What you'll do

  • Run demos and scope PoCs alongside our AEs, from first technical call through to closed-won
  • Translate customer problems into Soda solutions, and translate Soda's capabilities into the customer's language
  • Build custom demos, sample pipelines, and PoC environments that show real value
  • Own product, technical, and security responses on RFPs and RFIs
  • Support customers through evaluation, purchasing, and implementation
  • Be the technical voice in the room - with Data Engineers, Heads of Data Platform, and Chief Data Officers
  • Feed product and engineering the signal from the field - what's winning, what's losing, and why
  • Travel occasionally to customer sites, team offsites, and conferences
  • Wear many hats - it's a startup, you'll touch every stage of the sales cycle

What they require

  • Must have 1-3 years as a Sales Engineer, Solutions Engineer, or similar customer-facing technical role at a B2B SaaS company
  • Undergraduate degree (or higher) in a technical field - Computer Science, Applied Mathematics, Engineering, or similar
  • Fluent in Python - you can read, write, and debug it in front of a customer
  • Experience running demos and supporting PoCs in customer environments
  • Strong customer communication - clear, calm, and honest under pressure. You can explain something technically complex to a Data Engineer and to a VP of Data in the same conversation
  • Builder mentality, process-oriented - you want to optimize and streamline boring processes. You write docs without being asked. You notice when a process is broken and propose a fix. You'd rather build an AI workflow to automate a repetitive task than do it manually three more times - and you have examples of doing exactly that
  • High horsepower and ruthless prioritization - you context-switch well, manage multiple projects with expansive ownership, and don't drop balls
  • Have a humble attitude , an eagerness to help others, and a desire to pick up whatever knowledge you're missing to make both your team and our customers succeed
  • Based in the US
  • Top university degree
  • Experience selling to data teams (Data Engineers, Data Platform, CDOs)
  • Familiarity with data quality, governance, or observability tools
