We may discover novel customer needs as we learn, and spin up new products as needed. We expect our engineers to own them as they pop up.

About the role

We are looking for a Sales Engineer who is accustomed to solving customer's most complex problems and closing large deals. In this role, you will work directly with the sales team to understand the needs of our customers, strategize on how to navigate winning sales cycles, provide compelling value-based demonstrations, support enterprise Proof of Concepts, and ultimately close business.

What you will be doing

  • Present Fonoa technology and vision to executives and technical contributors at prospects and customers
  • Work hands-on with prospects and customers to demonstrate and communicate the value of Fonoa's technology throughout the sales cycle, from demo to proof of concept to design and implementation
  • Immerse yourself in the ever-evolving industry, maintaining a deep understanding of competitive and complementary technologies and vendors and how to position Fonoa in relation to them.
  • Collaborate with Product Management, Engineering, and Marketing to continuously improve Fonoa's products and marketing

You would be a great fit if you

  • You are fully proficient in English. Written and spoken, as we are a bunch from around the world, but we work in English.
  • 7-8 years of experience with a minimum of 3 within a pre-sales environment
  • Outstanding presenting skills to both technical and executive audiences, whether impromptu on a whiteboard or using presentations and demos.
  • Broad range of experience within large-scale Database and/or Data Warehouse technology, ETL, analytics and cloud technologies
  • Hands-on expertise with SQL and SQL analytics
  • Ability to connect a customer's specific business problems and Fonoa's solutions
  • You are comfortable with change, either in priorities, goals and deadlines. You see this more as an opportunity than a hurdle. You are also comfortable with challenging the status quo and pushing for change yourself.
  • You're looking to make a serious impact, and are excited about working in a high growth startup.

Note:

If you don't know the technologies we use, or don't have experience with large scale projects, but you like learning and are interested in the challenges we have, apply anyway! We are trying to build a diverse team.
