Job Description

Early-Career Sales Engineer (Computer Science)

Location: On-site, Brooklyn, NY

Experience: New graduate / early-career (0–2 years)

Compensation: $100k–$120k + equity + Bonus

About the opportunity

This is an early-career, technical, customer-facing role at a fast-growing software company building tooling used by engineers in production.

The company operates in the developer tools / API platform space and works with both high-growth technology startups and large enterprise engineering teams. The role is designed for someone with strong Computer Science fundamentals who wants to apply their technical skills in a real-world environment, working directly with customers and product teams.

You’ll sit at the intersection of engineering, product, and go-to-market , helping companies evaluate and successfully adopt a technical platform used in production.

What you’ll do

• Act as the technical point of contact during customer product evaluations
• Run live product demos and answer technical questions from engineers
• Support customers through onboarding and go-live, including:
• Working directly in customer codebases
• Helping configure and integrate API-driven tooling
• Work closely with internal engineering and product teams
• Use, improve, and contribute to technical documentation
• Share customer feedback to help shape product decisions

This role spans pre-sales and early post-sales onboarding . There is no hand-off once a customer signs — you stay involved until the product is live in production.

This role is a strong fit if you:

• Have a strong foundation in Computer Science (through a degree or equivalent experience)
• Are early in your career (new graduate or up to ~2 years’ experience)
• Are comfortable reasoning about software systems and APIs
• Can read and write code confidently
• Enjoy explaining technical concepts clearly
• Are curious, proactive, and learn quickly in a fast-moving environment

Previous sales experience is not required .

Nice to have (not required)

• Exposure to OpenAPI or API specifications
• Familiarity with modern web frameworks (e.g. React or Next.js)
• Side projects, internships, research experience, or open-source contributions
• Interest in developer experience or developer tooling

Why this is a strong early-career role

• Work on real production systems , not internal-only projects
• Direct exposure to startup and enterprise engineering teams
• Close collaboration with experienced engineers and founders
• High ownership and responsibility early in your career
• Steep learning curve and strong long-term growth trajectory

Working environment

• In-person, collaborative team based in Brooklyn
