Solutions Engineer - CPQ AI

ThreeKit, Inc. • Chicago, IL

9d • Hybrid

About The Position

Threekit is looking for a hands-on Solutions Engineer to join our Sales Engineering team as a client-facing technical partner who demonstrates, configures, and articulates the value of Threekit's AI-native configure-price-quote platform. This isn't legacy CPQ with AI features bolted on; you'll show prospects how AI ingests messy catalogs, infers configuration and pricing rules, and produces accurate quotes in a fraction of the time and effort traditional CPQ demands. This is a growth role for someone building depth in applied AI and quote-to-cash solutioning while operating with strong fundamentals in pre-sales and solution engineering. You'll partner closely with Account Executives through discovery, solution positioning, and demos, and work cross-functionally with Product, Engineering, Demo, and Forward-Deployed teams to keep every solution technically accurate. The successful candidate must reside within a reasonable daily commuting distance of our Chicago office and be in the office for 2 days per week.

Requirements

• 4-6 years in a client-facing technical role (Solutions Engineer, Sales Engineer, Technical Consultant).
• Strong technical aptitude and ability to learn new technologies quickly.
• Foundational understanding of web technologies, APIs, and SaaS architectures.
• Working understanding of how businesses configure products, price them, and get to a quote, plus a real interest in applied AI.
• Strong communication and presentation skills.
• Ability to manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced environment.
• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, MIS, or related field, or equivalent practical experience.

Nice To Haves

• Hands-on experience with a CPQ or product configuration platform (Salesforce CPQ, Oracle, PROS, Tacton, Configit, or similar), ideally with a view on where they fall short.
• Hands-on experience with JavaScript, HTML, or React.
• Exposure to LLM-powered products, prompting, or judging the quality of AI output.
• Experience supporting demos or proofs-of-concept.
• Familiarity with eCommerce, CRM, ERP, or cloud platforms, and how quote and order data moves between them.

Responsibilities

• Partner closely with Account Executives to support deals through technical discovery, solution positioning, and demonstrations.
• Participate in client-facing meetings and calls to map customer quoting workflows, product rules, approval paths, and the manual work AI can take off the table.
• Deliver customized demonstrations and proofs-of-concept that show AI-driven configuration, pricing, and quoting running against the customer's own catalog and rules.
• Respond to technical questions during the sales cycle, including RFP and RFI contributions.
• Assist in designing AI-native configure-price-quote solutions aligned with customer outcomes, commercial policy, and business requirements.
• Use the platform's AI to stand up product catalogs, configuration rules, and pricing logic in demo environments, including CRM and ERP integration points.
• Collaborate with Product, Engineering, Demo, and Forward-Deployed teams to ensure technical accuracy.
• Translate AI behavior, configuration logic, pricing structures, and integration concepts into clear explanations for technical and non-technical audiences.
• Build working knowledge of Threekit's AI architecture and how it drives the configuration engine, pricing model, and quoting stack.
• Stay informed on applied AI, CPQ, and quote-to-cash trends, including how legacy vendors are responding.
• Improve demo assets, documentation, and enablement materials.
• Work cross-functionally to ensure smooth handoffs and aligned expectations.
• Contribute to team knowledge-sharing and best practices.

Benefits

• A comprehensive insurance package including medical, dental, vision, disability, and life insurance.
• Equity and retirement-plan support for your long-term future.
• An unlimited PTO policy and paid holidays so you can relax and recharge when needed.
• A hybrid work model that supports flexibility while maintaining meaningful in-person collaboration.
• A positive culture that embraces employee input.
