Our SEs are value engineers — they own the business case, run discovery, and lead the sales-facing relationship. This role exists to make sure they never have to go it alone on the hardest technical questions: security architecture, cloud infrastructure, data fabric, and system integration. You won’t run the sales cycle. You’ll be the person the team calls in when a prospect’s CISO wants to talk encryption-at-rest, when an IT director wants to whiteboard the integration architecture, or when a technical evaluation needs someone who can speak fluently and credibly about how our platform is actually built. This is a highly technical, highly visible role — internally as the team’s go-to expert, and externally as the voice of technical credibility in our most complex deals. **Work Arrangement:** ​Remote​ This role requires the individual to be based in ​Flexible across U.S. time zones​ time zone **Responsibilities** **Customer-facing technical expertise** - Join customer and prospect calls as the technical deep-dive resource when security, architecture, infrastructure, or integration questions exceed the SE’s scope or require specialist-level depth - Lead or co-lead technical evaluation sessions on cloud architecture, security posture, data architecture, and system integration - Respond to the technical sections of RFPs/RFIs — security questionnaires, architecture diagrams, compliance documentation, integration specifications - Address security and compliance questions from prospects and clients (e.g., ISO 27001, SOC 2, data residency, encryption, identity/access management) **Team Enablement** - Serve as the go-to technical resource for the entire SE team, regardless of which product pillar a given SE covers - Build and maintain technical reference material (architecture diagrams, security FAQs, integration playbooks) the SE team can draw on independently - Coach SEs on how to handle first-line technical questions themselves, escalating only what genuinely needs specialist depth - Keep the team current as the platform’s underlying architecture, cloud infrastructure, or data capabilities evolve **Cross-functional & technical ownership** - Maintain deep working knowledge of our Microsoft Azure cloud environment, platform architecture, data fabric, and API/integration layer - Partner with Product and Engineering to stay ahead of architectural changes, new integrations, and platform roadmap - Liaise with Security, Compliance, and IT teams to keep customer-facing technical answers accurate and current - Represent the technical function credibly in front of client IT, security, and infrastructure teams — often the most technical audience in the room - Perform other duties as assigned to support departmental and company objectives.​ **Qualifications** - ​​Bachelor's Degree​ Computer Science, Engineering, or related technical field, or equivalent experience - 5+ years a technical pre-sales, solutions architecture, or systems architecture role, ideally supporting enterprise SaaS sales to large/complex organizations - Demonstrated experience answering deep technical questions from IT, security, and infrastructure stakeholders — not just product demos - Experience across a full platform/technical stack rather than a single narrow specialty - Strong, current knowledge of Microsoft Azure (architecture, security, identity, networking). Microsoft Azure certification preferred - Working knowledge of data fabric / data architecture concepts and how they apply to enterprise SaaS platforms - Solid grounding in cloud security frameworks and compliance standards (ISO 27001, SOC 2, data residency/privacy requirements) - Strong understanding of APIs, integration patterns, and how enterprise systems connect to a SaaS platform - Strong ability to read and explain architecture diagrams to both technical and semi-technical audiences - Experience translating deep technical concepts into language a CFO, general counsel, or IT director can each act on - Comfortable being the most technical person in the room without needing to own the sales relationship - Strong collaborator — this role succeeds by making the whole SE team better, not by working in isolation - Excellent written and verbal communication; able to produce clear technical documentation - Ability to travel up **​****25–50%****​**as business needs require and for customer engagements - Role requires the following physical capacity:​ ​Sedentary: primarily desk/computer work​ - Must be legally authorized to work in​ ​United States​; ​Elite does not provide employment sponsorship for this position​ **Benefits:** - Competitive Compensation Package ($157,500-$175,000 base salary + variable component) - Comprehensive Healthcare Coverage (Health, Dental, Vision) - Retirement Savings Plan with an Employer Contribution - Professional Development Opportunities - Time Off - Wellness Initiatives - Employee Assistance Program - Generous Global Parental Leave - Calm, free premium subscription - Employee Discount Program *Elite may use technology, including artificial intelligence-enabled tools, to assist in aspects of the recruiting and employment process. These tools are used to support, but not replace, human decision-making.* ***Pleas***
