This is a strategic role that goes well beyond running demos. You’ll own the technical thread for customer engagements from initial evaluation through customer growth and expansion. Solutions Engineers at Factory help customers understand our platform and map customer objectives with platform capabilities—architecting solutions inside real dev environments and managing hands-on evaluations with some of the largest software teams in the world. Solutions Engineers also act as front-line product signal, translating what customers need into what we build next. --- ## What You Will Do and Achieve - **Own the technical evaluation**: Lead full-cycle product evaluations, design proofs of concept, and run pilots inside customer environments. Get developers actually using Factory and make sure they stick. - **Drive revenue and growth**: Turn successful pilots into broad adoption. Identify new use cases, teams, workflows, and workloads. Align technical objectives with revenue outcomes. - **Architect the rollout**: Help teams integrate Factory into existing workflows—CI/CD, code review, testing, deployment. Figure out where we fit and where we need to adapt, including **air-gapped and private deployments** for regulated industries. - **Be the customer’s technical voice**: Diagnose friction, write up clear requests for what we don’t have yet, and close the loop with product. - **Feed the product engine**: Translate patterns across customers into actionable feedback. See what’s working (and what isn’t) early. --- ## Qualifications - **3–4+ years** in a technical customer-facing role (Sales Engineering, Solutions Engineering, Developer Advocacy, Platform Engineering, SRE, or similar). Experienced partnering with an AE to support the customer lifecycle. - Led **complex, technical enterprise deal cycles**. Comfortable building champions, multi-threading across technical stakeholders, and working across the org to drive buying decisions. - **You can code and you can talk**: Read code, write scripts, debug integrations, and present to staff engineers. - Understand the **modern dev stack**: Git workflows, CI/CD pipelines, testing frameworks, deployment strategies. - Solve problems like an engineer and communicate like a human—dig into customer environments, explain fixes clearly, and earn trust. - Hungry, fast-moving mindset—biased toward action and energized by hard problems with real stakes. --- ## Requirements - Ability to travel **up to 50%**
