Solutions Engineer, Middesk

• We're looking for someone equally comfortable whiteboarding API architecture with a prospect's engineering team as they are building the business case with a Chief Compliance Officer
• 3+ years in a pre-sales or customer-facing technical role such as Solutions Engineer, Sales Engineer, Solutions Consultant, Solutions Architect, or similar
• Experience selling or supporting B2B SaaS products with API-first or data-centric integrations
• Strong familiarity with APIs, data workflows, and SQL—you're comfortable reading and debugging requests/responses, exploring data, and demonstrating technical products credibly to engineering audiences
• Proven track record supporting mid-market and enterprise sales cycles, ideally including fintechs, financial institutions, or other regulated companies with complex evaluations
• Comfortable managing multiple active deals at once—prioritizing effectively, context-switching across opportunities, and keeping deals moving
• Excellent communicator who can translate between technical details and business impact for different audiences (engineers, product managers, risk/compliance, and executives)
• Competitive problem solver with a bias toward action—you're motivated by winning deals, digging into ambiguous requirements, and finding the path to yes

• Lead technical evaluations and proofs of concept by scoping success criteria, supporting prospects through sandbox testing and data evaluations, and translating results into a clear case for Middesk
• Design integration architectures by advising prospects on scalable, resilient implementation approaches that fit their compliance, risk, and operational needs, especially in high-volume or regulated environments
• Handle technical diligence by owning responses to RFPs, security questionnaires, and technical deep-dives, and coordinating with internal teams on complex requirements
• Ensure a clean handoff to post-sales by documenting solution designs, requirements, and commitments so implementation teams can take new customers to production quickly and without surprises
• Champion the voice of the prospect internally by synthesizing feedback, feature gaps, and competitive intelligence, and collaborating with Product, Engineering, and Marketing to sharpen our roadmap and positioning
