As a Senior Sales Engineer, you're an expert in technical presales, comfortable working with technical developer products, sketching out an API flow, and building great relationships with customers.

• Lead deep-dive technical sessions with customer technical stakeholders on Instabase product and solutions
• Scope, communicate, and manage proof-of-value (POV) of solutions with customers
• Present to all levels of technical leadership with confidence and building trust - developers, enterprise architects, managers, and executives
• Develop reusable tools and feedback - demos, product gaps, technical guides, etc.

About you

• Proficient developing demonstrations and scripting in at least one programming language i.e. Python, Javascript, Java.

How you work

• Intellectually curious - you're driven by the desire to understand, empathize with the customer, and solve the root cause issue.
• Emotionally intelligent - you are highly sensitive to others and seek to align with them.
