Pre-sales isn’t just about explaining a product—it’s about helping people see what’s possible. It’s about understanding, guiding, and storytelling. When done well, pre-sales transforms complexity into clarity, ideas into solutions, and prospects into customers.

For those of us who’ve spent years refining this craft, we know there’s nothing quite like the moment when a client truly gets it—when they can see how your platform fits their world, solves their challenge, and moves their business forward. That’s what great pre-sales does, and that’s what we’re looking for in our next Solutions Engineer.

This role isn’t just about running through a demo script or ticking off a checklist. It’s about engaging, challenging, and inspiring. It’s about knowing your audience—when to dive deep into technical detail and when to elevate the conversation to business value. It’s about being adaptable, resourceful, and always looking for ways to enhance the story we tell and the way we tell it.

If you love problem-solving, storytelling, and shaping client decisions, we’d love to talk.

WE SHOULD TALK IF THIS SOUNDS LIKE YOU

We need someone who understands pre-sales at its core—who sees it as more than just answering questions, but rather as crafting experiences that resonate.

• 5+ years of Solution Engineering Experience in a SaaS environment 
• Technical Expertise: A strong grasp of APIs, cloud-native technologies, and the ability to quickly learn and articulate complex capabilities. You thrive on exploring possibilities within our API framework and SDK to creatively extend our offerings and meet unique prospect use cases.
• Industry Knowledge: Proven experience in the areas of PIM, MDM, PXM, Syndication, and E-commerce—ideally in multi-domain contexts.
• Consultative Mindset: Ability to position capabilities as enablers of business value, rather than just technical tools.
• Communication Skills: A polished and persuasive communicator with a knack for simplifying complex ideas and building trust with diverse stakeholders.
• Self-Motivation: A proactive, solution-oriented attitude that drives you to deliver results independently and collaboratively.
• Presentation Mastery: Experience delivering engaging product demonstrations to both technical and business audiences.

How you will make an impact:

Our Data In Flight (DIF) team owns the core pipelines that ingest and route user and event data into Iterable, powering identity, segmentation, and real-time personalization. We are building a multi-tenant data platform that application teams can build on top of, with clear contracts, SLOs, and guardrails. Our product and our Elasticsearch clusters are multi-tenant, and we run Elasticsearch on Kubernetes using Elastic Cloud on Kubernetes (ECK).

We’re looking for a Staff Software Engineer with a track record of operating Elasticsearch-backed data platforms in multi-tenant SaaS. You’ll be a hands-on IC who both designs distributed systems and acts as a platform “product owner” for app teams: understanding their needs, shaping the platform roadmap, and defining stable interfaces between product and data infrastructure.

How you will make an impact:

• Own and evolve core Data In Flight services (ingestion, user and event APIs, identity, system events) with a focus on reliability, performance, and cost.
• Lead the Elasticsearch strategy for our multi-tenant live user and event data: index and mapping design, shard strategy, and safeguards across shared clusters.
• Design and enforce platform contracts (APIs, data models, SLAs, and usage limits) that let product teams move quickly while keeping the data platform safe and scalable.
• Work across other data and application teams on initiatives such as Elasticsearch upgrades, guardrails, resharding, and event retention.
• Provide senior technical leadership during incidents and reviews, turning operational learnings into durable platform improvements.
• Mentor engineers on distributed systems, data modeling, and pragmatic use of Elasticsearch.

What you'll bring:

You likely have many of the experiences below, but not necessarily all of them:

• Hands-on Elasticsearch expertise in production:
• Supporting customer-facing features or platforms backed by ES
• Designing schemas and queries for high-cardinality, multi-tenant workloads
• Operating large clusters (capacity planning, scaling, incident response)
• Multi-tenant platform experience:
• Building shared data services used by multiple product teams
• Implementing rate limits, quotas, and noisy-neighbor protections
• Thinking in terms of contracts and SLOs, not one-off integrations
• Strong distributed systems background:
• JVM-based services (Scala/Java) and event-driven or streaming architectures
• Comfort with modern cloud infrastructure (AWS or similar), messaging, and caches
• Staff-level impact and collaboration:
• Leading cross-team projects from design through rollout
• Translating technical decisions into clear business and product trade-offs
• Clear written communication (RFCs, design docs, post-incident reviews)

Nice To Have:

• Experience with Scala and the Play framework or similar JVM stacks.
• Prior work on core user data platforms (identity, profile stores, event pipelines, or CDP-like systems).
• Exposure to FinOps / infra cost optimization in data-heavy systems.
• Experience in MarTech / AdTech or other high-volume, low-latency data domains.

Perks & Benefits:

• Competitive salaries, meaningful equity, & 401(k) plan
• Medical, dental, vision, & life insurance
• Balance Days (additional paid holidays)
• Fertility & Adoption Assistance
• Paid Sabbatical
• Flexible PTO
• Monthly Employee Wellness allowance 
• Monthly Professional Development allowance 
• Pre-tax commuter benefits
• Complete laptop workstation
