Account Executive Central (Remote)
Preferable Location(s): Illinois, Minnesota, Iowa, Missouri, Wisconsin
Acceldata coined the term "Data Observability" in 2018. Since then, the Acceldata Data Observability platform has been helping enterprise data teams to build and manage data products by solving common data pains such as data and analytics platform scaling and performance issues by identifying operational bottlenecks, cost and resource overruns by providing operational visibility, guardrails, and proactive alerts, data quality and data outages by monitoring data reliability across your data supply chain.
Unlike other siloed data technologies that only address one aspect of the data problem (e.g. data quality), the Acceldata Data Observability platform synthesizes signals from multiple layers and is the only multi-layered solution that provides insights into compute, pipelines, reliability, users and spend for the modern data stack.
