## About the Role

Sales, Banking Services, Onboarding, Credit Union, Marketing Software, Software as a Service (SaaS), LinkedIn, Leadership, Product Demonstration, Machine Tool, Minimum Years of Experience

6-10 years in solutions engineering or software development roles, with demonstrated hands-on experience building tools, prototypes, or internal platforms against APIs, SDKs, or extensibility frameworks, and comfort operating in customer-facing or pre-sales settings when needed.

Education Level

Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, or a related field, * Hands-on proficiency in one or more modern languages (e.g., JavaScript/TypeScript, Python) sufficient to build and ship both front-end and back-end tooling independently

 * Deep working knowledge of API and SDK design, authentication, and extensibility frameworks, with the ability to speak to it credibly and in depth with highly technical audiences
 * Genuine, hands-on fluency with AI-assisted development tools and workflows, with a track record of using them to build and iterate faster
 * Working proficiency in SQL and relational databases, able to construct and troubleshoot complex queries
 * Ability to synthesize input from multiple stakeholders into a coherent technical roadmap
 * Strong presentation and consultative skills in front of senior technical stakeholders, including the ability to hold your own with technical leaders (engineering, IT) at financial institutions
 * Ability to independently evaluate an existing technical stack or toolset across multiple products and make build, buy, or improve recommendations
 * Comfort stepping into an active deal on short notice to answer deep technical questions on APIs, SDKs, or integrations, then stepping back out
 * Experience partnering with Product and Engineering to escalate and prioritize technical gaps surfaced from the field
 * Ability to translate complex technical concepts into clear business value narratives

Preferred

 * Experience in digital banking or financial services platforms
 * Direct experience building on an SDK or extensibility framework
 * Experience building internal tools or platforms used by other teams, rather than only customer-facing product
 * Track record standing up net-new tooling or infrastructure from scratch (a "0-to-1" builder background)
 * Exposure to competitive analysis and solution positioning strategies

## Description

* Build deep, cross-platform expertise in Alkami's demo tooling - how it works today across every product line, front end and back end
 * Partner directly with Sales Engineers and sales leadership to surface pain points, gaps, and goals for improving or rebuilding demo tooling
 * Design, build, and maintain the next generation of demo tooling that closes those gaps, using AI-assisted development to move quickly
 * Step into active deals when a prospect needs deep technical depth - going toe-to-toe with technical leaders at financial institutions on MANTL's API, Alkami's SDK, or complex integrations to remove technical blockers
 * Serve as the SE org's go-to technical resource for demo tooling questions and complex configuration or capability problems
 * Identify product limitations, design pragmatic workarounds, and feed field signal back into long-term platform strategy
 * Coach and upskill Sales Engineers on technical positioning and objection handling grounded in what the tooling can and can't do
 * Quantify this role's contribution to win rate by tracking outcomes and reporting where recurring technical gaps warrant permanent product investment
 * Model and champion AI-assisted development workflows across the SE org, consistent with the team's automation standards
