About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

We are hiring a Sales Systems Engineer to own the technical layer underneath our enterprise sales motion.
This person runs CPQ, account and lead scoring, data orchestration, and the integrations that connect Salesforce, Snowflake, and the rest of our GTM stack.
You will be the technical owner of how deals get priced, quoted, scored, routed, and tracked.
You will work directly with sales, finance, marketing ops, and product to build a system that scales from where we are now to a multi-hundred-million ARR business.
This is a builder role. You should be equally comfortable writing SQL in Snowflake, building Salesforce flows, configuring CPQ rules, debugging a Workato recipe, and shipping a Python script to fix a data problem before the seller notices.
Own SLAs, monitoring, and breakage response.
API-level integration work across our GTM tools. Build custom connectors when off-the-shelf does not cut it.

Requirements

What you’ll need

5+ years in Sales Systems, RevOps Engineering, Salesforce engineering, or Enterprise Systems at a high-growth SaaS company
Deep Salesforce expertise: flows, formula fields, validation rules, custom objects, sharing model, Apex if needed
Hands-on CPQ experience (Salesforce CPQ, Stripe Billing, Maxio, or similar) including pricing, approvals, and quote generation
Strong SQL. You can write production-grade Snowflake queries and build dbt-style transformation logic.
Production experience with reverse ETL (Polytomic, Hightouch, Census) and iPaaS (Workato, Tray, Zapier at scale)
Comfort with REST APIs, webhooks, and scripting in Python or JavaScript
A bias for building. You have shipped custom solutions when the vendor option was wrong.
Operator mindset. You read tickets, you ship fixes, you do not need a PM to translate seller requests.
