Senior Sales Engineer

Lead technical pre-sales engagements — partner with Sales and Product to architect high-impact solutions that align with client goals, data realities, and Wand’s differentiators.

Design and deliver lightweight, believable prototypes that prove Wand’s unique capabilities — from legal document parsing to agentic workflow automation.

Own the “Proof-to-Contract” motion — help clients define what must be proven technically (accuracy, scalability, adaptability) to justify commercial commitment.

Act as a consultative discovery partner — uncover what customers really need, not just what they ask for, and reframe “fishing expedition” demos into contract-worthy hypotheses.

Build reusable demo systems and technical frameworks that make it faster for the next SE to spin up an environment, run a workflow, or connect a customer dataset.

Contribute Python scripts, API workflows, and reference architectures that showcase best practices for integrating Wand into client ecosystems.

Mentor and scale a small, high-performing team of Sales Engineers — establishing standards for demo quality, engagement discipline, and technical storytelling.

Collaborate cross-functionally with Product and Engineering to channel field feedback into roadmap priorities and product enablement.

Develop and document playbooks — from demo readiness and proof scoping to customer engineering rituals — building the foundation for a repeatable SE function.

Represent Wand externally — lead workshops, client sessions, and conference demos that position Wand as the most capable, credible applied AI partner in the market.
