Design & Validate Solutions
  • Recommend and design solutions that meet customer requirements while aligning with product capabilities
  • Support or lead proofs-of-concept (POC) to validate technical fit and demonstrate value
  • Contribute to technical responses for RFPs, RFIs, and security questionnaires

Be a Force Multiplier for Sales
  • Provide technical guidance that accelerates deal velocity and improves win rates
  • Enable sales teams with product knowledge, use cases, and competitive positioning
  • Share field feedback with Product and Engineering to influence roadmap and improvements

What Success Looks Like
  • You're viewed as a trusted advisor by customers and sales partners
  • You help unblock complex technical evaluations and shorten sales cycles

  • You balance customer needs with scalable, repeatable solution

  • At least 5 years in a Pre-Sales Engineer, Sales Engineer, Solutions Consultant, or similar customer-facing technical role
  • Experience supporting SaaS, enterprise software, or complex technical products
  • Proven ability to work on deals involving both technical and business stakeholders
  • Strong understanding of modern software platforms (cloud, APIs, integrations, security, or data-depending on product)
  • Ability to translate technical capabilities into customer value
  • Comfortable presenting, whiteboarding, and leading discussions with diverse audiences
  • Solid grasp of the sales process and how technical decisions influence buying outcomes

Nice to have:
  • Experience with cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, GCP) or enterprise systems
