Principal Solutions Engineer

Principal Solutions Engineer at Backbase

As a Principal Solutions Engineer at Backbase, you’re the strategic expert who leads the most high-profile customer engagements. You’ll work closely with senior stakeholders at banks and credit unions, helping them map out their future with Backbase’s platform. Your technical depth, combined with your industry knowledge, allows you to design complex solutions that address both immediate challenges and long-term goals. You’re also a mentor—helping Senior and Junior Solutions Engineers up their game by sharing your expertise in solutioning, presentations, and handling senior-level stakeholders.

What you'll do

Whether you talk to the board of directors, the marketing team or the IT department, you turn every red light green. You love to travel and stay abroad. We work on a global scale, so if you don’t already own a platinum flying card, you will within a year.

You will join prospects in their exploration of Backbase products. As an all-round product expert, you navigate through the full sales cycle, from doing technology deep dives and leading proof of concepts, to leading workshops and generating feedback. Your performance blows each prospect of its feet. And we do need a little extra more.

When we mention a getting-things-done mentality, you immediately recognize yourself. Not only do you feel comfortable talking business, you’re also a congenial companion during coffee breaks. And let’s not forget your organizing skills. Those skills, by the way, also come in handy when planning leisure time, because if we send you to the other end of the world and overload you with work, we do understand that you might want to loosen up afterward and explore the surroundings.

You will join a highly motivated global team with like-minded people that are spread across the globe. Currently our team is spread across Amsterdam, London, New York, New Jersey, Atlanta, Toronto, Singapore, Tokyo and Sydney.
