We’re looking for a dynamic Sales Engineer to help grow our Enterprise client base. At data.world, you’ll work closely with our Strategic Account Executives to help drive the technical discussions and discovery during the sales process, deepen prospect product understanding through demonstrations and more hands-on activities, and conduct short term, proof-of-concept engagements. The ideal candidate will reside in the Eastern U.S. and have experience working with financial services companies and/or government agencies. This role reports to the Director of Sales Engineering.

At data.world, you will:

• Be willing and able to learn how to create custom configured environments to meet prospect use cases.

We’d love to see:

• 5+ years of software/SaaS experience, with at least 2 years in a technical/data sales related role. Similar experience in consultative, customer-facing data roles is also considered valuable.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills, including listening, presenting, qualifying, and navigating objections and concerns
• Proven ability to hold conversations at the C level and with IT teams - tailoring the information and delivery to the audience and their technical proficiency
• Highly motivated, “team seller” personality, with a passion about our vision
• Detail-oriented, with a keen eye for identifying potential issues before they arise
• An appetite to learn. You’re curious and excited to improve your process, and always looking to learn. You ask questions and don't shy away from challenges.
• Comfort with learning light coding tasks.
• Familiarity with the opportunities and challenges that come with high-growth startups, and an affinity for them!

Big pluses include:

• Experience in the data catalog, data governance, data analytics, data science and/or data engineering industries or roles.
• Experience working with large organizations (banks, pharma, government agencies, etc.) to build consensus and achieve positive outcomes.
• Experience working with financial services companies and/or government agencies.

Perks and benefits:

• Competitive compensation with generous bonus program
• Fully paid health, vision, and dental insurance premiums for your entire family
