What the job involves
- We are looking for an entrepreneurial Inside Sales Solutions Architect to join our Northern Europe team
- In this role, you will work closely with the Inside Sales Account Executive to support the full sales cycle for commercial and corporate customers across Northern Europe. You will be the technical partner to the Account Executive, helping prospects understand how Rescale can solve their engineering, simulation, HPC, and AI challenges
- You will contribute from the earliest stages of an opportunity—supporting lead qualification and technical discovery—through solution development, demonstrations, technical validation, proposals, negotiations, and close. You will help ensure that each opportunity has a clear technical value proposition, a credible path to success, and a well-managed handoff after the deal is completed
- You will help customers understand how Rescale’s portfolio can support the evolution of their engineering and R&D organizations—from scalable compute foundations to AI-driven engineering workflows. You will build the technical and commercial fluency to identify customer needs, recommend the right solution path, and demonstrate how customers can expand their use of Rescale over time:
- HPC Foundations: Help customers access, manage, and scale the high-performance computing infrastructure required for demanding engineering and scientific workloads
- Advanced Modeling & Simulation: Support engineering teams running sophisticated simulation and modeling workflows across disciplines, applications, and distributed environments
- Agentic Engineering: Introduce intelligent, software-driven workflows that help engineering teams automate activities, connect tools and data, and accelerate the path from engineering question to result
- AI Physics: Help customers explore AI-enabled approaches that combine physics, simulation, and machine learning to improve engineering speed, insight, and decision-making
- You will help customers identify the right starting point, validate technical fit, create value quickly, and understand how they can progress from foundational HPC into higher-value modeling, agentic, and AI-powered engineering capabilities
- Partner closely with the Inside Sales Account Executive to qualify opportunities, understand customer requirements, and define the technical approach for each opportunity
- Support inbound and outbound opportunities by contributing technical insight to prospect research, discovery planning, cold-call preparation, and account strategies
- Lead or support technical discovery conversations with engineers, researchers, IT specialists, R&D leaders, and other technical stakeholders
- Translate customer challenges, workflows, applications, infrastructure requirements, and business objectives into clear Rescale solution recommendations
- Deliver compelling product demonstrations, technical presentations, workshops, and solution overviews tailored to different audiences
- Explain the value of Rescale’s HPC, modeling and simulation, agentic engineering, and AI physics capabilities in practical customer terms
- Design and document solution approaches, technical architectures, success criteria, and validation plans for qualified opportunities
- Support proofs of concept, evaluations, pilots, and technical validation activities, coordinating stakeholders and maintaining clear next steps
- Work with the Account Executive to identify risks, remove technical blockers, strengthen the business case, and progress opportunities toward close
- Collaborate with Product, Engineering, Customer Success, Operations, partners, and other internal teams to answer technical questions and deliver a consistent customer experience
- Ensure that technical requirements, proposed solutions, assumptions, success criteria, and customer commitments are accurately documented in Salesforce and other internal systems
- Support accurate deal processing by providing complete technical information for proposals, order workflows, implementation planning, and internal handoffs
- Contribute to opportunity reviews and forecasting by providing an accurate view of technical qualification, validation status, risks, next steps, and expected timing
- Support the Account Executive during negotiations and close by helping customers and internal stakeholders resolve final technical questions
- Participate in post-sale handoffs to Customer Success and other delivery teams, ensuring that the agreed solution, use cases, and success criteria are clearly communicated
- Collaborate with colleagues across Northern Europe and the UK, and contribute to a high-performing, team-oriented sales culture
- Success Measures
- Establish strong technical credibility with prospects and customers
- Improve the quality and conversion of qualified opportunities through effective technical discovery and solution alignment
- Deliver demonstrations, workshops, evaluations, and proofs of concept that clearly connect Rescale capabilities to customer outcomes
- Help the Account Executive progress opportunities efficiently and reduce technical risk before close
- Maintain accurate technical qualification, opportunity, solution, and activity information in Salesforce and other internal systems
- Provide clear visibility into technical status, risks, dependencies, next steps, and expected timing
- Create smooth handoffs from sales to Customer Success, Operations, and other teams involved in delivering customer value
- Help customers expand from foundational HPC into Advanced Modeling & Simulation, Agentic Engineering, and AI Physics opportunities over time
Our take
Migrating on-premises infrastructure to a hybrid or fully cloud-based setup is a complex process that requires network understanding, resources, and time. Whilst some companies aid in making this switch simpler, the challenges of migrating high-performance computing (HPC) systems to the cloud are significantly more complex and remain unaided.
Rescale provides sets of HPC resources to help customers optimise their applications for maximum performance within hybrid or fully cloud-based infrastructures. This is achieved through the application of full-stack automation to minimise the complexity of migration, fine-tuning the infrastructure to optimise the performance of the specific application.
Various startups are tackling infrastructure migration for small businesses and enterprises to support industry-wide moves to cloud computing. Rescale presents itself as a unique competitor by focusing on aiding companies that require HPC for industries such as engineering, aerospace, and scientific research. Impressive 2025 funding will be used to accelerate the development of Rescale's digital engineering platform, and comes at a time when more companies are investing in technology that quickens their products' time to market.
