The Role
Weâre looking for a technically strong and customer focused Pre-Sales Solutions Engineer to join our team. This role blends engineering depth with commercial problem solving. Youâll work closely with prospects throughout the sales cycle, helping them validate Hookâs technical capabilities, understand our APIs and data architecture, and ensure a seamless path from discovery to implementation.
Youâll be hands-on with integrations, API exploration, proof of concepts, and technical scoping. Youâll take the lead on security reviews, RFPs, technical documentation, and Statements of Work, acting as the bridge between our Sales, Customer Success, Product, and Engineering teams.
This is an ideal role for someone who enjoys writing code, understanding how systems fit together, and translating technical detail into clear business value.
Lead technical discovery sessions with prospects, diving into their data sources, workflows, and integration requirements.
Explore and demonstrate Hookâs APIs, data models, and architecture in a way that clearly shows value and feasibility.
Build lightweight proofs of concept or sample integrations to help prospects validate technical fit.
Own RFPs, due diligence, security reviews, and technical questionnaires in partnership with Sales, Product, and Engineering.
Scope complex enterprise solutions and prepare high quality Statements of Work that outline technical requirements and delivery expectations.
Act as the technical point of contact during the sales cycle, ensuring prospects have clarity on data flows, implementation steps, and integration constraints.
Drive smooth handovers between Sales and Customer Success by documenting technical decisions and ensuring alignment on delivery plans.
Create and maintain pre-sales materials including architecture diagrams, integration guides, sample code snippets, and technical playbooks.
Provide ongoing feedback to Product and Engineering based on customer use cases, gaps, and market insights.
Strong engineering or technical background with hands-on experience coding with APIs or integrating software systems.
Ability to read and write code across common languages such as Python or JavaScript.
Clear understanding of web technologies, REST APIs, authentication methods, and data pipelines.
Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to explain complex concepts simply and persuasively.
Experience supporting SaaS or data-focused products in a customer-facing role such as pre-sales, solutions engineering, or technical consulting.
Highly organised with strong attention to detail when handling multiple workstreams.
Comfortable working closely with Sales, Product, Engineering, and Customer Success teams.
Naturally curious, proactive, and energised by working in a fast-moving startup environment.
