About the role:

As a Sales Engineer for our Enterprise Select business, you’ll be splitting your time across two major focus areas; (1) supporting sales in winning new business and expanding existing business, and (2) contributing to the SE Team on the quest of continually raising the bar. There is an expectation that an SE is highly accountable for each technical sale, meaning that strong storytelling, objection handling, custom workarounds, advanced integrations, and extensive hands-on experience are requirements to win business. Takeaways from these activities should be shared across the SE Team via team meetings, messaging tools, etc.

Additionally, an SE is accountable for carving out time to source and deliver product information, conduct testing of alpha products/features, manage projects, and build process improvements and automation that will scale the broader SE Team.
