[Hiring] Founding Sales Engineer @HireBoost

Role Description

This is a remote position.

As our founding Sales Engineer, you will be the technical foundation of our go-to-market motion. You will run technical discovery during the sales process, lead proofs of concept, drive RFP responses, and own the technical hand-off between Sales and Onboarding.

This is a career defining role. You will partner directly with our founder and sales team to win the most complex deals in our pipeline, and you will build the SE function from zero to one. You sit at the intersection of sales, product, and customer success, and you will heavily influence what we build, how we sell, and how we win. We expect to build our entire pre-sales org around you.

• Demos & Presentations:
  • Deliver tailored product demonstrations aligned to each prospect's industry, CRM environment, and partner strategy.
  • Present effectively to both executive and technical stakeholders, from Partnership leaders to RevOps and Solutions teams.

• Building the SE Function:
  • Define and document the SE playbook, including discovery frameworks, POC templates, RFP libraries, and hand-off processes.
  • Establish key metrics to measure SE impact, including technical win rate, deal velocity, and onboarding quality.
