About the role
The most senior individual-contributor seat in Solutions Engineering, not defined by a stage in the customer journey, but by scope: you're the final technical escalation point for Solutions Engineering, and the person who sets technical strategy and standard for the function as a whole. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.
What they're looking for
- 8–12+ years of relevant experience, with significant time in a senior technical pre-sales, solutions-architecture, or implementation leadership role
- Proven track record operating independently on the most complex, highest-stakes technical problems an organization has — not just executing an established playbook
- Comfortable and credible in both a whiteboard session with engineers and a strategy conversation with executives — able to translate fluently between the two
- Demonstrated experience setting technical direction or standards across a team or function, not just for your own accounts
- Strong track record influencing product/engineering roadmap through structured technical feedback and pattern recognition across many accounts or problems
