Presales Engineer, software development tools

Position: Presales Engineer, software development tools

Location: Tel-Aviv

Description:

In this role, you will be responsible for presales, providing technical guidance to potential customers throughout a sales cycle. You will be working for a software vendor rated highly by market research companies, their products in use by companies including Microsoft, Siemens & CERN. You will have the advantage of being home based, travelling to customers throughout Israel as required.

This role will see you working with potential customers (typically large software development teams) to understand their business and technical requirements, and deliver technical proof of concepts in a presales capacity.

This vendor develops a suite of products to enable development teams to understand vulnerabilities in source code. The solution fits in as part of a wider framework to support the process of automatically reducing defects in code prior to release, improving integrity and security.

This software vendor has strong financial backing, and with over 10 years of growth behind them, they are looking to bring on board a presales engineer to work in partnership with a sales manager.

To be successful, it is essential that you have in some time in your career come from a software development background (in C, C++, C# or Java). You may have moved into managing teams of developers or into senior individual contributor roles (technical project management, presales engineer or architect). Either way, the ideal person for this role would be someone who enjoys using their technical knowledge and blending this with business experience, in a customer-facing role.
