We’re hiring the

first Sales Engineer

for a high-growth, venture-backed SaaS company operating at the intersection of revenue, finance and infrastructure systems. They’re building core technology that sits behind how modern software companies transact, scale and operationalise complex B2B deals.

This is a genuine founding opportunity. You won’t inherit a mature playbook — you’ll build it.

If you’re a strong SE who wants more ownership, more influence, and direct exposure to senior leadership, this is that move.

Why this role is compelling

Founding SE

– design the demo narrative, RFP process, security responses and technical enablement from scratch

Direct access to CEO & VP Sales

– high visibility, real impact

Enterprise exposure

– work across SMB to large enterprise SaaS logos

Cloud marketplace tailwinds

– rapid growth driven by AI & hyperscaler ecosystems

Well-funded (Series A)

with strong market traction

Hybrid working – 3 days in office (San Francisco)

What you’ll actually do This isn’t a “sit in the background” SE role.

You’ll:

Lead technical discovery and solution alignment with SaaS buyers

Run compelling, value-led product and workflow demos

Map complex system interactions (CRM, CPQ, ERP, billing, integrations)

Own RFP responses, security documentation and demo environments

Partner closely with AEs to elevate conversations beyond features into business outcomes

Act as the bridge between Sales and Engineering

You’ll be the technical face of the company in enterprise conversations.

What good looks like We’re looking for an experienced Sales Engineer who can operate independently.

You likely have:

2–5+ years in a Sales Engineer / Solutions Engineer / Pre-Sales role

Experience in complex B2B SaaS environments

Strong API fluency and integration knowledge

Exposure to CRM / ERP / CPQ / billing systems

Confidence presenting to both technical stakeholders and executives

A “builder” mindset — comfortable without a rigid playbook

What will not work

Trying to break into Sales Engineering without prior SE experience

Needing highly structured environments and established processes

Strong technically, but unable to communicate clearly and persuasively

This role requires someone who can control a room — not just understand the tech.
