Join SADA as a Customer Engineer!

Your Mission

As a Customer Engineer at SADA, you will work collaboratively with other architects and engineers to design, prototype, and inspire clients into Google Cloud services and properties. You will partner directly with sales teams, Google, and clients to qualify potential engagements, craft robust proposals, and deliver proposals plus contracts on which engineering teams can successfully execute. You are hands-on, able to conduct experiments, and build functioning prototypes that prove out ideas and build confidence in the solutions you advocate.

You will direct early-stage opportunity/technical objectives calls and requests, as well as be a focused resource through the entire client lifecycle.

Pathway to Success

#BeAChangeAgent: You think out in front of our delivery organization, meeting with the spectrum of internal stakeholders and both small and large clients that need our Professional Services. You will have your finger on the pulse of their technical needs and take pride in helping them solve their real-world problems with Google Cloud.

You focus on doing what is best for the client. You consult and guide - in a prescriptive manner.

Expectations

Required Travel - Please expect about 25% travel to client sites, conferences, and other related events.

Client Facing - You will interact with clients on a regular basis, often daily, other times weekly/bi-weekly. Common touch points occur when qualifying potential opportunities, throughout the sales motions, and periodically through the lifecycle of a client account. You can expect to interact with a range of client stakeholders, including engineers, technical project managers, and executives.

Onboarding/Training - The first several weeks of onboarding are dedicated to learning and will encompass learning materials/assignments and compliance training, as well as meetings with relevant individuals. Details of the timeline are shared closer to the start date.
