About The Position

The Sales Engineer is a technical, client-facing role focused on executing technical tasks, supporting customer engagements, and building internal efficiencies that scale the Sales Engineering team. This role partners closely with Senior Sales Engineers and Account Teams to support client conversations, deliver technical validation, and help move deals forward — while also identifying opportunities to automate and streamline repetitive work across the team. This role is ideal for someone early in their Sales Engineering career who is strong technically, highly responsive, and eager to learn. Success comes from a combination of technical execution, curiosity, and initiative — pairing reliable follow-through with a willingness to identify inefficiencies and build the automations, scripts, and AI-driven workflows that remove them. Over time, this individual will grow into deeper discovery, solution design, and customer ownership responsibilities, ultimately progressing toward a Senior Sales Engineer role.
