About Us
Suger is a revenue platform that helps our customers grow on the fastest-growing B2B sales channel: the cloud marketplaces of AWS, Azure, GCP, and Alibaba. Launched in 2022, we take the tech debt out of marketplace sales by providing an API-first approach to quote-to-cash and billing processes.
We’re working with over 200 B2B customers, ranging from large enterprises like Snowflake and Intel to fast-growing startups like Glean and Vanta.
We are a Series A startup funded by top-tier investors including Threshold VC, Craft Ventures, Intel Capital, and Y Combinator.
Role Overview We are seeking a talented and passionate
Sales Engineer (Pre-Sales)
to help prospects understand Suger's value and guide them through a consultative, outcome-focused buying experience.
You will serve as a trusted advisor - uncovering customer pain points, aligning on ROI, and showcasing how Suger accelerates marketplace revenue, automates operational workflows, and improves the seller experience.
As the founding member of the pre-sales function, you will craft compelling demos, design solution architectures, prototype integrations, and collaborate cross-functionally to shape how Suger engages, wins, and scales with customers.
This is an exceptional opportunity to join a fast-growing team transforming the future of B2B SaaS and AI distribution.
What You’ll Do
Partner closely with Sales to run technical discovery, deeply understand customer goals, and map Suger’s capabilities to their marketplace monetization strategy
Lead product demonstrations tailored to customer pain points, clearly communicating ROI and business value
Build technical prototypes, workflows, and integration examples to showcase how Suger automates listing, quoting, fulfillment, and billing processes via APIs
Translate prospect requirements into actionable solution designs leveraging Suger’s features, integrations, and API-first platform
Own the technical handoff from pre-sales to post-sales by documenting customer requirements, configuration expectations, integration details, and success criteria—ensuring Implementation, Product, and Customer Success have everything needed to deliver an exceptional onboarding experience
Build and maintain reusable demo assets, templates, and workflows that support scale across the GTM organization
Serve as the technical liaison to Product, surfacing insights, influencing roadmap priorities, and refining messaging
Collaborate on cross-functional initiatives such as product launches, partner programs, cloud marketplace events, and strategic enablement
Document learnings, objections, patterns, and best practices to refine the sales cycle and drive continuous improvement
Help establish the foundation of the Sales Engineering function - processes, playbooks, tools, and metrics
What You Need
3+ years of Sales Engineering, Technical Pre-Sales, or related customer-facing technical experience in a SaaS environment (candidates with strong marketplace, revenue operations, or cloud/DevTools backgrounds may be considered even if they have less traditional SE experience)
Strong discovery skills—the ability to earn customer trust, ask probing questions, and uncover the “real” business pain
Excellent demo and storytelling skills, translating complex technical capabilities into compelling business outcomes
Comfort building technical prototypes, workflows, or integration examples — must be able to utilize APIs to demonstrate product capabilities, validate use cases, or build lightweight integrations
Solid understanding of enterprise SaaS buying cycles and the SE’s role in driving deal momentum
Strong analytical thinking to articulate ROI, quantify operational improvements, and support business cases
Experience working cross-functionally with Sales, Product, and Customer Success teams
Demonstrated success in high-growth, fast-paced environments
Curiosity about AI tools and emerging technologies, with a willingness to adopt them to improve productivity
Nice-to-Have
Experience with cloud marketplaces (AWS, Azure, GCP) from a seller, buyer, or partner perspective
Familiarity with quote-to-cash, CPQ, billing, or revenue operations tools
API experience used for demos or integrations (e.g., Postman, Python, JavaScript)
Background in FinOps, Cloud Ops, DevTools, or enterprise platforms
Why Join Us
The base salary range for this role is $120,000–$160,000/year, depending on experience, market location, and overall fit for the role.
We are a team of ~50 people, headquartered in the Bay Area (with teams globally), and growing rapidly
Work with an exceptional team that has built large-scale enterprise SaaS products at companies like Google, Meta, Microsoft, Salesforce, Confluent, Asana, and Opower (Oracle), as well as high-growth startups such as Workstream, Pave, Motive, and Square
Opportunity to have outsized impact as the foundational member of the Sales Engineering organization
Competitive compensation, meaningful early-stage equity, and comprehensive benefits - including healthcare, a monthly stipend for work station expenses, and team outings
Well-funded with top-tier investors
Fast-moving, flat org structure with significant ownership and autonomy
