**This is a hybrid position that requires two days in the Chicago office**
Pre-sales isn’t just about explaining a product—it’s about helping people see what’s possible. It’s about understanding, guiding, and storytelling. When done well, pre-sales transforms complexity into clarity, ideas into solutions, and prospects into customers.
For those of us who’ve spent years refining this craft, we know there’s nothing quite like the moment when a client truly gets it—when they can see how your platform fits their world, solves their challenge, and moves their business forward. That’s what great pre-sales does, and that’s what we’re looking for in our next Solutions Engineer.
This role isn’t just about running through a demo script or ticking off a checklist. It’s about engaging, challenging, and inspiring. It’s about knowing your audience—when to dive deep into technical detail and when to elevate the conversation to business value. It’s about being adaptable, resourceful, and always looking for ways to enhance the story we tell and the way we tell it.
If you love problem-solving, storytelling, and shaping client decisions, we’d love to talk.

We need someone who understands pre-sales at its core—who sees it as more than just answering questions, but rather as crafting experiences that resonate.
- 5+ years of Solution Engineering Experience in a SaaS environment
- Technical Expertise: A strong grasp of APIs, cloud-native technologies, and the ability to quickly learn and articulate complex capabilities. You thrive on exploring possibilities within our API framework and SDK to creatively extend our offerings and meet unique prospect use cases.
