Support customers evaluating or operating on self-hosted and BYO cloud deployments, ensuring they can meet their organization's infrastructure, data residency, and compliance requirements. Large-Scale Migrations Guide strategic customers through migrations onto Postgres and Supabase from a wide range of source systems including legacy relational databases such as Oracle and SQL Server, as well as cloud-native and NoSQL platforms like Firebase, Fauna, and PlanetScale. Own the technical migration strategy end-to-end, from assessment and planning through execution and post-migration stabilization. Executive & Stakeholder Engagement Translate deeply technical outcomes into organizational impact for engineering leaders, CTOs, and executive buyers. Navigate multi-stakeholder environments with clarity and confidence, aligning technical strategy to business goals and advocating internally on behalf of your accounts.
