Your challenge
As part of the AppDynamics team you’ll enable our customers to focus on building features rather than troubleshooting issues. Every day, we help our customers proactively prevent application issues and slowdowns and expedite the root cause analysis of those issues. We make the war room a thing of the past by mapping applications end-to-end, in real-time, from the user’s end device all the way to backend applications and databases.

As a Sales Engineer you’ll be a trusted advisor who partners with our Field Sales Team to provide unparalleled support to our customers, ensuring they understand the full power of the AppDynamics platform. Everything from demoing the platform to ensuring a successful hand-off to our Professional Services and Customer Success teams after the sale are all in a day’s work for you.

About you:
To be successful in this role, you’ll speak Fluent English (either German and/or French would be an extra asset) and be a technical consultant who thrives in finding and solving our customer’s real-world, production issues. You’re a self-starter with an entrepreneurial spirit who will work closely with our Sales Teams to strategize which accounts to target, generate compelling pipeline generation messages, and customize demonstrations that are relevant to those customers. Looking to grow? We’ll help there, too! Successful Sales Engineers have gone on to leadership roles and beyond.

It’s important for us to say that sometimes a candidate may have that “X” factor. If you think you have potential for this role, go ahead, apply! We keep your application on file, so even if this isn’t the role for you, we look at our database first for new roles that open up.

The impact you’ll have includes:

• Your first meeting of the day could be a deep technical conversation with an architect/engineer followed by a high-level discussion with a CIO that lets your passion for technology shine.
• Aligning our customers with the best solutions based on their unique environments and how we’ll support them.
