Founding Sales Engineer - Remote

Overview

As one of the earliest GTM hires at Inngest, you’ll own end-to-end technical engagement with prospective customers — from discovery through proof-of-concept to deal close. You’ll combine some of the responsibilities of a solutions engineer, technical account executive, and customer advocate.

In Short

• Own and drive a pipeline of technically sophisticated enterprise / mid-market accounts
• Lead technical discovery conversations, deeply understand customer architecture, constraints, and decision processes
• Partner with founders and marketing to craft compelling ROI/technical proposals and solution sell stories
• Lead or support proof-of-concept (POC) engagements: design, architecture review, benchmarks, integrations
• Influence procurement, legal, security, and IT stakeholders on technical due diligence
• Act as the technical voice in sales cycles, fielding architecture questions, performance, scale, security concerns
• Help build or influence reusable artifacts (demos, templates, solution guides, reference code) that scale across deals
• Work with product & engineering to triage feedback, prioritize features, and shape our roadmap based on customer needs

Requirements

• Previous experience working at a Seed or Series A company
• 4+ years hands-on experience in a product-led growth selling motion as a pre-sales, solutions engineering, systems engineering, or technical AE role
• Comfortable with code, APIs, SDKs, integrations, architecture reviews (you might need to dig into TypeScript, Python, Golang, or cloud infra)
• Experience working with developer or infrastructure platforms, event-driven architectures, data pipelines, or backend systems
• Excellent communication skills — able to translate technical nuance into business value and ROI stories
• Empathy for developers and a strong sense of developer experience
• Self-starter mindset — comfortable in ambiguity and creating process where none exists
• Ability to work remotely with alignment across timezones; ideally overlapping U.S. business hours

Benefits

• This is a high-leverage, high-autonomy role.
• You'll be helping customers use one of their most loved technical products.
• Eligible for commission based off of deals closed.
