At Brightfield, we are revolutionizing the way organizations manage their workforce. As a pioneer in workforce analytics, our AI-powered platform, TDX (Talent Data Exchange), helps the world’s largest companies make smarter decisions about how they design, source, and manage their extended workforce.

With over $573B in real-world workforce spend data from 139 countries, we provide the insights our customers need to reduce costs, manage risk, and unlock new levels of agility and performance. Since 2006, we’ve been trusted by the Global 2000 to guide strategic workforce decisions with clarity and confidence.

We are a fully remote team of data-driven innovators, problem solvers, and industry experts who value flexibility, ownership, and continuous learning. At Brightfield, how we work together matters—and we’re building a company where curious, driven people can do their best work.

About the Role

We are seeking a Senior Solutions Engineer to serve as a trusted technical advisor during the sales cycle. This is a customer-facing, high-impact role that blends deep technical expertise with exceptional communication and storytelling skills.

You will partner with Sales, Product, and Customer Success teams to guide prospects through technical evaluations, clearly communicate our architecture and security posture, and help customers envision the power of our TDX platform within their environments. This role requires strong experience with SaaS delivery models, enterprise security, data integration, and analytics use cases.

What You’ll Do

  • Act as the technical lead during the presales process, supporting the sales team through product demonstrations, discovery calls, business cases, and architecture deep dives.
  • Develop and present business cases that quantify the value of TDX, aligning technical capabilities with customer goals and ROI expectations.
  • Design integration approaches that align with customer environments—ranging from flat file exchanges to real-time API connectivity.
  • Present and explain our platform architecture, security model, and data handling practices with confidence and clarity.
  • Support prospects through technical due diligence, security reviews, and IT risk assessments.
  • Serve as a bridge between Sales, Product, and Implementation to ensure smooth handoffs and customer success post-sale.

Who You Are

  • A trusted technical advisor and strong communicator who thrives at the intersection of technology, strategy, and sales.
  • Confident and compelling presenter, comfortable with both technical audiences (architects, IT leaders) and executive stakeholders (procurement, HR).
  • Deep understanding of modern SaaS architectures, AI and ML models, and enterprise integration patterns.
  • Adept at simplifying complexity, building trust, and guiding customers through technical decisions with a consultative approach.
  • Passionate about data, security, and helping customers unlock insights and innovation through smart design.

What You’ve Done:

  • 5+ years in software presales, solutions consulting, or a similar customer-facing technical role.
  • Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, Engineering, or a related technical field preferred.
  • Strong technical foundation in:
    • SaaS delivery models and associated operational and security considerations
    • Integration design patterns (e.g., flat file, SFTP, APIs)
    • Cloud platforms (e.g., AWS, Azure), encryption, communications security, and authentication protocols (SAML, LDAP, OAuth)
    • Enterprise risk and IT governance frameworks
    • Data analytics and machine learning concepts and their application to enterprise solutions
  • Experience supporting complex sales cycles with enterprise customers, particularly those with stringent IT/security requirements.
