Job summary

Pulse is tackling one of the most persistent challenges in data infrastructure: extracting accurate, structured information from complex documents at scale. We are a small, fast-growing team in San Francisco solving document-understanding with a multi-stage architecture and fine-tuned extraction models.

As a Solutions Engineer at Pulse, you will partner with Account Executives to translate complex document challenges into technical, credible solutions.

Qualifications

• 3+ years in a customer-facing technical role such as solutions or sales engineering, pre-sales, solution architecture, or technical consulting, ideally selling technical or data infrastructure products.
• Proven ability to lead technical discovery and map customer requirements to product capabilities using value-based and solution-selling methodology.
• Comfort designing end-to-end solutions and creating architecture diagrams that account for a customer’s existing systems, data flows, and infrastructure.
• Experience running proofs-of-concept and technical evaluations, including defining success criteria and tying outcomes to measurable business value.
• Strong working knowledge of APIs, integrations, and modern cloud and data infrastructure, enough to architect credible solutions and speak fluently with technical stakeholders.
• Proficiency in Python or a similar language for prototyping, demos, and technical validation.
• Excellent presentation and communication skills, with the ability to build trust with both technical and business buyers and to handle objections with confidence.
• Bias toward ownership and a track record of partnering closely with Account Executives to move deals forward.

Responsibilities

• Partner with sales to lead technical discovery, qualify opportunities, and map customer requirements to Pulse capabilities using value-based and solution-selling methodology.
• Design end-to-end solutions that account for the customer’s current systems, data flows, and existing infrastructure, identifying integration points and constraints early.
• Create architecture diagrams and solution designs that support the buying decision and guide implementation.
• Lead proofs-of-concept and technical evaluations, defining success criteria and tying outcomes to business value (accuracy gains, cost and time savings, risk reduction).
• Apply pre-sales consulting best practices to build trust with technical and business stakeholders, including objection handling and tailored technical demos.
• Own a clean handoff to implementation and deployment teams with documented solution design, architecture, and success criteria.
• Serve as the technical voice of the customer back to product and engineering, surfacing patterns across deals.
