About the role

  • As the technical implementation expert, you will own the technical aspects of the sales cycle.
  • Communicate product features and benefits to potential customers in pre- and post-sales situations, maintaining technical oversight throughout the implementation process to ensure a successful integration launch prior to final handoff.
  • Develop and present custom technical demos that showcase specific features regarding how VGS can help prospective customers meet their business objectives.
  • Conduct assessments of customers' requirements and define and architect VGS solutions to meet the needs of their business.
  • Design solutions built on VGS capabilities to meet the prospect's business and technical requirements.
  • Work with prospective customers' developers to implement proofs-of-concept integrating VGS and third-party components, focusing primarily on high-fidelity prototypes rather than deployed production infrastructure.
  • Lead technical responses for RFIs and RFPs, collaborating with Account Executives and other stakeholders on proposal strategy and non-technical sections.
  • Represent VGS at industry-specific trade shows, acting as the technical voice of the company.
  • Effectively channel product feedback and enhancement requests to Product and Engineering team stakeholders.

  • Proficient in web services, APIs, and full-stack development, and able to understand how a wide variety of technologies and systems interact with each other.
  • Great communicator, comfortable explaining complex concepts to both technical and non-technical audiences that can create technical solutions diagrams in an easy-to-understand way, and capable of structuring and presenting sales and executive-level slide decks.
  • Comfortable writing production-grade code examples and reference implementations (not live production deployments) on top of VGS’s primary deployment languages: Python, JavaScript, Java, or Ruby.
  • Strong collaboration, interpersonal, negotiation, and prioritization skills.
  • Technical certifications such as CISSP or AWS Solutions Architect are a plus.
