About the Role:

Trase is looking for a customer-facing Sales Engineer/Solution Architect who can partner with Sales to translate customer needs into clear product use cases, design technical solutions, and build rapid demos that help customers understand what’s possible. This role blends technical solutioning, product thinking, and polished customer communication. You'll be a key bridge between prospects/customers, Sales, Product, and Engineering.

What you'll do:

• Partner with Sales on discovery calls, technical deep-dives, and evaluations; clarify requirements and success criteria.
• Translate customer problems into product use cases, solution approaches, and scoped implementation plans.
• Explain Trase’s platform and agent capabilities to technical and non-technical stakeholders.
• Build rapid demo mock-ups and proof-of-concepts (including lightweight “cloud code”/scripted demos) to validate workflows and accelerate deals.
• Own and evolve demo assets: reusable scenarios, sample data, reference architectures, and competitive positioning.
• Write clear artifacts: requirements summaries, solution proposals, architecture diagrams, and handoff docs for delivery teams.
• Partner with Product on feedback loops: surface recurring needs, prioritize gaps, and propose roadmap opportunities grounded in customer signal.
• Support delivery handoff: ensure Engineering has the context needed to implement what was sold (and that commitments match reality).

What we’re looking for:
