Summary
As a Solution Engineer at VeilSun, you partner with sales and clients to translate business needs into clear, executable technical solutions. Acting as both a consultant and solution architect, you lead discovery and blueprint sessions, shape client vision, and design scalable solutions across low-code platforms, integrations, and AI.
You balance client goals, deal competitiveness, and delivery feasibility—ensuring solutions are well-scoped, achievable, and positioned for long-term success.
Purpose of Position
Own the pre-sales solutioning process by defining clear, feasible, and high-impact solutions. Ensure alignment between client needs, technical architecture, and delivery expectations to set projects up for success.
Business Outcomes
You will be measured on:
- Quality and clarity of solution design, scope, and estimates; reduction in scope gaps, rework, and change orders
- Effectiveness of discovery in uncovering true client needs; solutions are clearly defined, realistic, and aligned to client goals
- Alignment to delivery feasibility and architectural standards
- Seamless, well-defined handoff to delivery teams
- Deals are structured for both winability and successful delivery
- Risks are identified early and managed proactively
- Clients feel informed, confident, and guided—not sold to
- Contribution to win rates
- Future state delivery margin success based on estimate, risk, assumptions, and blueprint quality
What You Will Lead

- Shape deal structure, including assumptions
- Make tradeoffs to balance feasibility, cost, and client goals
- Challenge client requests that introduce risk or misalignment
