The posting

Splunk - a Cisco company, provides the Unified Security and Observability Platform. The world’s leading organisations trust Splunk to go from insight to action fast and at scale; organisations such as McLaren, Heineken, and Tesco are turning data into action with Splunk.

Join us as we pursue our innovative vision to make machine data accessible, usable and valuable to everyone. Our company is filled with people passionate about our solutions and seeking to deliver the best experience and outcomes for our customers. At Splunk, we’re committed to our work, customers, having fun and, most importantly, to each other’s success.

This is an opportunity to work at a company that is changing how information supports business decisions and makes the world a more digitally resilient place.

Splunk seeks a highly motivated, outcome-focused individual to join our Solutions

Engineering team as a Solutions Engineer (SE). As a Splunk SE, you’ll be a technical sales resource for the UK Commercial Sales team supporting our clients in the UK. You will be the authority regarding the technical aspects of solutions and how they integrate within our clients' workflow and tooling.

Solutions Engineers must be comfortable building rapport with their client’s technical

staff, serving as a trusted adviser within the accounts that they support. To this extent, communication is key; your ability to communicate well and engage with the right people in the right way in a timely manner is essential to this role.

The SE develops and owns technical proof activities to drive new and expansion

opportunities, increase product usage, and generate new sales pipeline through

workshops, office hours, and Q&A sessions.

In addition to providing technical guidance, Splunk SEs understand their clients'

businesses well and can tailor their solution positioning to both a business and technical audience.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
