Description

What does it take to go from writing code to leading customer conversations at scale?

Josh Hicks, Senior Technical Sales Engineer at Jumpmind, joins us to talk:

🚀 Scaling to 70K databases and 20M changes/hour
🌧️ When data goes sideways (and how to fix it)
🔁 How to keep engineers engaged as companies grow
💼 What technical sales *actually* looks like

From building SymmetricDS to supporting retailers like Petco and Build-A-Bear, Josh has done it all, and still finds time to write code.
