If you believe in business as the greatest platform for change and in companies doing well and doing good– you’ve come to the right place.

Overview of the role

As an Account Solution Engineer (also known as a "Presales Consultant" or "Sales Engineer"), you are the visionary who transforms customer experiences.

• Continuous Learner: You have a "Growth Mindset." Whether it’s passing a new Salesforce Certification or exploring a new API, you are driven by a natural curiosity to understand the how and why behind the tech.
  

Responsibilities

• Strategic Sales Partnership: Act as the technical "North Star" for the sales team, aligning technical strategy with business outcomes to close complex deals.
