Job Description

About the Role

The Senior Solutions Engineer role at Tabnine is pivotal in driving the company's go-to-market strategy, focusing on selling real-world Generative AI solutions to large engineering organizations. This role is not just about individual developer productivity but about integrating AI systems into the broader enterprise context. The successful candidate will be part of a team that is revolutionizing how software development is approached, making AI more reliable, safe, and effective.

As a Senior Solutions Engineer, you will work closely with the sales team to understand complex customer environments and map those requirements to the right Tabnine solution. This involves a deep understanding of the software development lifecycle, the ability to articulate technical solutions, and the capacity to drive technical strategy from the first meeting through to the close and expansion of sales.

The role covers the US region, requiring the ability to partner with sales teams, run technical discovery, demos, architecture conversations, and rollout planning with engineering leadership and other key stakeholders. The ideal candidate has a software development or DevOps background and a proven track record in solution engineering, particularly in front of enterprise engineering buyers.

What You Will Do

  • Own the technical evaluation components of the sales process for accounts across your assigned territory.
  • Partner closely with Account Executives to drive technical strategy from the first meeting through close and expansion.

  • Articulate the various Tabnine deployment options, including SaaS, VPC, on-premises, and fully air-gapped deployments.
  • Run live demos and POVs that demonstrate how the Enterprise Context Engine helps AI tools understand system boundaries, dependencies, architectural patterns, code review signals, and organizational memory.
  • Define and execute a scalable POV program with clear success criteria tied to buyer concerns such as first-pass acceptance, review cycles, rework, time to resolution, and policy/compliance coverage.
  • Help customers understand how Tabnine can improve the tools they already use, rather than forcing a rip-and-replace approach.
  • Work across repositories, code review, CI/CD, documentation, ticketing, and other systems that shape software development inside the customer environment.
  • Define and execute techniques to scale 1:1 conversations to 1:many, such as recorded webinars, POV templates, workshops, white papers, or other creative scaling techniques.
  • Meet or exceed revenue and pipeline goals as part of a sales team.
  • Evangelize AI-powered software development through keynotes, webinars, field events, social media, or other technical audience promotion techniques.
  • Track and provide feedback to Product and Engineering on customer usage patterns, deployment blockers, feature requests, and competitive intelligence.

What We Are Looking For

  • A deep knowledge of the software development lifecycle with hands-on experience in software development.
  • 7+ years in Solutions Engineering, Sales Engineering, or Solutions Architecture.
  • Proven track record in solution engineering, especially in front of enterprise engineering buyers.
  • Strong understanding of DevOps practices and tools.
  • Excellent communication and presentation skills.
  • Ability to work in a fast-paced environment and adapt to changing priorities.
  • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills.

How to Stand Out
