Hex's user base is continuing to grow rapidly. We are hiring a Sales Engineer to partner with potential customers to support their Hex evaluations.
About the roleHex is redefining how teams work with data - combining notebooks, apps, BI, and AI-native workflows into a single collaborative analytics platform. Companies like Anthropic, Cursor, and Brex rely on Hex as a core part of how their data teams operate.

This is a high-impact moment to join: our go-to-market motion is accelerating, our AI capabilities are evolving quickly, and Sales Engineers play a central role in shaping how we win.
As a Sales Engineer, you will leverage your product, ecosystem, and technical expertise to shape how our potential customers evaluate and adopt Hex. You will partner with the Sales team to help prospects understand the challenges in their current state, connect Hex’s value to those challenges, own the technical evaluation, and set them up for long-term success as a customer. This is a consultative, highly technical position where you’ll influence deal strategy, inform product direction, and act as the voice of the customer.

- Own the technical sales cycle and work with end users throughout the Sales cycle from discovery and product demos through trials, and proofs of concept
- Partner closely with Account Executives to develop opportunity-level strategy, execute evaluations, and share feedback to improve your partnership
- Inform the product roadmap by synthesizing product feedback from prospects to share with internal Engineering & Product teams

- Familiarity with data science tooling and workflows, including Python, SQL, and BI tools (Bonus points if you have spent lots of time in notebooks, SQL IDEs, or app-building frameworks.)
- A strong track record of talking to customers - from IC users to senior stakeholders - and solving their problems
- You're an excellent communicator who builds empathy, shares feedback, and grows successful relationships with internal and external stakeholders
