Sales Engineer

Contract · part-time or full-time Canberra / Remote

Be the engineer in the room — demos, scoping, and proof-of-concepts that turn conversations into projects.

About the role

You sit where engineering meets the client: running demos, scoping solutions, building quick proof-of-concepts, and translating between what clients need and what we build.

This is a forward-deployed role. You'll spend real time with clients — in person and remote — understand their problems firsthand, and carry that context back into delivery. You can build, not just present.

What you'll do

  • Run technical demos and discovery sessions with prospective clients
  • Scope solutions and draft technical proposals with the principal engineer
  • Build rapid proof-of-concepts that win work
  • Support handover into delivery so nothing is lost between sale and build
  • Feed client insight back into our products and positioning

What we're looking for

  • A software or GIS engineering background — hands-on, current, credible
  • Comfortable presenting to executives and engineers in the same meeting
  • Clear writing for proposals and scoping documents
  • Commercial instincts — you listen for the problem behind the request

Nice to have

  • Geospatial domain experience
  • Government procurement experience (tenders, panels)
  • An existing network in Australian tech or government
