About The Position

Threekit is seeking a Solutions Engineer to join their Sales Engineering team. This client-facing role involves demonstrating, configuring, and articulating the value of Threekit's AI-native configure-price-quote (CPQ) platform.

This is a growth opportunity for individuals looking to deepen their expertise in applied AI and quote-to-cash solutions while leveraging strong pre-sales and solution engineering fundamentals. The role requires close collaboration with Account Executives throughout the sales cycle, including discovery, solution positioning, and demonstrations. Cross-functional work with Product, Engineering, Demo, and Forward-Deployed teams is also essential to ensure technical accuracy. The successful candidate must reside within a reasonable commuting distance of the Chicago office and be available to work in the office two days per week.
