Senior Solutions Engineer

Snyk Snyk · Enterprise · Boston, United States, United States · Remote

This role is for a Senior Solutions Engineer at Snyk, a company focused on secure AI software development. The role involves owning the technical strategy for complex enterprise opportunities, architecting technical strategies, engineering business value through ROI and TCO models, and influencing the product ecosystem. While the company is AI-focused and the role mentions AI-assisted coding as a 'nice to have', the core responsibilities are sales-adjacent technical strategy and value realization, not building or shipping AI models themselves.

What you'd actually do

  1. Partner with Account Directors to co-lead the sales strategy for high-stakes enterprise opportunities, owning the technical narrative from initial discovery to final validation.
  2. Construct Value Realization Frameworks by partnering with executive stakeholders to define "North Star" security goals and mapping Snyk’s capabilities to specific, measurable business outcomes.
  3. Build sophisticated ROI and TCO models that translate technical feasibility into compelling financial justifications for C-suite decision-makers.
  4. Present and defend Snyk’s value proposition to high-level stakeholders (CISOs, CTOs, and Distinguished Engineers), aligning our platform with their long-term business outcome priorities
  5. Proactively identify and execute on secondary value streams—such as compliance automation or supply chain risk management—to broaden Snyk’s footprint within the enterprise.
