  What is a Solution Engineer?
  <br/>
  <br/>
 </strong>
 Otherwise known as a " Pre-Sales Engineer" or "Sales Consultant," the Solution Engineer is responsible for presenting product offerings and architecture in the best light to prospects and customers, to evoke confidence in company&rsquo;s technology infrastructure, and to remove all technical objections in the sales cycle. To accomplish this, the Solution Engineer must have a strong desire to leverage their technical and/or sales skills, including the ability to solicit business requirements, develop a technical sales strategy, configure and effectively demonstrate the solutions that address these requirements and provide business value.
 <br/>

 <strong>
  Success Graduate Program
  <br/>
  <br/>
 </strong>
 The Success Graduate Program is uniquely designed for early career candidates. It will give you exposure to a myriad of solutions that create business value for our customers.

  Solution Engineering
  <br/>
  <br/>
 </strong>
 The Solution Engineering (SE) team is a group of professionals that have one foot in the technology camp, and one in the commercial side of the business. We are experts in Salesforce&rsquo;s applications, platform, and technology, but explain it in terms of the business impact and value it delivers. SEs work primarily with the account teams to give our customers the confidence to move forward with their projects using Salesforce as their preferred technology. The key to this is unearthing and understanding the customer&rsquo;s business imperatives. This is done through research, discovery engagements, workshops, and spending time with key stakeholders. We then map Salesforce&rsquo;s technology to these imperatives and prove how Salesforce uniquely addresses the customer&rsquo;s requirements. This proof can be as simple as a one-off meeting or involve a complex account strategy involving large teams.
 <br/>
 <br/>
 What will you be doing?
 <br/>
 <br/>
 <ul>
  <li>
   Assist with hands-on product workshops and education sessions
  </li>
  <li>
   Assist sales teams with product demo design, build, and delivery
  </li>
  <li>
   Assist sales teams in responses to customer RFPs and requirements documents.

   Work closely with other groups within Salesforce (e.g. alliances, sales effectiveness, product marketing, etc..) to develop and execute solutions programs and initiatives.
  </li>
  <li>
   Participate in all appropriate product, sales, and procedural training and certification to acquire and maintain the knowledge necessary to be effective in the position.
  </li>
  <li>
   Cover trade show booth shifts. Responsibilities include answering technical questions and demonstrating Salesforce solutions to customers and prospects.
  </li>
  <li>
   Attain quarterly and annual objectives assigned by management.

  <li>
   You are inquisitive, curious, and approach work with humility, determination, and grit.

  <li>
   You are passionate about helping people through technology.
  </li>

  </li>
  <li>
   You value inclusivity and equality for all - in your community and where you work.

     <br/>
    </strong>
   </strong>
  </strong>
 </strong>
 Salesforce is an equal opportunity employer and maintains a policy of non-discrimination with all employees and applicants for employment. What does that mean exactly? It means that at Salesforce, we believe in equality for all. And we believe we can lead the path to equality in part by creating a workplace that&rsquo;s inclusive, and free from discrimination. Know your rights: workplace discrimination is illegal. Any employee or potential employee will be assessed on the basis of merit, competence and qualifications &ndash; without regard to race, religion, color, national origin, sex, sexual orientation, gender expression or identity, transgender status, age, disability, veteran or marital status, political viewpoint, or other classifications protected by law. This policy applies to current and prospective employees, no matter where they are in their Salesforce employment journey. It also applies to recruiting, hiring, job assignment, compensation, promotion, benefits, training, assessment of job performance, discipline, termination, and everything in between. Recruiting, hiring, and promotion decisions at Salesforce are fair and based on merit. The same goes for compensation, benefits, promotions, transfers, reduction in workforce, recall, training, and education.
 <br/>
 <br/>
 In the United States, compensation offered will be determined by factors such as location, job level, job-related knowledge, skills, and experience. Certain roles may be eligible for incentive compensation, equity, and benefits. Salesforce offers a variety of benefits to help you live well including: time off programs, medical, dental, vision, mental health support, paid parental leave, life and disability insurance, 401(k), and an employee stock purchasing program. More details about company benefits can be found at the following link: https://www.salesforcebenefits.com.Pursuant to the San Francisco Fair Chance Ordinance and the Los Angeles Fair Chance Initiative for Hiring, Salesforce will consider for employment qualified applicants with arrest and conviction records.
 <br/>
 <br/>
 At Salesforce, we believe in equitable compensation practices that reflect the dynamic nature of labor markets across various regions. The typical base salary range for this position is $77,000 - $77,000 annually There is a different range applicable to specific work locations. In California and New York, and select cities in the metropolitan areas of Boston, Chicago, Seattle, and Washington DC, the base pay range for this role in those locations is $84,000 - $84,000 per year. Your recruiter can share more about the specific salary range for the job location during the hiring process. The range represents base salary only, and does not include company bonus, incentive for sales roles, equity or benefits, as applicable.
