Senior Solution Engineer
WFA Digital Insight
UiPath’s Senior Solution Engineer sits at the intersection of technical depth and sales execution, a blend that few remote roles demand. The position is anchored in Johannesburg‑based remote work, but the real draw is the hands‑on responsibility for guiding prospects through a full automation sales cycle—from business requirement analysis to solution articulation and final adoption. Candidates will find the daily mix of consulting‑style discovery, product demos, and collaborative engineering work with delivery and professional services teams unusually rich for a presales title. Fluency in both English and Arabic adds a regional nuance, while the expectation to evangelise through webinars, blogs and events signals a role that values thought leadership as much as closing revenue. Applicants should be comfortable juggling multiple opportunities, staying current on automation trends, and translating strategic challenges into concrete UiPath capabilities.
