🚀 Our Vision At whitson, we’re building the #1 modern petroleum engineering software company in the world. No modesty here — we mean it. We’re not just building a tool or a product; we’re building a platform. Something that feels inevitable when you use it.
We’re doing to petroleum engineering what Windows did to DOS — taking the industry from slow, clunky, legacy desktop systems to seamless, web-first experiences, powered by real-time APIs, Snowflake, Databricks, and the best that modern data workflows can offer.

Why now? The industry is at a tipping point: data is exploding, cloud-native workflows are becoming the new standard, and engineers are demanding tools that match the speed and sophistication of their thinking. The timing is perfect for whitson to redefine what’s possible.

The endgame? Every petroleum engineer in the world running on some flavor of whitson software.

What We’re Looking For:
whitson is looking for driven, curious, and technically minded individuals with an entrepreneurial spirit. You’ll be joining an agile and fast-moving team, where flexibility and initiative are key. We’re a small and ambitious company, and everyone plays an important role. Since our clients are engineers—and many of your teammates will be too—it helps if you genuinely enjoy working with smart, technical people.

Potential Over Experience:
Whether you’re a student, recent grad, rising talent, or experienced professional—if you’ve got the skills, grit, and mindset to grow, we want to hear from you.
We care more about hard work, eagerness to learn, and adaptability than about specific titles or years of experience. You don’t need to have worked with our exact tools or domain before—as long as you’re willing and able to learn, you’ll fit right in.

Location: Indonesia, Jakarta
Team: Consulting & Software

💼 About the role
whitson is looking for a meticulous and motivated Data Tech Engineer to join our growing team in Indonesia. You’ll work closely with a senior engineer based in Jakarta and another in Norway — both originally from Indonesia — ensuring you’ll always have local guidance and mentorship nearby.
In this role, you'll play a key part in supporting both our consulting group and our clients by helping manage and structure PVT data (from PVT reports) in the whitsonPVT software platform. Your contribution will help our engineers and clients make better decisions faster and with greater confidence.

🧠 What you’ll do
· Collect and prepare data: Carefully read, interpret, and enter PVT data from various technical reports into the whitsonPVT software.
· Support database workflows: Help maintain and improve data quality within our internal and client-facing databases.
· Collaborate across teams: Work hand-in-hand with senior engineers in Jakarta and Norway, learning best practices and contributing to shared goals.
· Ensure data integrity: Check for consistency, accuracy, and completeness before final submission.
· Continuously improve: Identify opportunities to streamline data handling processes and suggest improvements to our workflows.

🔥 What we’re looking for
· Attention to detail: You are thorough, careful, and take pride in delivering clean, accurate work.
· Organized and reliable: You manage tasks systematically and do not rush through responsibilities.
· Eager to learn: You’re open to learning new tools, technical concepts, and data workflows, and you enjoy growing your skills over time.
· Effective communicator: You can communicate clearly in English (both written and spoken) and are comfortable asking questions when something is unclear.
· Basic technical skills: Comfortable working with Excel and PDF documents — or willing to become proficient quickly.
· Engineering background is a plus, but not required. Your mindset and dedication are more important than specific degrees.

✅ Nice to have
· Experience working with technical documents or laboratory data.
· Familiarity with database systems or data entry software.
· Exposure to oil and gas industry data (e.g., PVT analysis).

🌱 What we offer
At whitson, you’ll be part of a close-knit, supportive, and globally distributed team passionate about solving complex engineering challenges. We reward careful, high-quality work and provide you with the freedom and flexibility to do your best.
Additional evaluation step
All relevant applicants will be given a task to complete our PVT data digitalization certification, and questions from this will be discussed in a potential interview.

💼 The Role
We’re at a crucial turning point — shifting from a predominantly inbound to a robust outbound sales motion. That’s where you come in.
As our Head of Sales, you will be the ultimate "player-coach." You’ll be out front: picking up the phone, booking the meetings, closing deals, and showing the team how it’s done. You’ll define, lead, and execute our outbound strategy while staying deeply hands-on with day-to-day deals. You’ll set the pace, culture, and standards for how we engage customers and grow revenue.

🔥 What We're Looking For

A hunter mindset. You create and drive opportunities rather than waiting for them to come to you.
A hands-on closer. You thrive on negotiations, renewals, rev ops, and forecasting — and you lead by example.
A relationship builder. You treat relationships as long-term investments and love building deep client trust.
A partner mindset. You enjoy rolling up your sleeves and truly owning the sales process from start to finish.
A long-term thinker. You embrace our mindset that every business relationship is a multi-year partnership. We don’t take shortcuts for short-term gains; we keep our "long-term goggles" on, always asking, "What decisions today will set us up for success five years from now?"

⚠️ What We’re Not Looking For

Someone who prioritizes setting up tools and processes over actively engaging with customers and driving revenue hands-on.
Someone who prefers to manage from the sidelines instead of selling directly.
Someone who hides behind strategy decks and dashboards instead of picking up the phone.
Someone who wants to build a big team so they can delegate everything and avoid direct selling.

🌱 Culture & Ethos
We fly economy. We stay in humble hotels. We’re frugal with ourselves. Frugality, to us, isn’t about being cheap — it’s about focus. We believe constraints foster creativity, clarity, and better decisions.
We believe in building extremely intimate, trust-based relationships with our clients. We spend time deeply understanding their needs, solving real problems, and becoming a true partner rather than just another vendor.
We’re in the game for the long run. We treat every client interaction as the beginning of a decades-long relationship, not a quick transaction. We want someone who shares this mindset and is excited to build a legacy alongside us.
At whitson, no job is beneath anyone. We’re a scrappy, high-velocity environment. We want someone who not only says they’ll "roll up their sleeves" — but has the track record to prove it. You’ll work closely with product, engineering, and leadership to shape the future of our business.

✅ Requirements

Deep experience leading and executing enterprise sales motions, ideally in technical or engineering-heavy industries.
Proven ability to drive new business and close complex, high-value deals.
Exceptional communication and storytelling skills — you can clearly articulate value to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
A strong personal network and credibility with industry decision-makers is a big plus.
Comfort in a startup or scale-up environment — you thrive in ambiguity and aren’t afraid to get your hands dirty.

💬 Final Note
We’re not looking for someone to simply "run" sales — we’re looking for someone to help build it. If you want to help redefine an industry and create something legendary, we’d love to meet you.

💬 Compensation & Upside
Compensation for this role will be heavily performance-driven. We’re looking for someone who is excited to lean into our stock option program as the main source of asymmetric upside. Simply put: if the company succeeds, you succeed. This structure ensures true alignment and offers the potential for meaningful wealth creation alongside the company’s growth.
