HackerRank helps thousands of companies like OpenAI, NVIDIA, Mercedes and Amazon hire developers based on their skills vs. pedigree, and also nurtures a community of millions of developers to upskill themselves to become next-gen developers.

The people at HackerRank care deeply about their work and have an extremely intense work ethic. In many companies, speed & quality is a tradeoff. At HackerRank, it’s not -- we expect you to ship in about half the time that most competent people think is possible while maintaining a standard of quality you’d proudly sign your name on. The only way to make this happen is if you truly love your craft and are deeply committed to growth.

What you’ll do

  • Lead pre-sales and post-sales demos, technical sessions, and onsite engagements to design, deliver, and productionize scalable solutions that show how HackerRank turns complex hiring and upskilling needs into simple, skills-based workflows.
  • Partner onsite with customers, engineers, recruiters, and business leaders to uncover developer needs, listen with empathy, and shape practical, goal-driven solutions.
  • Keep customer projects on track through disciplined execution and proactive updates.
  • Use the right tools, including AI when useful, to deliver faster, more reliable outcomes that strengthen HackerRank’s customer experience.
  • Collaborate with Product, Engineering, and GTM teams to close feedback loops and surface field solutions ready for productization.

Who you are

  • Bring 4–6 years of experience working in customer-facing engineering roles, delivering tailored technical solutions, deploying SaaS products in production environments, and ensuring a high-quality customer experience.
  • A full-stack builder comfortable working with web applications, IDEs, APIs, integrations, back-end services, and developer tools and technologies.
  • Confident speaking onsite with prospects and enterprise customers,  gathering requirements, scoping solutions, and delivering results that drive measurable impact.
  • A clear communicator who can go deep with engineers or simplify for non-technical crowds.
  • A strong operator who plans, executes, and follows through, keeping projects organized.
  • You lead with empathy, energy, and a problem-solver’s mindset.

Even better if you have

  • Experience as a software, solutions, or sales engineer working with HR tech, ATS platforms, IDEs, developer tools, API-first or integration-heavy systems.
  • A track record of seeing projects through from scoping to delivery, balancing customer needs with technical tradeoffs.

You will thrive in this role if

  • You love mixing engineering, consulting, and delivery, owning every step of the journey.
  • You want every project to feel like a new challenge.
  • You set and uphold high standards for excellence for yourself and those around you.
