Why This Job is Featured on The SaaS Jobs
Enterprise Solution Engineering sits at the intersection of product capability and revenue, and this Senior Solution Engineer role reflects how SaaS platforms win complex, multi-stakeholder decisions. The remit spans value-based demonstrations, enterprise proof of concepts, and executive-level positioning, which are core motions in modern cloud data and analytics buying cycles. With Snowflake operating as a cloud-native data platform, the work is grounded in translating technical differentiation into outcomes across large environments and partner-influenced deals.
For a SaaS career, the long-term value comes from building repeatable pre-sales judgment: diagnosing requirements, shaping solution narratives, and de-risking adoption before contracts are signed. Experience gained here tends to transfer across enterprise SaaS because it sharpens the ability to operate across technical depth, commercial constraints, and stakeholder alignment, while staying current on adjacent technologies and competitive landscapes.
This role suits professionals who enjoy being hands-on in customer conversations and can switch comfortably between whiteboard problem solving and boardroom-level communication. It will fit someone who prefers collaborative deal strategy with Sales and partners, and who likes refining messaging through feedback loops with Product and Engineering. Remote work suggests comfort operating with autonomy and strong internal coordination.
