Job Description

We are seeking a talented Sales Engineer who will work with the Sales team to  increase the pace of Google Cloud Adoption within a predefined number of existing customers and prospects. You will play a key role in helping them reach the potential of Google Cloud, develop creative cloud solutions and architectures to solve their business challenges, and problem-solve any potential technical roadblocks.
