As a Senior Enterprise Sales Engineer, you’ll serve as a trusted technical advisor and strategic partner to both customers and Sales. You’ll lead complex technical evaluations, align solutions to business outcomes, and help shape deal strategy in high-impact opportunities.
This role goes beyond delivering demos - you’ll own the evaluation experience end-to-end, influence key stakeholders, and help drive successful outcomes across enterprise accounts.
At Datadog, we place value in our office culture - the relationships and collaboration it builds and the creativity it brings to the table. We operate as a hybrid workplace to ensure our Datadogs can create a work-life harmony that best fits them.
What You’ll Do:
- Own the sales process in partnership with Account Executives by leading and shaping the technical strategy across opportunities from PG to Closed Won
- Lead customer discovery to uncover technical challenges, business goals, and success criteria, then translate those needs into tailored Datadog solutions and measurable business outcomes
- Deliver engaging product demos, technical presentations, and solution workshops that connect platform capabilities to customer outcomes for diverse stakeholder audiences including executives
- Full ownership of the technical evaluations (POVs) end-to-end: scoping use cases and requirements, defining competitive success criteria, building a project plan with clear timelines, and holding all participants accountable to the process
- Identify, develop, and leverage technical champions across multi-stakeholder environments, building a structured plan for champion cultivation and influence throughout the deal cycle
- Contribute to product direction through active participation in structured product and engineering field feedback sessions, bringing field insights and customer patterns to PM and engineering teams
- Drive operational excellence by ensuring activity, deal progress, and customer interactions are accurately document
