Solution Engineer

Do you enjoy rapid prototyping, creating proofs of concept to share with prospective clients? Does the thrill of working on and supporting diverse and unique sales opportunities interest you? Are you looking for a team that is just as much of a software development team as it is an extension of Solution Consulting? Are you interested in being part of a team that tackles complex software requirements that need to meet market demands?

The Solution Engineering team is responsible for delivering creative, solution-focused demonstration implementations to the Sales organization for presentation to prospects.

You must have strong technical skills, such as the ability to code in front-end and back-end programming language or full-stack, debug complex issues, or troubleshoot environment configuration issues.

• Work directly with the Solution Consulting team to implement new features requirements gathering through implementation, testing, and delivery from beginning to end
