PreSales Solution Engineer (f/m/d) - US remote
Mobil Remote
Full-time
Permanent employee
Your tasks
As a Solution Engineer, you are the trusted technical advisor in the sales cycle. Partnering closely with our Account Executives, you translate complex customer challenges into compelling cplace solutions - running discovery, designing tailored demonstrations, and building proofs of value that show real outcomes. Because cplace is a configurable platform rather than a point soution, you will spend much of your time modeling customer use cases in the platform, integrating with their systems, and proving that cplace can adapt to their real-world requirements. You will be the bridge between the customer, the AE, and our product and consulting & professional services teams.
What we expect
- 3+ years in a pre-sales / sales engineering / solution consulting role for enterprise B2B software or SaaS (or equivalent customer-facing technical experience).
- Strong ability to run discovery and deliver compelling, tailored demos that connect technical capabilities to business value.
- Hands-on aptitude for configuring software - comfort with no-code / low-code platforms, data modeling, and tailoring solutions to customer requirements.
- Working knowledge of enterprise concepts such as integrations/APIs, SSO, data security, and cloud vs on-premise deployment, and the ability to discuss them credibly with technical buyers.
- Excellent presentation and communication skills, with the confidence to lead a room from individual contributors up to the C-suite.
- Comfort operating in complex, multi-stakeholder enterprise sales cycles alongside an AE.
- A proven track record of identifying value throughout the sales process, with a methodical, metrics-driven approach to tracking actual realized value.
- Demonstrated ability to integrate AI tools and AI-augmented workflows into your work, treating AI fluency as a core part of how you operate.
- Willingness to travel up to 50% for customer meetings and demos.
- Bachelor’s degree in a technical or business field, or equivalent experience.
Additional Preferences
- Experience with project and portfolio management (PPM) software, or familiarity with PMO / program-management practices.
- Background in or selling into engineering-led or product-development functions, ideally in automotive, aerospace, pharmaceutical/life sciences, energy and construction, or adjacent industries.
- A solid understanding of data modeling in (SQL) databases, along with working knowledge of JavaScript, Python, or other programming languages.
- Knowledge of classic, agile, and hybrid project methodologies.
- German-language ability is a plus but not required.
This is what we offer
- A category-defining, AI-powered platform with strong references among global engineering leaders and significant runway in North America.
- Competitive base salary plus a target incentive tied to team and sales outcomes.
- Remote-first flexibility within the US, backed by an established, fast-growing global company #LI-Remote
- A collaborative team, deep product exposure, and direct access to product and leadership as we build the North American business.
