Meet the job

As a Senior Solutions Engineer in the Solutions Engineering team, it’s your goal to design the prospect’s end-state solution together with the prospect. By having a solid understanding of the prospect’s challenges and value to be realised you propose the right solution. You will be part of the Solutions Engineering team (Sales) and the larger Solutions Group in which you will fulfill a leading role only gained by excellent performance. Talking technical details while linking them to business outcomes, you comfortably translate requirements into distinguished solutions.

Whether you talk to the board of directors, department heads or engineering teams, you turn every red light green. You love to travel and stay abroad. We work on a global scale, so if you don’t already own a platinum flying card, you will within a year.

You will join prospects in their exploration of Backbase products, that will help them to achieve their digital ambitions. As an all-round expert on digital transformations, you navigate through the full sales cycle, from doing technology deep dives and leading proof of concepts, to leading workshops and generating feedback. Your performance blows each prospect off its feet. And we do need a little extra more.

When we mention a getting-things-done mentality, you immediately recognize yourself. Not only do you feel comfortable talking business, you’re also a congenial companion during coffee breaks. And let’s not forget your organizing skills. Those skills, by the way, also come in handy when planning leisure time, because if we send you to the other end of the world and overload you with work, we do understand that you might want to loosen up afterward and explore the surroundings.

You will share your time between Italy and the EMEA region. You will join a highly motivated global team with like-minded people that are spread across the globe. Currently our team is spread across Amsterdam, London, Dubai, Atlanta, Boise, Toronto, Singapore and Sydney.
