Sales Engineer

About the company

The company is a market-leading SaaS solution that enables senior living communities to better care for their residents. The company is used in over 8,000 communities. We're looking to further expand by increasing the number of customers that use our software and increasing the scope of how we serve our customers by developing and releasing new products.

Senior living is deeply under-penetrated with software and the company is one of the largest and fastest-growing software companies in the industry. We recently raised a growth round of equity to reinvest in our product, technology, and go-to-market. Our mission is to build world-class software that improves the quality of life for seniors and improves clinical, business, compliance, and operational performance for our customers.

Role Overview

The Sales Engineer will serve as a strategic technical advisor throughout the sales process, partnering closely with Account Executives and the Director of Solutions Engineering to help senior living operators evaluate the company's platform. This role extends well beyond product demonstrations—it requires the ability to understand complex operational challenges, develop solution strategies, and communicate how the company improves clinical, operational, financial, and business outcomes.

The ideal candidate will already possess a strong understanding of the senior living industry and be comfortable engaging executive stakeholders, including clinical leaders, operations, finance, IT, and ownership groups. They should be an exceptional storyteller who can tailor demonstrations around each prospect's goals, connecting the company's capabilities to measurable business value rather than simply showcasing features.

This individual will play a foundational role in scaling the Solutions Engineering organization and elevating the sophistication of our technical sales process.
