Tech Stack

About the role

  • Partner closely with Sales to run technical discovery, deeply understand customer goals, and map Suger’s capabilities to their marketplace monetization strategy
  • Lead product demonstrations tailored to customer pain points, clearly communicating ROI and business value
  • Build technical prototypes, workflows, and integration examples to showcase how Suger automates listing, quoting, fulfillment, and billing processes via APIs
  • Translate prospect requirements into actionable solution designs leveraging Suger’s features, integrations, and API-first platform
  • Own the technical handoff from pre-sales to post-sales by documenting customer requirements, configuration expectations, integration details, and success criteria—ensuring Implementation, Product, and Customer Success have everything needed to deliver an exceptional onboarding experience
  • Build and maintain reusable demo assets, templates, and workflows that support scale across the GTM organization
  • Serve as the technical liaison to Product, surfacing insights, influencing roadmap priorities, and refining messaging
  • Collaborate on cross-functional initiatives such as product launches, partner programs, cloud marketplace events, and strategic enablement
  • Document learnings, objections, patterns, and best practices to refine the sales cycle and drive continuous improvement
  • Help establish the foundation of the Sales Engineering function - processes, playbooks, tools, and metrics

Requirements

  • 3+ years of Sales Engineering, Technical Pre-Sales, or related customer-facing technical experience in a SaaS environment (candidates with strong marketplace, revenue operations, or cloud/DevTools backgrounds may be considered even if they have less traditional SE experience)
  • Strong discovery skills—the ability to earn customer trust, ask probing questions, and uncover the “real” business pain
  • Excellent demo and storytelling skills, translating complex technical capabilities into compelling business outcomes
  • Comfort building technical prototypes, workflows, or integration examples — must be able to utilize APIs to demonstrate product capabilities, validate use cases, or build lightweight integrations
  • Solid understanding of enterprise SaaS buying cycles and the SE’s role in driving deal momentum
  • Strong analytical thinking to articulate ROI, quantify operational improvements, and support business cases
  • Experience working cross-functionally with Sales, Product, and Customer Success teams
  • Demonstrated success in high-growth, fast-paced environments
  • Curiosity about AI tools and emerging technologies, with a willingness to adopt them to improve productivity
Benefits
  • Competitive compensation, meaningful early-stage equity, and comprehensive benefits - including healthcare, a monthly stipend for office expenses, and team outings
