• Guide pre-sales conversations, including introductions, discovery meetings, solution framing, estimating, and delivery team design.
• Use storytelling as a key part of solution selling – translating complex ideas into clear, compelling narrative that aligns stakeholders and drive decision-making.
• Help clients see the bigger picture by connecting technical solutions to their business goals – building trust through insight and influence.
• Build trusted relationships with senior client stakeholders, guiding conversations with confidence, clarity, and care.
• Build strong relationships with senior client stakeholders as a calm, credible advisor.

What You'll Bring:

• 10+ years of experience in software engineering and technical leadership from other technology consulting companies.
• Deep expertise in modern full-stack technologies — Java, .NET, React, Cloud, CI/CD and experience designing scalable architecture; candidates should not be far-removed from hands-on keyboard tasks.
• Familiarity with design and data capabilities with the adaptability to support a range of opportunity types.
• A record of measurable impact on project outcomes, team growth, and client satisfaction.
• Experience in pre-sales and discovery, including client introductions, creating frameworks, solutioning, estimation, and delivery team planning.
• Strong consultative skills — you know how to listen, guide decisions, and align stakeholders around solutions that work.
• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related technical field required. A Master’s degree is a plus but not required. We’re open to equivalent experience that demonstrates deep technical leadership, system design expertise, and a strong record of impact in enterprise consulting environments.
