It is an exciting, global, results-oriented, and growing team that works closely together to help enterprise organizations to make better business decisions to support diverse business outcomes.

The Impact: Solutions Engineers serve as subject matter experts for our powerful, complex solutions, as well as their relevant applications in the marketplace. We support specific personas within various industry segments such as corporates, transportation/logistics firms, financial institutions, governments, military and law enforcement agencies, academia and others.

• Client-facing impact: You enjoy working directly with decision makers and end users to help them to interpret and apply the intelligence gained from our powerful solutions to make more informed business decisions.
• Empowerment: You like thinking critically about the unique needs at hand and working independently and collaboratively to come up with creative approaches to solve a given pain point or obstacle.
• Commercial success: You take personal satisfaction in the success of supporting business wins without the pressure of a direct quota/commission structure.
• Entrepreneurial, innovative culture: You like the challenge of working in an environment that is ever evolving: enhancing our solutions, refining our processes, adapting our strategy.
• Career growth: Our most successful Solutions Engineers master the areas of data analysis, public speaking and presentation development, interpersonal skills including objection handling, probing questions and being able to simplify complex concepts. We learn from each other on the job and progress into the role over time through immersion in our company culture and business activities.

• Effective communicator: You continually refine your communication skills so that your delivery is clear, concise, effective, and interactive.
• Self-starter: You are assertive about your learning and career growth and work closely with your manager and peers across the global team to seek what you need to be successful.
• Intellectually curious: You eagerly embrace new concepts and actively seek to make connections between disparate ideas. You follow current events and trends and use our solutions to quantify and contextualize business headlines.
• Open collaborator: None of our colleagues have become successful in a vacuum. You participate in the collaboration that allows us to share ideas and information freely across the global network, taking advantage of pockets of expertise to keep advancing our knowledge and ideas.
• Results oriented: You can deliver specific business outcomes within a defined deadline to specifications.
• Organized: You make your availability known to your stakeholders, show up on time and prepared to internal and external meetings.
