YOUR IMPACT
Gartner predicts that by 2029, 90% of organizations currently delivering workload automation will have transitioned to Service Orchestration and Automation Platforms (SOAPs) — a market expected to reach $4.9 billion by 2028. Redwood is the top-ranked vendor in Gartner's 2025 Critical Capabilities for SOAP, scoring #1 across all five use cases. We're expanding our Solutions Engineering team to meet that demand. In this role, you'll be the technical face of a category leader — helping enterprise prospects understand not just what Redwood does, but why it's the right answer in a market that's fundamentally changing.
- Cover the full SOAP surface area. Present and position Redwood's capabilities across all five Gartner-defined SOAP use cases — IT workload automation, IT workflow orchestration, data orchestration, citizen/self-service automation, and DevOps automation. You won't be a deep expert in all five on day one, but you'll develop enough fluency to lead discovery and qualify the right fit for each prospect.
- Demonstrate Redwood's platform with AI fluency. Deliver compelling technical presentations and live product overviews that connect Redwood's AI capabilities — AI-powered observability, intelligent job scheduling, and agentic orchestration — to concrete operational outcomes, not just platform features.
- Use AI tools as a force multiplier. Leverage LLM-based research, prompt-driven workflows, and AI productivity tooling as a standard part of how you work — accelerating demo preparation, account research, competitive analysis, and technical documentation.
- Position confidently in a competitive market. Develop a working understanding of the SOAP competitive landscape well enough to articulate Redwood's differentiation, handle objections live, and understand why you win and why you lose.
- Drive technical evaluations hands-on. Lead proof-of-concept work with prospects to validate use cases and prove out business outcomes — including light scripting (REST APIs, Python, bash) where needed to close technical gaps.
- Enable Account Executives. Provide technical insight, SOAP market context, and prospect feedback that sharpens messaging and accelerates new account acquisition.
- Stay ahead of the SOAP and AI landscape. Continuously deepen your understanding of how the market is evolving — from agentic AI and GenAI-powered automation to data pipeline orchestration and self-service automation — and bring that context into every prospect conversation.
- Uphold Redwood's standards. Maintain the highest ethical standards across all customer-facing work, representing the company with professionalism and technical credibility at every level of the prospect organization.
What we're looking for in how you work:
- Resourceful: You're constantly curious, proactively learning new AI tools and technical capabilities as part of how you operate — not as a side project.
- Competitive: You bring initiative, confidence, and a results-oriented mindset to every pursuit.
- Goal-Oriented: You set meaningful objectives, track them rigorously, and hold yourself accountable to outcomes.
- Detail-Oriented: You're organized and exercise sound judgment — able to manage multiple technical evaluations and sales cycles simultaneously without things falling through.
- Communicator: You can explain SOAP, AI, and automation concepts clearly to both a VP of Engineering and a CFO, and you know the difference matters.
- Adaptable: You're comfortable shifting priorities and handling complex, dynamic requirements in a fast-moving enterprise sales environment.
YOUR EXPERIENCE
The most important thing we're hiring for is technical aptitude and intellectual curiosity. Domain knowledge can be taught — the ability to learn fast, think technically, and communicate clearly cannot.
What we require:
- 3+ years in a pre-sales, solutions engineering, or adjacent technical role in enterprise software — Process Automation, ERP, Data Integration, Business Intelligence, ESB, or similar.
- Technical aptitude. Working knowledge of REST APIs and comfort with light scripting (Python, bash, or equivalent) sufficient to build simple integrations, validate technical scenarios, or debug issues in a demo environment. You don't need to be a software engineer — but you need to be comfortable in that world.
- Demonstrated, hands-on use of AI tools in a professional context — LLMs, prompt-based workflows, AI-assisted research, AI productivity tooling. This is a baseline requirement, not a differentiator. Bonus if you understand how AI capabilities like observability, intelligent automation, and agentic orchestration are being embedded into enterprise automation platforms specifically.
- Familiarity with agentic AI and AI orchestration concepts. You understand what multi-agent systems are, how LLMs are being embedded into enterprise workflows, and can hold a substantive conversation with technical buyers about where this is headed.
- High-level ERP literacy across core business processes: Financials, Procure to Pay, Plan to Build, Quote to Cash, Reporting, and Data Quality.
- Ability to bridge technical depth and business value — credible in a room with enterprise architects, while equally effective communicating ROI to executive stakeholders.
- Bachelor's degree from an accredited college or university.
A head start — not a hard filter. We'll invest in the rest:
- Prior exposure to workload automation, job scheduling, or enterprise orchestration platforms.
- Familiarity with SAP environments — S/4HANA, RISE with SAP, SAP BTP, or core SAP business processes. We operate deeply in this ecosystem and will develop this knowledge in you.
- Awareness of data orchestration concepts — ETL/ELT pipelines, DataOps workflows, data movement across hybrid environments.
- Familiarity with DevOps toolchains and how automation intersects with CI/CD, infrastructure provisioning, or SRE practices.
- Experience in Customer Success, Technical Support, or Professional Services.
If you like growth and working with happy, enthusiastic over-achievers, you'll enjoy your career with us!
