We are seeking a Senior Sales Engineer who is ready to bridge the gap between complex technical architecture and strategic business value. This role is designed for a dedicated professional who thrives on solving the deep-seated "data silo" problems of enterprise merchants and is driven to evolve into a future leadership position.

Key Responsibilities
-
Strategic Demos & Storytelling: Own the technical demo process, translating "agentic intelligence" into clear, execution-ready outputs for C-suite stakeholders.
-
Value Engineering: Work with enterprise clients to quantify ROI by identifying hidden costs in manual data cleaning versus the growth potential of AI-driven optimization.
-
Technical Discovery: Conduct deep-dives to uncover specific pain points, such as the lack of business context in off-the-shelf AI tools or constant firefighting in operational teams.
-
Bespoke Presentations: Customize technical presentations and POCs that reflect the specific KPIs, goals, and operational nuances of the merchant.
-
Pipeline & Project Management: Manage the technical stages of the sales pipeline, ensuring all cross-functional intelligence requirements are met for a seamless transition.
-
Voice of the Customer: Act as a critical link between the field and the Product team, using on-the-ground experience to influence the development of our multi-agent systems and "Bespoke Strategists".

-
Enterprise Expertise: Proven track record of navigating complex sales cycles with large-scale, global enterprise clients.
-
Value-Based Selling: Strong background in value engineering, with the ability to build business cases around cost-to-performance insights and revenue impact.
Preferred Attributes (Value Engineering & Growth)
