Careers at Fortified Data

Every role here is remote, and every role matters. Whether you’re tuning a production database, closing a deal, or building the systems that keep us running, you’ll work alongside people who are very good at what they do and genuinely like doing it together.

What is it like to work at Fortified Data?

Fortified Data is a remote, US-based company built around one thing: keeping our clients’ data platforms running at their best. Whether you’re a database engineer, in sales, marketing, operations, or finance, your work connects directly to that mission. You’ll have the training support to keep growing and regional meetups that bring teammates together in person.

We hire talented people and then help them get even better. For some, that means stepping into a bigger role. For others, it means going deeper and broader in the role they love. The experience across our team goes into supporting both paths.

Success here is measured by results, not titles or tenure. Whether it’s a client environment you stabilized or an internal project you drove across the finish line, what you deliver is what gets noticed.

Core values

What we stand for

Five values shape who we hire, how we work, and what we celebrate.

Unique experiences

No two client environments look alike, and neither do the people here. We say yes to the unexpected, whether that’s an online cooking class, a couch to 5K, a round of Bad Product Shark Tank, or a database problem nobody has seen before. The stranger the challenge, the more we like it.

Curiosity

Good enough isn’t a diagnosis. We dig until we find the real cause, and yes, some of us read error logs for fun. We’re lifelong learners, because the technology never stops moving and neither do we.

Results driven

Starting is easy. Finishing is the fun part. From internal projects to client environments, we drive to the finish line and leave everything better than we found it.

Respect

We tell clients the truth about their systems, even when it isn’t what they hoped to hear, and we bring the fix with it. Inside the team, we have each other’s backs. No egos required.

Give back

We show up for our communities the way we show up for clients: on time, prepared, and ready to work. We give back to each other too, jumping in when a teammate is stuck and sharing what we know through lunch and learns.

Perks and benefits

What comes with a role, beyond the work itself.

Annual bonus plan

When Fortified Data does well, we all do. Our bonus plan shares the company’s success across the whole team.

Training support

Training and development resources that keep you growing, whether that means going deeper in your specialty or picking up something entirely new.

Meetups and monthly activities

Regional meetups bring teammates together in person, because some things are better face to face. Monthly virtual activities are open to families too, from painting classes to costume parties.

Common questions

Are Fortified Data roles remote?

Yes. Every role is remote and the practice is built that way rather than adapted to it. The team comes together in person at regional meetups, and runs monthly virtual activities that employees can bring their families to.

What level of experience does Fortified Data hire?

It depends on the role, and we hire across the range, from early career to seasoned specialists. Experience matters, but it isn’t the whole story. We look for curiosity, a strong work ethic, and the drive to keep learning, because we invest in developing people into platform experts once they join.
