Key skills for this role
The Sales Engineer, Banking is a technically credible, commercially aware member of the EMEA SE team, responsible for the full technical sales cycle across banking opportunities in Western and Central Europe.
This is not a generalist SE role. You will be expected to engage deeply with treasury operations leads, custody technologists, CISOs, and risk committees inside Tier 1 and Tier 2 banks. You will need to understand how institutional banking technology works — core banking platforms, custody and settlement infrastructure, ISO 20022 and SWIFT messaging, and post-trade workflows — and be able to position Fireblocks clearly within that context. You will work closely with Banking-aligned Sales Directors across your region, taking primary responsibility for technical qualification, PoC delivery, RFP responses, and solution design from first engagement through to onboarding handoff.
