This role offers the opportunity to influence product strategy, shape technical best practices, and contribute to the growth of a developer-focused SaaS platform.
Accountabilities:
- Lead technical discovery sessions to understand prospects' business objectives, existing architectures, operational challenges, and success criteria, connecting technical requirements to measurable business outcomes.
- Design and present tailored solution architectures that align with customer technology stacks, content operations, business constraints, and strategic priorities.
- Develop and deliver compelling product demonstrations, including interactive web front-end prototypes using modern frameworks.
- Scope and manage Proof of Outcomes engagements by defining measurable success criteria, coordinating with prospects, and collaborating with Forward Deployed Engineers on implementation activities.
- Facilitate technical workshops and in-depth discussions with executives, architects, developers, and content teams, adapting the approach to each audience.
- Lead technical evaluations during late-stage sales opportunities, addressing security, scalability, integrations, migration strategies, and other architectural considerations.
- Partner with Account Executives on account strategies, opportunity qualification, and deal planning to support successful commercial outcomes.
- Share customer feedback, market insights, and competitive intelligence with Product and Engineering teams to influence product improvements and identify opportunities for innovation.
- Ensure smooth transitions from sales to onboarding by documenting commitments, agreed outcomes, and success criteria.
- Advise new customers on architecture decisions, including content modeling, schema design, localization, front-end technologies, and third-party integrations.
- Collaborate with Customer Success Managers and Forward Deployed Engineers on complex technical projects, customer adoption, and expansion opportunities.
- Develop and maintain reference architectures, reusable technical assets, best-practice guidance, and internal playbooks that strengthen delivery throughout the customer lifecycle.
- At least 5 years of experience in a customer-facing technical role, such as solutions engineering, sales engineering, solutions architecture, or technical consulting, including at least 3 years in B2B pre-sales for an API-first or developer-focused SaaS product.
- Strong working knowledge of GraphQL, modern web architectures, and frameworks such as React, Next.js, and Svelte, along with composable and headless technology approaches.
- A consultative mindset, with the ability to lead discovery through thoughtful questioning, understand business challenges, and communicate the value and impact of technical solutions.
- Proven experience scoping and delivering proofs of concept or pilot projects with clearly defined, measurable success criteria.
- Excellent communication and presentation skills, with the ability to explain complex technical concepts to executive, technical, and editorial audiences.
- A solid understanding of content strategy and content operations, including the ability to guide customers in making effective content modeling and schema design decisions.
- Strong business acumen and analytical skills, with the ability to identify root causes, prioritize customer challenges, and align proposed solutions with functional requirements, technical constraints, and strategic objectives.
- Experience collaborating across Sales, Customer Success, Product, and Engineering teams to deliver cohesive customer experiences.
- A proactive, solution-oriented approach, strong attention to detail, and creative problem-solving abilities.
- Excellent written and spoken English.
- Willingness to travel occasionally to meet customers and prospects in person.
- Demonstrated ability to work effectively with remote, globally distributed teams across different time zones.
- Experience with headless CMS platforms, digital experience platforms (DXP), or composable architectures is an advantage.
- Familiarity with enterprise sales cycles, complex buying committees, procurement processes, and security reviews is beneficial.
- Experience working with forward-deployed engineering, professional services, or delivery teams is a plus.
- Knowledge of AI tools, LLM-powered content workflows, or the Model Context Protocol (MCP) is desirable.
- Additional experience in CMS migrations, enterprise architecture consulting, digital transformation strategy, design systems, design thinking, or service design is beneficial.
- Candidates who meet some, but not all, of the listed requirements are encouraged to apply if they bring relevant experience and transferable skills.
- Annual compensation of $140,000–$160,000, as advertised in the source listing; the original listing labels this range as monthly, so the compensation period should be confirmed.
- Remote-first working environment with flexibility to work across a globally distributed team.
- Annual learning budget to support professional development, training, and conference attendance.
- Opportunities to collaborate with international colleagues across Sales, Product, Engineering, and Customer Success.
- Exposure to enterprise customers, complex technical challenges, and innovative content technologies.
