events and occasional weekend travel.
Nice-to-haves
Experience with B2B, fintech, or trading industry events.
University relations or campus recruiting experience.
Experience building an events program or function from the ground up.
Familiarity with tools like Luma, HubSpot, Linear, and Figma.
We offer health, dental, disability, and life insurance benefits, as well as 401(k) matching for full-time employees. We accommodate 100% remote work, with teammates living around the globe and paid in their local currency.

A meaningful share of our customer support volume is billing-related: invoices, payment issues, accidental charges, disputes, and renewal questions. This role owns that queue end-to-end. You'll be the patient, steady voice who walks a customer through a confusing invoice, hops on a call to sort out a billing dispute, and makes sure our enterprise clients are billed correctly and completely. You'll also take billing-related busywork off our team's plate so we can focus on growing the business.
Responsibilities

Serve as the primary point of contact for billing-related customer inquiries — invoices, payments, accidental charges, and disputes.
Patiently walk customers through billing questions, explaining charges and resolving issues with a calm, personable approach, while using our internal usage dashboards to look up a customer's data requests and identify the source of a discrepancy (e.g., duplicate requests, overages).
Identify recurring billing questions and contribute improvements to invoicing templates, FAQs, and customer-facing billing documentation.
Set up and maintain enterprise account billing using our internal tools: create subscriptions when a deal closes, generate and send invoices, and keep billing details (company name, address, payment method) current in Stripe.
Help ensure enterprise clients are billed correctly and completely; catch and resolve discrepancies before they become disputes.
Own dunning communications (payment reminders, overdue notices) end-to-end.
Complete supplier/vendor onboarding forms required by enterprise customers.
Manage billing disputes from intake through resolution, looping in Sales or Finance as needed.
Support renewals and mid-term upgrades as enterprise contracts grow more complex, coordinating with Sales on pricing and terms.
Handle Databento's own vendor invoices for data and exchange fees (e.g., paying data providers directly).
Requirements
A genuine customer service orientation — patient, personable, comfortable getting on the phone to walk someone through a problem.
Experience resolving billing disputes, collections, or accounts receivable/payable issues.
Comfort working with complex, recurring billing cycles (usage-based or subscription billing a plus).
Prior experience in industries with intricate billing, such as healthcare billing/insurance coordination, financial services, or similar is a strong plus.
Organized and detail-oriented; comfortable owning a process end-to-end with minimal hand-holding.
Experience with billing or invoicing software (e.g., Stripe, NetSuite, QuickBooks) is a plus.
Bachelor's degree.
Experience working at a technology, B2B SaaS, or startup company in a similar role is a plus.
We offer health, dental, disability, and life insurance benefits, as well as 401(k) matching for full-time employees. We accommodate 100% remote work, with teammates living around the globe and paid in their local currency.

We're looking for a midlevel or senior IC to join our Backend Engineering team as a Site Reliability Engineer. You'll own the uptime, performance, and observability of our platform, and help set the standard for how the rest of engineering builds, ships, and monitors software.
The range of problems is wide. You'll work on petabyte-scale data processing, SaaS problems like customer management and billing, and the query systems that power our APIs. Unlike most finance firms, we're open about our tech and how we build it.
Responsibilities
Own uptime, SLAs, and SLOs across our API and platform services.
Set reliability and operational best practices for other developers without slowing them down.
Build and maintain observability across logging, metrics, and tracing.
Design and run high-availability deployment and containerization strategies.
Profile and optimize Python applications for throughput, latency, and cost.
Debug production issues down to the OS level using tools like strace, perf, eBPF, ss, and gdb.
Improve deployment and CI/CD workflows.
Join the on-call rotation, lead incident response, and run post-incident reviews.
Find what needs fixing on your own, then take projects from idea to completion.
Preferred background
Full-time experience in SRE, DevOps, or backend engineering, preferably at a trading firm, tech company, or high-growth startup.
Hands-on experience with observability tooling for logging, metrics, and tracing (e.g. Prometheus, OpenTelemetry, VictoriaMetrics, Jaeger, Logstash, Loki, Vector).
Experience with containerization and high availability deployment (e.g. Docker, Podman, Docker Compose, Docker Swarm, Kubernetes, k3s).
Strong proficiency in Python, including application development and performance optimization.
Comfortable with Linux debugging and profiling tools such as strace, perf, eBPF, ss, and gdb.
A track record of measurable impact in a recent role, such as improving performance by X%, speeding something up Nx, or saving $Y per year.
Experience with alerting and incident response best practices is a plus.
Familiarity with configuration management or infrastructure-as-code tools (Ansible, Terraform) is also helpful.
Bonus if you've done HTTP benchmarking, load testing, and capacity planning.
Database schema design and query optimization skills are nice to have.
Good communication skills and work ethic for a remote workplace.
An interest in financial data or algorithmic trading.
We offer health, dental, disability, and life insurance benefits, as well as 401(k) matching for full-time employees. We accommodate 100% remote work, with teammates living around the globe and paid in their local currency.
The base salary range for this role is $150,000–$215,000, benchmarked to Tier 1 locations in each country. Total compensation may also include bonuses, commissions, and equity, depending on the role.
