Senior Sales/Solutions Engineer | AI-Driven Engineering Intelligence

Comp: $170,000 - $200,000 base ($242,000 - $285,000 OTE)

Hybrid (3 days per week in NYC or SF)

I am currently partnering with the leadership team of a high-growth, Series B developer-tooling startup to find a heavy-hitting Senior Solutions Engineer.

My client was founded by AI visionaries from Salesforce and LinkedIn. They have built the "Data Cloud" for engineering organizations, unifying the entire SDLC into a single pane of glass for companies like Discord, Autodesk, and Box. If you are a technical expert who loves the intersection of Big Data, DevOps, and GenAI, this is the most strategic role on their go-to-market team.

The Profile I’m Looking For:

I am looking for a sophisticated technical consultant who can hold their own with a VP of Engineering or a CTO.

The "Pre-Sales" Expert: 7+ years industry experience, 3+ years spent in the trenches of a fast-paced startup.
High Slope: You can point to at least one tenure of 3+ years at a single company where you earned promotions or took on significantly more scope.
The Domain Expert: You understand the SDLC inside and out. You are deeply familiar with GitHub, Jira, Datadog, and CI/CD toolchains. Experience specifically within Developer Tooling or Engineering-SaaS.
The AI Edge: You have a pulse on the AI coding assistant (e.g., Copilot) and AI agent landscape and understand how these tools are fundamentally changing developer productivity.

Why This Role is Different:

Category Creation: You aren't selling a "nice-to-have." You are selling the foundation of "Engineering Intelligence", a category that didn't exist five years ago but is now a board-level priority.
Elite Pedigree: You’ll be working alongside a leadership team that has scaled some of the most successful SaaS platforms in history.
The "Technical Win": You will lead high-stakes Proof of Value (PoV) engagements, architecting data solutions for some of the world’s most sophisticated engineering teams.
Compensation & Equity: Highly competitive base/variable split with a meaningful equity stake in a Series B company with massive upside.
