## About the role

We're looking for our first Sales Engineer - someone who comes from the messaging or communications infrastructure industry and has an engineering or CS background but lights up in conversations with people. You might be a software engineer who keeps getting pulled into customer calls, a solutions engineer ready for something more entrepreneurial, or a technical support engineer who's ready for something more strategic.

## What they're looking for

- 5+ years of experience, with a foundation in software engineering, computer science, or a related technical field - you've written real code, not just talked about it
- Comfort working with APIs, webhooks, and at least one language (Python, Node.js, etc.) — you can read docs and build a working integration without hand-holding
- A natural pull toward people: you're the engineer who volunteers for the customer call, writes the clearest Slack explanation, or ends up demoing at the all-hands
- High agency : you don't wait for a playbook to exist before you start moving. You figure things out, ask good questions, and close loops without being managed
- Strong written and verbal communication: you can write a technical doc as easily as you can walk a prospect through an architecture decision
- Genuine curiosity about how messaging infrastructure works
