Sales Engineer (API Solutions)

About Us

​

We are a fast-growing data-as-a-service provider helping businesses access high-quality business data via a robust REST API. Our platform is trusted by many leading companies in their field to power intelligent decisions, automation, and AI applications. We are now expanding our sales team with a technically skilled Sales Engineer to help customers succeed from day one.

​

Your Role

​

As a Sales Engineer, you will work closely with our sales team to identify customer needs, explore potential solutions using our API, and ensure a smooth technical onboarding experience. You will be the trusted technical advisor during the sales process and an essential bridge between commercial teams and our customers' developers or product teams.

​

Key Responsibilities

​

• Partner with (key) account executives to understand customer goals and technical requirements
• Explain API capabilities, data models, and integration workflows in a clear, customer-centric way
• Evaluate customer challenges and propose tailored solutions using our REST API and MCP
• Assist customers with initial setup and integration steps, guiding them through the documentation and best practices
• Troubleshoot early implementation issues and coordinate with internal technical teams if needed
• Deliver demos, proof-of-concept support, and API walkthroughs
• Capture feedback and collaborate with product teams to inform roadmap improvements

​

What We’re Looking For

​

• Solid understanding of APIs, REST, JSON, authentication (OAuth, API keys), and data workflows
• Experience working in a technical customer-facing role such as Sales Engineer, Solutions Engineer, Technical Consultant, or Developer Advocate
• Strong communication and interpersonal skills — able to explain technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders
• Comfortable debugging basic integration issues (e.g., API calls, response errors, authentication problems)
• Familiarity with Postman or similar API tools is a plus
• Bonus: knowledge of data pipelines, B2B data, or data integration platforms
