Enterprise Sales Engineer DDI for DACH
WFA Digital Insight
Bluecatnetworks is looking for a senior‑level Sales Engineer who will own the technical conversation for DDI (DNS, DHCP, IPAM) across the DACH market. Unlike a typical pre‑sales role, this position spans discovery, proof‑of‑value, and post‑sale expansion, demanding deep networking knowledge and the ability to translate complex architecture into clear business outcomes. The candidate will sit at the intersection of sales, product, and engineering, shaping product direction while guiding customers through API‑driven automation and cloud integrations. Fluency in German and residency in the DACH region are non‑negotiable, reflecting the need for close, trusted advisory relationships. Candidates should be comfortable leading workshops, influencing senior stakeholders, and feeding real‑world feedback back into the product roadmap.
Job Description
We're BlueCat—a Great Place to Work for good reason. Our team solves critical network challenges for some of the world's largest organizations. In simple terms, we manage the systems that keep networks running smoothly, securely, and reliably—the backbone infrastructure that powers digital transformation for enterprises globally. Our Intelligent Network Operations platform delivers and enables AI-driven agentic ops at scale, automating and simplifying how companies manage, secure, and optimize their networks.
But what makes us different is how we work: we believe great work happens in an environment where you're trusted, heard, and supported. With teams globally, we're building a workplace culture that values collaboration and integrity as much as innovation. If you're looking to advance your career with a company that invests in its people, this is it.
We are seeking a consultative, customer-focused Sales Engineer to help enterprise organizations modernize their infrastructure operations through API-driven automation, AI-assisted operational intelligence, and integrated DDI solutions.
This role goes far beyond traditional pre-sales engineering. You will serve as a trusted advisor to customers throughout the customer lifecycle — from discovery and evaluation through adoption, operational success, and expansion. You’ll collaborate closely with Sales, Product Management, Engineering, Professional Services, Customer Success, and GTM teams to help customers simplify operations, accelerate automation, improve security posture, and drive measurable business value.
Whether you are a Network Engineer, Infrastructure Engineer, Systems Architect, Automation Engineer, or customer-facing technical consultant with strong networking and cloud expertise, we want to hear from you.
Please note that only candidates residing in the DACH region and fluent in German will be contacted.

Advise customers on infrastructure modernization
- Lead consultative discovery sessions on cloud transformation, automation, and resiliency
- Advise on modern DDI architectures across hybrid and multi-cloud environments

- Partner with Customer Success and Professional Services through deployment and expansion
Drive collaboration and market influence
- Collaborate with Product, Engineering, Marketing, and GTM to shape product direction
- Provide feedback on automation capabilities, API usability, and cloud integrations
- Contribute to enablement content, architecture guidance, and thought leadership
- Participate in customer advisory engagements, webinars, and industry events
- Identify expansion opportunities across the broader BlueCat platform portfolio
- Manage engagements and opportunity updates in Salesforce and collaboration tools
- 3+ years in sales engineering, infrastructure/network engineering, technical consulting, or customer-facing architecture roles
- Experience designing enterprise solutions for networking, cloud, security, automation, or systems integration
- Bachelor's in Computer Science, IT, Engineering, or related field — or equivalent practical experience
- Strong consultative and relationship-building skills with enterprise stakeholders
- Executive communication skills — able to simplify complex technical concepts for diverse audiences
- Proven ability to align technical solutions with business outcomes and strategic priorities
- Comfortable in a remote-first environment with moderate travel
- Strong understanding of DNS, DHCP, and IP Address Management (DDI) platforms
- Enterprise networking and network infrastructure operations
- Experience with hybrid and multi-cloud environments
- API-driven infrastructure and automation frameworks
- Infrastructure-as-Code and orchestration technologies
- Network security and operational resiliency strategies
- Linux/UNIX platforms and systems administration
- Scripting, automation, and systems integration
- Virtualization and cloud-native technologies
Nice to haves:
- Familiarity with AI-assisted operations, infrastructure intelligence, and operational analytics
- Experience integrating infrastructure platforms with cloud providers and security tools
- Hands-on experience with orchestration platform integrations and IT operations ecosystems
- Automation workflow design and AI-driven operational tooling
