• You excel at analyzing customer requirements and designing innovative, scalable solutions
• You're able to translate complex technical concepts into clear messages for both technical and non-technical stakeholders

• Engage directly with customers to understand their business challenges and technical requirements — translating these into tailored solutions powered by the Trackunit IrisX Operating Data Platform
• Act as a technical expert by delivering high-impact demos, guiding discovery sessions, and building proof-of-concepts that showcase the real-world value of IrisX
• Identify, assess, and shape data-driven use cases across industries and customer segments, including the strategic application of tools like Databricks within the IrisX ecosystem
• Collaborate closely with Account Executives and Engineering Teams to provide both technical expertise and business value throughout the pre-sales and onboarding lifecycle
