About the role

Technically credible, commercially astute, and operationally independent Solutions Engineer to strengthen the EMEA commercial organization by translating technical architecture decisions into deployable capabilities and guiding opportunities from discovery to close.

Responsibilities

  • Own technical discovery and qualification for EMEA opportunities, assessing application, infrastructure, security, integration, and deployment fit.
  • Develop proposed architectures covering cloud, networking, identity, integrations, data residency, sovereignty, and security, tailored to each customer’s environment.
  • Deliver demonstrations, run proofs of value, and facilitate approved non-production evaluations for software vendors, defense-tech companies, regulated enterprises, and government customers.
  • Identify technical blockers, dependencies, product gaps, and delivery assumptions before commitments are made, coordinating with Platform Engineering on feasibility and effort.
  • Support technical RFI/RFP, security, partner, and architecture responses; represent Second Front at customer workshops and technical events.
  • Build reusable demos, reference architectures, and discovery materials, and maintain clear technical notes on active opportunities.
  • Feed recurring field requirements back to Product and Engineering, and deliver clean technical handoffs to Platform Engineering, implementation, and delivery teams after close.
  • Partner with the commercial team and Head of EMEA through qualification, proposal, and procurement, supporting negotiation on technical matters.
  • Translate customer accreditation and security requirements into realistic deployment schedules, working with Platform Engineering to resolve conflicts between engineering timelines and customer go-live dates.
  • Align engineering roadmap priorities with regional customer needs and accreditation windows (e.g., NATO, UK MOD, or equivalent sovereign/government certification frameworks), sequencing feature delivery accordingly.
  • Broker resolution of technical-feasibility and resource-allocation conflicts between Product/Platform Engineering and customer security officers, so accreditation blockers get resolved before they delay field deployment.

Qualifications

  • 3+ years in a technical customer-facing role — solutions engineering, sales engineering, solutions architecture, or technical pre-sales.
  • At least 2 years of hands-on experience with AWS, Azure, or GCP, and strong cloud infrastructure knowledge.
  • Hands-on familiarity with containers, CI/CD, infrastructure as code, networking, IAM, and APIs.
  • Working ability with scripting or software development, sufficient to troubleshoot integrations, applications, and cloud environments.
  • Ability to develop credible technical designs without creating unsupported bespoke commitments.
  • Ability to troubleshoot technical issues across application and infrastructure layers during evaluations.
  • Strong written and verbal technical communication, with the ability to work effectively with engineers, security teams, architects, procurement stakeholders, and government customers.
  • Fluent English, existing work authorization (residency-based) in your EU country of employment, and willingness to travel across EMEA.
