The Role
As a Senior Solutions Engineer, you will independently lead technical engagements for customers, owning discovery, solution design, and platform demonstrations.

What We Look For
- 4+ years in data engineering, solutions architecture, technical pre-sales, or a hands-on consulting role
- Proficient in Python and SQL with demonstrated ability to debug, optimise, and write production-quality code — live coding is a required interview stage

- Experience leading technical customer conversations — discovery, whiteboarding, architecture reviews
- Familiarity with one or more: data engineering (ETL/ELT, medallion architecture, streaming), data science/ML (model training, MLOps), or SQL analytics
- Strong presentation and demo skills — you will build and present a live solution during the interview
- Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a quantitative discipline (or equivalent experience)
Nice to Have:
