Associate Sales Engineer
RemoteUnited Kingdom
Job Summary
Develop deep expertise in InfluxDB and the wider InfluxData platform, including APIs, client libraries, and integrations with tools like Telegraf, Grafana, and MQTT. Partner with senior Sales Engineers to build demos, proof-of-concept environments, and sample integrations for prospects. Provide responsive technical coverage by answering product questions, running standard demos, and unblocking opportunities. Contribute to formal RFx responses and informal prospect Q&A sessions while advocating for customers with Engineering, Product, and Support teams. Write content for blogs, community forums, and sample-code repositories. Learn enterprise software sales mechanics such as discovery, qualification, and MEDDIC from an experienced team. This early-career role is remote-based in the UK with occasional travel for team meetings and conferences.
Required Qualifications
- A degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Mathematics, Physics or a related discipline — or equivalent demonstrable technical ability.
- Comfortable writing code in at least one of Python, Go, JavaScript/Node.js or Java — enough to build working examples, integrations and small tools.
- Familiarity with Linux fundamentals and the command line
- Some exposure to working with data — SQL, NoSQL, CSVs and scripts, or data coursework
- Excellent communication skills: you can explain a technical concept simply, to a technical or non-technical audience, in writing and in person
- Fluent written and spoken English
Desired Qualifications
- Curiosity about how businesses and physical operations work — one week you might be learning about battery telemetry, the next about network monitoring
- Comfort with ambiguity and a bias for figuring things out: the best people in this role treat "I don't know yet" as the start of the fun
- Tinkered with hardware, sensors or microcontrollers — Raspberry Pi, Arduino, home automation, robotics, vehicles
- Any exposure to IoT or industrial technologies: MQTT, OPC-UA, SCADA, PLCs, telemetry
- Used monitoring or observability tools such as Grafana, Prometheus or InfluxDB itself
- Experience with Docker, Kubernetes or a cloud provider (AWS, Azure, GCP)
- Built anything with LLMs or AI developer tools
- Spoken/written fluency in other European languages
- If you've recently graduated, an internship or placement year is viewed very favourably
