Role

What the job involves
- BetterCloud is looking for a Solutions Engineer, to collaborate closely with the Sales and Customer Success organizations as well as partners throughout the world. This person will assist in architecting a solution to meet the customer's application, spend, management, security, and technical needs for their critical SaaS applications
- As we continue to grow, we strive to stay ahead of the learning curve in all areas of cloud technology, and work to educate both our internal teams as well as our customer’s teams on best practices around deploying our solutions within their environment

- Facilitate solutions discovery, solutions overview, technical deep-dives, and solutions validation sessions with customers
- Prepare demos and Proof of Concepts (POCs) to demonstrate various use cases for BetterCloud’s Platform

Our take
Enterprise companies are using more software as a service (SaaS) products than ever, and it can be hard for IT teams to understand how they are being used efficiently. BetterCloud’s deep API connections enable IT teams to monitor user behavior, system configurations, and data activity across the SaaS applications used by a business.
The company has since morphed into a hugely successful SaaS provider and is used by more than 45,000 IT professionals, with customers including the likes of Zoom, Walmart, and Square.
The global SaaS market is estimated to be worth more than $200 billion and is growing substantially each year. This means that BetterCloud faces a huge amount of competition in its niche, including from Zylo as well as larger firms such as LeanIX and Vendr which have been acquiring BetterCloud's smaller rivals.
Nonetheless, the investment community has recognized the benefit of BetterCloud, consequently contributing over $185 million in funding to help scale the company and develop its product. With thousands of customers worldwide, the SaaS provider is widely recognised to be one of the most innovative software firms in the field.
