Job summary

Perplexity is seeking a Sales Systems Engineer to own the technical layer beneath our enterprise sales motion. You will manage CPQ, scoring, data orchestration, and the integrations that connect Salesforce, Snowflake, and the rest of our GTM stack.

You will be the technical owner of how deals get priced, quoted, scored, routed, and tracked, working directly with sales, finance, marketing ops, and product to build a scalable system.

Qualifications

• 5+ years in Sales Systems, RevOps Engineering, Salesforce engineering, or Enterprise Systems at a high-growth SaaS company.
• Deep Salesforce expertise: flows, formula fields, validation rules, custom objects, sharing model, Apex if needed.
• Hands-on CPQ experience (Salesforce CPQ, Stripe Billing, Maxio, or similar) including pricing, approvals, and quote generation.
• Strong SQL. You can write production-grade Snowflake queries and build dbt-style transformation logic.
• Production experience with reverse ETL (Polytomic, Hightouch, Census) and iPaaS (Workato, Tray, Zapier at scale).
• Comfort with REST APIs, webhooks, and scripting in Python or JavaScript.
• A bias for building. You have shipped custom solutions when the vendor option was wrong.
• Operator mindset. You read tickets, you ship fixes, you do not need a PM to translate seller requests.

Responsibilities

• CPQ: Quote-to-cash configuration, product catalog, pricing rules, approval workflows, discount governance, contract generation. Partner with Finance and Legal on guardrails.
• Scoring: Account scoring, lead scoring, PLG activation scoring, intent signal aggregation. Build and maintain scoring models in Snowflake, push scores to Salesforce via reverse ETL.
• Data orchestration: Polytomic, Hightouch, and Workato pipelines that move data across Snowflake, Salesforce, NetSuite, Apollo, Unify, and the rest of the stack. Own SLAs, monitoring, and breakage response.
• Salesforce engineering: Flows, validation rules, formula fields, custom objects, Apex when needed, Lightning page configuration, permission sets, sandbox management.
• Integrations: API-level integration work across our GTM tools. Build custom connectors when off-the-shelf does not cut it.
• Routing and ownership: Account routing logic, opportunity assignment rules, territory management, ROE enforcement.
• Reporting infrastructure: Snowflake models that power pipeline, forecast, comp, and exec reporting. Partner with Analytics on the visualization layer.
