Solutions Engineer
Who we're looking for:
We're looking for a technical, customer-facing engineer to join our Sales & Solutions Engineering team — the technical backbone of our sales process and the hands-on force behind successful implementations, from the first technical conversation through steady-state deployment. This role blends deal-cycle technical ownership with post-sales implementation and support: you'll be judged on deal outcomes alongside your Account Executive, and on how smoothly customers land and run on BigID afterward. This isn't a "talk about the product" role — you'll personally build, configure, troubleshoot, and improve BigID in customer environments, both during the sales cycle and long after close.
Partner directly with Account Executives across the full sales cycle: discovery, qualification, and technical strategy for each opportunity
Deliver tailored product demos to technical and executive stakeholders, adapting on the fly to what the prospect actually cares about
Design, build, and run hands-on POCs/POVs in prospect environments: real data, real integrations, real results, not slideware
Own responses to RFPs/RFIs and security/technical questionnaires
Handle technical objections and competitive positioning in real time, in front of the customer
Post-sales implementation & ongoing delivery
Lead hands-on technical implementation for new deployments — you're the one in the environment doing the setup, not just handing over documentation
Own environment provisioning, integration configuration, and data source connections for new customers
Validate deployments against what was promised during the sales cycle, so what was sold is what gets delivered
Be the technical face of the customer's first weeks with BigID — the point where trust either solidifies or breaks
Smoothly transition stabilized accounts to ongoing Customer Success/Support, with clean documentation of what was built and why
Support, troubleshooting & product improvement
Troubleshoot complex software modules based on written and verbal issue reports from technical support, sales, account managers, and customers directly
Own internal and external customer calls, providing technical insight into reported issues and delivering fixes or workarounds to resolve field problems
Design and configure integrations with customer systems (APIs, authentication protocols, data pipelines) throughout the customer lifecycle, not just at kickoff
Develop and modify modules to implement workarounds for issues or as professional services enhancements
Write and maintain scripts/tools to automate repetitive implementation, deployment, or diagnostic tasks
Play a key role in feature design activities, developing deep expertise in product functionality, and partner with QA and development teams to recommend and validate resolutions
Contribute to technical support training, including compiling materials and delivering sessions to other tiers
What you'll bring:
Strong troubleshooting skills and a methodical, structured approach to problem-solving
Hands-on experience leading or supporting technical implementations/deployments, not just post-deployment support
Prior experience working directly with customers, including on-site visits
Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with strong teamwork abilities and the ability to manage multiple high-priority issues at once
Demonstrated experience writing production code in Python and Java
Experience with databases, particularly MongoDB
Working knowledge of networking protocols and technologies (HTTP, SSL, TCP/IP, DNS, network components)
Experience with REST APIs and integration development (authentication flows such as OAuth/SAML, webhooks, data mapping)
Experience with Kubernetes and other container orchestration technologies
Familiarity with cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, or GCP) and basic infrastructure concepts
Hands-on experience with Linux environments, including installation, network configuration, and bash/shell scripting
Experience with CI/CD pipelines and version control (Git) in a commercial development environment
Experience in a commercial development environment, with familiarity with formal QA processes, development best practices, scheduling, defect tracking, and build environments
IT experience in large organizations — a plus
