The Mission

To make data privacy simple, automated, and trustworthy for enterprises — bringing companies and consumers together through hybrid AI technology to manage privacy and consent at scale.

The Opportunity

This is a high-impact individual contributor role at the intersection of technology and enterprise sales. As the Solutions Engineer, you will be the technical heartbeat of the revenue organization — owning the pre-sales process from discovery through proof-of-concept, translating complex privacy technology into compelling business value for both technical evaluators and C-suite stakeholders. You'll join a lean, high-ownership team where your work directly shapes deals and customer outcomes.

What You'll Do

• Lead end-to-end pre-sales engagements: discovery, solution design, tailored demos, and POC management

• Deliver compelling, customized product demonstrations to technical audiences (architects, engineers) and executive stakeholders (CIOs, CISOs)

• Configure and troubleshoot demo environments using REST APIs, SQL, JavaScript, Python, and cloud infrastructure (AWS/Azure)

• Own proof-of-concept engagements from scoping through technical validation and sign-off

• Partner closely with the sales team to respond to RFIs/RFPs, develop architecture diagrams, and produce technical documentation (SOWs, flow charts)

• Serve as the technical bridge between prospects and the product/engineering team — capturing and translating market feedback

• Support integration discussions across cloud environments and enterprise tech stacks (IAM, SSO, encryption, NoSQL, big data)

What You Bring

• 5–7+ years of experience in pre-sales / solutions engineering at a B2B SaaS or enterprise software company

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or a related technical field

• Demonstrated track record of presenting to both technical teams and C-level executives in enterprise sales cycles

• Hands-on technical proficiency with REST APIs, SQL, and at least one cloud platform (AWS or Azure)

• Coding/scripting exposure: LAMP stack, JavaScript, jQuery, Python, or SQL — sufficient to configure demos and troubleshoot integrations

• Experience leading POC engagements end-to-end with structured success criteria

• Authorization to work in the US without visa sponsorship or transfer

• Commutable to Greenville, DE or Tysons, VA; comfortable working in-office 2 days/week
