Head of Sales & Solutions Engineering

The Team The Sales & Solutions Engineering team sits within the Customer Experience organization and serves as the technical backbone of CodeSignal's go-to-market motion. The team's engagement spans the full client lifecycle from early-stage discovery, demos, POVs through implementation, training, integration, and ongoing technical consultation. This end-to-end exposure gives the team deep empathy for customers' business problems and enables them to develop scalable solutions that accelerate both the pre-sales cycle and post-sales success. The Role CodeSignal is looking for a Head of Sales & Solutions Engineering: a player-coach who will lead, build, and scale the technical function that powers our sales and customer success teams. This is a hands-on leadership role for someone who can set strategic vision for how technical selling should work at CodeSignal while also rolling up their sleeves to run demos, architect solutions, and close complex deals alongside their team. You will own two complementary functions: Pre-Sales Engineering , which partners with Account Executives to drive new business through technical discovery, product demonstrations, and value-based selling. Solutions Engineering , which works alongside Customer Success to design implementations, run enablement workshops, and ensure customers realize the full value of the platform. Your job is to make both of these motions world-class. As a founding leader of this function, you will build the processes, playbooks, and enablement programs that turn individual heroics into a repeatable, scalable machine. You'll define how the team operates, from how SEs are paired with sellers, to how technical wins are measured, to how customer feedback flows back to Product. At the same time, you'll personally engage on high-stakes opportunities, coaching your team in real-time and modeling what great technical selling looks like. This role reports to the SVP of Customer Experience and is critical to CodeSignal's growth as we expand from an inbound-led motion to a more proactive, outbound-driven sales strategy.
