We serve 1000+ global customers with our quality management and clinical data capture software, helping them get their products on the market and keep them there.

Backed by JMI Equity, one of the premier growth equity firms for SaaS companies, Greenlight Guru is growing—and looking for individuals who are difference makers. Is that you? We are looking for a commercially-minded, revenue-driven, highly technical Solutions Engineer to join our organization with a heavy focus on selling to software engineering teams. Reporting to the Director of Product Marketing, you are responsible for translating our product strategy into confident, effective value-based selling. You will work alongside Sales to support live deals, bring product and technical depth into buyer conversations, and turn field experience into reusable assets that scale across GTM. You focus on the last mile of the buying journey - proving technical fit, reducing risk, and helping buyers move forward with confidence. While you are a strategic partner to Sales on active deals, being situated within the Product Marketing team allows you to act as a critical bridge between our product’s capabilities and our market-facing message. You are a technical storyteller who knows how to connect "how it works" with "why it matters." You’ll use real-world deal experience to stress-test and refine our positioning, competitive strategy, and the assets we use to win. Responsibilities Value Selling & Deal Execution You own technical confidence in active deals and are accountable for buyer certainty in our technical fit. Your performance is largely measured by your impact on revenue. - Technical Discovery & Diagnosis: Lead additional deep-dive discovery during demos to uncover a prospect’s current tech stack and pain points. You help diagnose the technical "why" before prescribing a solution. - Value-Based Demonstrations: Deliver demos tailored to the buyer’s specific goals and success criteria. Lead with value and differentiation, not feature walkthroughs. - Trial & Evaluation Ownership: Own the trial experience end-to-end, including setup, guidance, and success criteria. Ensure trials clearly demonstrate value and differentiation. - Technical Deal Support: Act as a persistent partner in the deal, not a one-time resource. Stay current on deal status, identify technical risks, and partner with AEs to move deals forward. - Expansion & RFP Support: Support expansions and at-risk renewals. Partner with AEs and PMM to ensure RFPs have high positioning impact and technical clarity. Technical Assets & Demo Environments You are responsible for maintaining the "technical sales toolkit," ensuring the GTM team has accurate, field-ready assets to sell efficiently. - Scalable Asset Creation: Build and maintain reusable technical sales assets—such as walkthroughs, video snippets, and PoC templates for APIs/integrations—that help the field scale. - Demo Environment Ownership: Maintain stable and accessible demo environments. You ensure demo data supports realistic, value-based storytelling for our core personas. - Demo Narrative: Collaborate with PMM to ensure the core demo narratives are technically accurate and reflect how the product is actually used in the field. Cross-Functional Collaboration & Enablement You act as the resident technical authority, ensuring seamless alignment between the Product, Marketing, and Sales organizations. - Cross-Functional Collaboration: Serve as the trusted technical lead for AEs, AMs, and CSMs. You are a strong collaborator who bridges the gap between technical details and GTM strategy. - Product Readiness: Stay current on what’s shipping and why it matters. Translate new features into demo-ready flows, technical FAQs, and narratives for the GTM team. - Field Intelligence Loop: Serve as the "voice of the buyer." Identify patterns in technical objections or competitive gaps and provide clear, actionable feedback to Product to influence the roadmap. Candidate Profile - Commercially Minded: You understand that technical depth exists to win deals and drive revenue. - Strategic Partner: You know when to lead technically and when to support the broader sales strategy. - Solution Storyteller: You can translate product capabilities into outcomes that actually matter to a buyer. - Ownership Mindset: You treat deals, proof points, and internal process improvements as your personal responsibility. Qualifications - Technical Sales Experience: Proven track record delivering value-led technical demonstrations to software engineers and highly technical buyers, translating complex platform capabilities (APIs, integrations, developer workflows) into clear business and technical outcomes. - Software Development Fluency: Strong working knowledge of modern SDLC practices, including requirements management, Git-based version control, CI/CD workflows, and release processes, with hands-on experience using Jira and similar developer tools (e.g., issue tracking, sprint boards, workflow configuration) in real engineering environments. - API & Integration Literacy: Practical understanding of REST APIs, authentication methods, and system integrations - confident discussing how systems connect, how data flows between platforms, and how traceability or automation is maintained. - Code Familiarity: Hands-on familiarity with code platforms (you have written or actively used code-based tools) and can speak fluently about repositories, commits, pull requests, and automation workflows. - SaaS Background: Experience at a small-to-mid-sized SaaS company where you helped build or refine the SE function, processes, or demo environments - not just operate within an established structure. - Revenue Impact: A clear track record of directly supporting revenue, advancing complex opportunities, and influencing deal outcomes in partnership with Account Executives. - Learning & Ownership Mindset: Thrives in a fast-moving, evolving environment — actively seeks feedback, adapts quickly, rolls with change, and contributes ideas that help the team continuously improve how we sell and deliver technical value. - Nice to Have: Experience in life sciences/medtech environments or running technical proof-of-concepts. Benefits you’ll enjoy: - Flexible Paid Time Off policy and working hours - Home Office stipend for new hires - Multiple Medical Insurance options, plus Dental and Vision - 401k (with company match) - Equity Program Eligibility (based on role and/or tenure) - Paid Maternity and Paternity Leave - Disability insurance
