About the role

You'll be the technical lead in Alkira's largest enterprise deals — in the room with network architects and infrastructure directors, owning the technical side of the deal from first conversation through POC to close. This is a pre-sales engineering role. You'll partner directly with an Account Manager on strategy and carry real influence over what we build next — our Product team treats SE field feedback as a primary input to the roadmap.

What they're looking for

  • Present and demo the Alkira platform to technical decision makers, from engineer to CIO
  • Clearly articulate the Alkira value proposition and have a sound understanding of market, industry and competitive landscape
  • Partner with Alkira Account Managers to understand customer requirements and pain points. Assist with any technical asks from customers and help respond to RFP/RFIs
  • Scope, run and win Proof of Concepts end to end
  • Assist customers with design and deployment based on best practices
  • Work with Alkira Product Management team to provide feedback on upcoming features from the customer's lens
