Solutions Sales Engineer (Pre-Sales)
Position Overview
Job Title: Solutions Sales Engineer
Department: Solution Consulting
Reports To: VP, Solution Consulting
Employment Type: Full-Time
FLSA Classification: Exempt
Position Summary
The Solution Sales Engineer leads the technical work in b.well’s sales process. Working with the sales, business development, and marketing teams, this role runs technical discovery with prospects and partners, delivers product demonstrations, writes the technical sections of RFIs and RFPs, and drafts the solution design for each opportunity. It is accountable for the accuracy of that work through contract signature.
The role requires a working command of how the b.well platform, healthcare data, and customer systems operate together, and the ability to translate that knowledge for everyone in an evaluation. That means answering API and integration questions with developers and architects, then framing the same capability for executives in terms of cost, experience, and compliance. As the expert in b.well’s demonstration and sandbox environments, the Solution Sales Engineer shows each buyer how the platform applies to their own use case.
When an evaluation calls for hands-on validation, the Solution Sales Engineer prepares sandbox environments for prospect testing and brings structured feedback to Product and Engineering. The role keeps demonstrations and content current with b.well releases and the product roadmap. At signature, the solution design becomes the basis for the technical handoff, so implementation starts from an accurate record of what was scoped and committed.

Release Readiness & Market Insight
- Tracks b.well releases and the product roadmap, updating demonstrations, environments, and content as new capabilities ship.

- Looks for patterns across opportunities, such as recurring questions, objections, and capability gaps, and turns them into stronger content and reusable demo scenarios.
