This position is listed on behalf of a partner company, who manages all applications and next steps. Our partner is looking for a Sales / Pre-Sales Engineer – Data Platform based in the United States.
This role is a high-impact, hands-on technical pre-sales position at the center of complex enterprise data transformation deals. You will act as the technical backbone of the sales cycle, leading discovery sessions, demonstrating platform value, and driving proof-of-concept (POC) engagements that directly determine deal success. Working with regulated enterprises across banking, insurance, healthcare, and government, you will translate complex data estates into clear risk and migration insights, including blast-radius and impact analysis. This is a 0→1 environment where you will help shape not only deals but also the evolving product and go-to-market motion. You will collaborate closely with both sales and delivery teams, ensuring seamless transition from POC to implementation. The role requires strong technical credibility across modern and legacy data ecosystems, combined with the ability to influence both technical stakeholders and executive decision-makers. It is ideal for someone who thrives in ambiguous, early-stage environments and enjoys building trust through technical proof rather than pitch decks.
