We're looking for a talented generalist that would be excited to take on a role that blends two very different fields: the Sales Engineer. Your job will be to support our sales team in all aspects to close deals, but you will especially focus on being the product and technical master in the sales process. Combined with your killer communication skills, your specialized knowledge will be a key resource in getting new deals signed, so you will have a direct impact on Bluecore's bottom-line. This is a fantastic opportunity to join the team early, as the first Sales Engineer reporting to the head of Sales Engineering.

Your Job Responsibilities

• Supporting Sales Account Executives with your product knowledge and technical knowledge, helping pitch Bluecore's marketing technology to world-leading companies, especially in eCommerce.
• Assertively being the main authority in sales meetings for all product and technology-related topics.
• Delivering technical and/or product presentations that demonstrate the value of the Bluecore platform.
• Communicating highly technical concepts to a variety of audiences, from software engineers to executive-level decision-makers.
• Analyzing and evaluating the technical structure of the websites of prospects, to ensure compatibility with Bluecore technology.
• Managing the Bluecore demo environment to ensure that our team delivers great product demos.
• Training and enabling the sales team, specifically pertaining to the topics of product, technology, and competitive positioning.
• Working cross-functionally between teams, including sales, marketing, product, and engineering.

• Developing small-scale coding projects that support Bluecore demo processes and front-end PoCs, as needed.

• Experience with Javascript programming is a significant plus.
• World-class written and verbal communication. You will be writing and talking a lot, so this is one of the most important aspects of the job.
• An ability to simplify complex topics, and always relate technical explanations back to the business value of the product.
• Quick, on-your-feet thinking, especially in meetings where you might be asked rapid-fire questions.
• Problem-solving skills that enable you to identify the best solutions, given a list of prospect business requirements.
• An intrinsic curiosity and desire to always learn more, in order to keep up with both Bluecore's rapid pace of development and the broader industry.

• Must be comfortable working day-to-day with cloud-based workflow tools, such as Salesforce, Google Apps, and Slack.
• Bachelor's-level education, combined with any sort of technical background, whether that be a formal degree, work experience, or personal projects. You need not be an engineer, but you must be a general technologist.
• Ability to travel 5% and authorization to work in the USA.

• Highly competitive compensation package and opportunity to work for one of the fastest growing start-ups in New York City.
• Laid-back office, casual attire. Jeans and a t-shirt always OK, though we have some pretty snappy dressers on this team. The choice is yours.
