About Thunder is a Salesforce-native systems integrator backed by Salesforce Ventures. We help growing companies design, build, and run Salesforce so it actually moves their business.

As our Solution Engineer, you are the technical lead in every pursuit.

Configure tailored demos and proofs of concept in Salesforce orgs that speak to the client's own data and workflows. Scope and estimate. Own level-of-effort estimates, assumptions, and risks; draft SOWs and solution sections of proposals and RFP responses with Delivery. Partner with Salesforce. Work alongside Salesforce AEs and SEs on joint pursuits, and earn a reputation as their go-to partner technical resource. Hand off cleanly. Transfer context to Delivery at close so projects start with clear scope, architecture, and expectations. Sharpen the playbook. Build reusable demo assets, estimation templates, and solution accelerators; give product and positioning feedback to leadership.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

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.
