About the Sales Engineering Team

Sales Engineers at RelationalAI serve as the trusted technical advisors for our customers and often act as the key translator and facilitator across functional groups. They use their knowledge of the competitive landscape, industry trajectory and prevailing market trends to drive business value, offer advice, and support our customers as they deploy solutions.

Rel Practitioners at RelationalAI leverage deep knowledge of the Rel language and RAI's unique architecture to build data apps that prospects are dreaming about but have been unable to implement with existing legacy technologies. They combine their modeling, coding, database, graph, and ML/AI skills to demonstrate the business value of Rel and the Relational Knowledge Graph.

The Opportunity

At RelationalAI we are defining a new approach to developing analytic solutions or “Data Apps” utilizing the vast amounts of complex data now available to our customers. As the complexity grows for both us and our customers, we are looking to our Sales Engineers to strategize and lead customers in use case discovery, RelationalAI evangelism, and oftentimes helping new users with concepts like declarative programming, business modellng, or AI/ML.

We are in search of insightful and intellectually curious pre-sales professionals looking for their next challenge.

A Sales Engineer must be ready to interact and have technical discussions with data scientists and engineers, then demonstrate the value of RelationalAI in business discussions with company executives.
