Sales Engineer Manager UK

Position Summary

The Sales Engineering Manager sits at the intersection of sales and engineering, leading a team of world‑class SEs while remaining hands‑on when the moment calls for it. The ideal candidate articulates technology and product positioning at executive, business, and technical levels — and is equally comfortable rolling up their sleeves to debug an integration or deliver a demo. This leader drives the technical evaluation stage of the sales process, ensures customer success across all Harness engagements, and partners closely with sales to steer customers toward a commercial relationship.

• Drive complex technical engagements including POCs, workshops, and RFI/RFP responses
• Articulate technology value propositions at the executive, business, and technical levels

• 4+ years of hands‑on DevOps/Dev sales engineering experience
• Prior background as a developer or in a deeply developer‑centric DevOps role
• Strong cloud and infrastructure knowledge — hands‑on experience with tools like Terraform
• Low ego: comfortable getting hands‑on as a people leader, and would return to an IC role at the right company
• Strong public speaking skills — you have presented at conferences and are a confident, polished presenter
• Self‑motivated, resilient, and naturally inclined to solve problems without being asked
• Works effectively as part of a team, partnering with Sales leadership, Post Sales and other functions to drive business outcomes
