    Principal Sales Engineer (with Forward-Deployed Engineer Responsibilities)

    About SupportLogic

    SupportLogic is the leading enterprise Support Intelligence platform, helping the world's most demanding B2B companies turn unstructured support signals into proactive action. Built on a CRM-Less Architecture with a Snowflake-backed Data Cloud, our platform spans Cognitive AI Cloud, Voice Agent, MCP Server, CRM Widgets, and a deep integrations hub- meeting customers where their data already lives instead of forcing them to rebuild on legacy ticketing systems.

    We are at an inflection point. As enterprises move toward agent-first, headless support architectures, SupportLogic is defining the category. We are looking for a Principal Sales Engineer who is genuinely technical, deeply curious, and equally comfortable in a customer boardroom or a customer's production VPC.

    Overview of the role

    This is a hybrid role designed for an exceptional technologist who wants the variety of pre-sales without giving up the depth of engineering. As a Principal Sales Engineer at SupportLogic, you will own the technical relationship with strategic prospects and customers- running architecture discussions, designing integrations, and proving value through hands-on POCs. When the deal closes (or when the customer needs us most), you'll switch hats and embed as a Forward-Deployed Engineer: writing code, shaping data pipelines, building custom integrations, and ensuring the customer realizes value in weeks, not quarters.

    If you've ever been frustrated by the artificial wall between pre-sales and post-sales engineering- this role removes it.

    What you get to do in this role

    Pre-Sales / Sales Engineering

    • Partner with Account Directors across the full sales cycle- discovery, technical qualification, demos, architecture deep-dives, RFPs, and security reviews.
    • Translate customer pain (ticket deflection, escalation prediction, voice quality, agent productivity) into a tailored SupportLogic solution architecture.
    • Design and execute proofs of concept against real customer data- including connecting Salesforce, Zendesk, ServiceNow, Jira, Slack, and voice telephony sources.
    • Lead technical conversations on our CRM-Less Architecture, Snowflake Data Cloud, MCP Server, Voice Agent, and Cognitive AI Cloud- articulating why SupportLogic complements (and where appropriate, replaces) legacy CRM-bound approaches.
    • Own the technical narrative in competitive deals against Salesforce, ServiceNow, and emerging AI-native players.

    Forward-Deployed Engineering

    • Embed directly with strategic customers to accelerate time-to-value- writing production-quality code, building custom integrations, and shipping bespoke workflows on top of our platform.
    • Build, debug, and harden data pipelines into Snowflake; tune signal extraction, sentiment, and predictive models against the customer's actual support corpus.
    • Develop reference implementations against our MCP Server and APIs; prototype agentic workflows that customers can adopt and extend.
    • Be the engineer-in-the-room during high-stakes implementations: triage issues live, propose fixes, and drive them to closure with Product and Engineering.
    • Feed the loop back: turn field learnings into product requirements, reusable assets, and demo environments that lift the entire team.

    Requirements

    To be successful in this role you have:

    • 7+ years in a technical, customer-facing role (Sales Engineering, Solutions Consulting, Solutions Architecture, Forward-Deployed Engineering, Professional Services, or a hybrid of the above).
    • Hands-on coding ability. You should be comfortable shipping Python (or equivalent) in front of a customer, not just reading it.
    • Working fluency with SQL and modern data platforms (Snowflake strongly preferred)
    • Deep familiarity with at least one major CRM or ITSM ecosystem (Salesforce Service Cloud, Zendesk, ServiceNow, or Jira Service Management)- including their APIs, data models, and limitations.
    • Experience integrating SaaS systems via REST APIs, webhooks, and event streams; comfort with auth patterns (OAuth, JWT, SSO/SAML).
    • Strong grasp of how modern AI/LLM systems are built and deployed in the enterprise (RAG, embeddings, evals, agentic workflows, MCP), and the practical tradeoffs of each.
    • Excellent written and verbal communication. You can run a whiteboard with a CTO in the morning and a working session with a data engineer in the afternoon.
    • Location Requirement: Employment is limited to individuals residing in the following states: Arizona, California, Colorado, Massachusetts, Minnesota, North Carolina, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Texas, Washington, and West Virginia (Pacific time zone preferred).
    • Willingness to travel for customer engagements.

    Nice-to-haves:

    • Prior experience in the customer support, contact center, or CX analytics space.
    • Background in NLP, speech analytics, or applied ML.
    • Exposure to voice/telephony platforms (Genesys, NICE, Five9, Amazon Connect, Twilio).
    • Experience selling or implementing into Fortune 500 enterprise IT and support organizations.
    • Open-source contributions, technical blog posts, or conference talks.
