The Sales Engineer will conduct technical demos, engage in multi-stakeholder sessions, support AEs and Account Managers, and integrate customer feedback into solutions, managing a high-volume pipeline within the APJ region.
Job Description
HiBob is a modern People Platform. We're a fast-scaling tech business with a global customer base and a high-performing global GTM team behind us. APJ is a central part of that growth story, and we're building the team to match.
We're looking for a Sales Engineer who brings genuine commercial curiosity and the technical fluency to back it up. This is a complex, multi-stakeholder environment where deals span multiple modules, multiple buyers, and a wide range of use cases. The motion requires more than a polished demo - it takes structured discovery, the ability to connect platform capability to real business outcomes, and the presence to hold a room across finance, HR, and the C-suite.
You'll sit at the intersection of sales and product, working across the full pre-sales cycle and partnering with AEs and Account Managers across the region. If you thrive in high-volume, high-expectation environments and want to be part of a GTM team with real momentum, this is worth a look.
The role
This is a quota carrying Sales Engineer position and you'll work across new business and expansion, partnering with Account Executives and Account Managers on customer requirements and helping shape our growth. Allocation is managed centrally, so expect variety in the deals you support.
The split is roughly 70% new business, 30% customer growth and upsells. Your remit spans the full pre-sales motion: demos, presentations, webinars, RFPs, tenders, and marketing and partnership events. For SMB, associate AEs run their own demos until technical complexity requires SE involvement; at mid-market and above, you're embedded from the start.
The role covers APJ broadly, which means global coverage requires flexibility. Early mornings or evening calls for Asia and Singapore are part of the rhythm. This suits someone who manages their own time well and sees the opportunity to make an impact not just here but across the globe.
What you'll do
What we're looking for
We're looking for people who invest in others, care about the detail, and raise the bar through example. If that resonates, we'd love to hear from you.
