ABOUT THE ROLE

As a Staff Solutions Engineer, you'll be a trusted technical expert on the Omni platform, empowering customers to do more with their data throughout the customer lifecycle. You'll own the technical side of every deal — building one shared plan with your Account Executive and leading complex technical evaluations from discovery through proof-of-concept, hands-on in each prospect's own data and environment. You'll drive each evaluation forward, bring a clear point of view, and help shape product direction with feedback from the field, all while mentoring other SEs along the way.

  • Provide technical leadership across the Solutions Engineering team — mentoring SEs and shaping best practices for discovery, demos, and POCs.
  • Partner with Product leadership to influence the roadmap based on patterns observed in the field.
  • Represent the Solutions Engineering org in strategic, executive-level customer conversations.
  • Smoothly transition trials into successful customers by partnering with post-sales teams and engaging with our partners to plan for ongoing support where needed.

ABOUT YOU

  • 10+ years of pre-sales experience (Solutions Engineering, Sales Engineering, or Solutions Architecture) within business intelligence or data analytics, supporting enterprise customers.
  • Deep expertise with the modern data stack, including cloud data warehouses (e.g. Snowflake, BigQuery, Databricks, Redshift), transformation tools (e.g. dbt), and the broader analytics ecosystem.

  • Exceptional, consultative communication skills across technical, non-technical, and executive audiences.
  • Prior experience with business intelligence and/or enterprise data analytics tools (such as Looker, Omni, Tableau, PowerBI, Mode, Sisense, etc).
  • Experience at a high-growth, Series A-D startup.
