Constructor's AI-first solutions make it easier for shoppers to discover products they want to buy and for ecommerce teams to deliver highly personalized experiences that drive impressive results. Optimizing specifically for ecommerce metrics like revenue, conversion rate and profit, Constructor generates consistent $10M+ lifts for some of the biggest brands in ecommerce, such as Sephora, Petco, home24, Maxeda Brands, Birkenstock and The Very Group. Constructor is a U.S. based company that was founded in 2015 by Eli Finkelshteyn and Dan McCormick.\nAbout the Team\nWe're a passionate team that loves challenges and wants to make people’s lives better. We value openness, curiosity, and continuous improvement. We believe that empowering everyone in a company to do what they think is best can lead to great things.\nRole Overview\nAs a Sales Engineer, you will lead the technical components of the sales process. You will partner closely with Account Executives and prospective customers to design integration approaches, evaluate technical fit, and demonstrate how Constructor’s platform drives measurable business impact.\nThis role combines technical architecture design, consultative discovery, and cross-functional collaboration. You will act as a bridge between customer engineering teams and Constructor’s Product and Engineering teams.\nThis is not a demo-heavy role. Account Executives perform the majority of demonstrations at Constructor. This role requires architectural thinking, integration planning, and consultative problem-solving.\nKey Responsibilities\nTechnical Sales & Solution Design\nLead technical discovery and solution design for prospective customers\n\nDesign and document integration architectures (APIs, ecommerce platforms, PIM, CMS, data pipelines)\n\nDevelop and support tailored Proof Schedules (deeply tailored, data-backed custom demo, similar to a “proof of value”)\n\nDeliver technical presentations to both business and technical stakeholders\n\nServe as primary technical advisor during evaluation cycles\n\nTroubleshoot and triage APIs, SDKs, and integration patterns\n\nWillingness to tinker and build demo prototypes and tooling\n\nBuild and present compelling custom technical demonstrations and integration blueprints tailored to each sales opportunity\n\nSupport RFP and RFI responses\n\nCross-Functional Collaboration\nPartner with Product and Engineering to surface prospective customer feedback to influence product roadmap and integration strategy\n\nContribute insights to the roadmap and the go-to-market strategy\n\nSupport enablement and training for sales teams\n\nHelp refine documentation, processes, and best practices within the SE function\n\nMarket & Industry Engagement\nStay current on ecommerce trends, AI/ML advancements, and the competitive landscape\n\nRepresent Constructor in prospect meetings, partner engagements, field events, and other industry engagements\n\nBuild strong relationships with prospective customer technical stakeholders (architects, engineers, delivery teams)\n\nRequired Qualifications & Skills\n3+ years of experience in technical Solutions Engineering, Sales Engineering, Pre-Sales Architect, or Technical Pre-Sales roles\n\nDeep hands-on experience with API-first platforms: comfortable working directly with REST APIs, JSON data structures, webhooks, and SDK integration patterns, and able to troubleshoot them with Postman or similar tools\n\nWorking knowledge of JavaScript, TypeScript, Python, or similar languages, enough to read integration code, debug client-side implementations, and build lightweight prototypes or demo tooling\n\nExperience designing and running custom demos or pilots with clear, business-aligned success criteria\n\nHands-on experience with coding agents to automate workflows, amplify impact, and execute at scale\n\nAbility to read the room, tailor your communication to diverse audiences, and identify detractors, champions, and key decision-makers\n\nStrong written and verbal communication, with a track record of producing clear technical documentation and explaining complex ideas to developers, architects, and C-suite executives alike\n\nAbility to effectively articulate complex ideas to both technical and non-technical audiences\n\nAbility to empathize with prospects’ challenges and goals\n\nSkilled listener with innate curiosity\n\nPassionate about innovative technology, technical sales, and articulating value to prospects\n\nEnjoys working with prospects and is comfortable interacting with C-suite executives from both technical and business perspectives\n\nPreferred Qualifications\nExperience in enterprise ecommerce or retail technology environments\n\nHands-on familiarity with at least two major ecommerce platforms, including how each handles catalog structure, extensions, and headless versus templated frontends\n\nDeep understanding of data mapping between backend systems such as PIM, ERP, or legacy search indexes into a new target schema, possibly including product and variant structures, facets, attributes, and pricing logic\n\nWorking knowledge of search and discovery concepts\n\nExperience supporting security reviews and procurement requirements, including GDPR, data processing agreements, data residency, and ISO 27001 or SOC 2 questionnaires\n\nAbility to build business value models that connect search improvements to revenue, conversion, or average order value\n\nExposure to conversational or agentic shopping experiences, or retail media and sponsored product programs\n\nWhat Success Looks Like\nProspects clearly understand technical integration paths\n\nProof Schedules(deeply tailored, data-backed custom demo, similar to a “proof of value”) align tightly with business outcomes\n\nTechnical objections are addressed proactively and effectively\n\nSales cycles are accelerated through a strong technical partnership\n\nProduct and Engineering receive actionable, structured market feedback\n\nQualitative (peer and prospect feedback) and quantitative (sales metrics and customer health scores) feedback will be positive and ideally, excellent\n\nWorking Style\nComfortable operating in a remote, distributed, and highly cross-functional environment\n\nAble to manage multiple sales engagements and priorities simultaneously\n\nA builder mindset that is proactive in creating structure in ambiguous environments\n\nHighly collaborative with a strong sense of ownership and autonomy\n\nCommercially aware and aligned with revenue and sales growth goals\n\nResourceful self-starter who can operate autonomously\n\nYou’ll Thrive Here If…\nYou’re a curious, skilled listener who genuinely enjoys untangling a prospect’s technical challenges. You get energy from tinkering and building, whether that’s a quick prototype, an integration blueprint, or a better internal process. You’re as comfortable whiteboarding with an engineering team as you are presenting to a CTO. And you have a competitive streak-not just to win the technical evaluation, but to show how the right technical decisions drive meaningful business results.\nBenefits\nUnlimited vacation time -we strongly encourage all of our employees take at least 3 weeks per year\n\nA competitive compensation package including stock options\n\nFully remote team - choose where you live\n\nWork from home stipend! We want you to have the resources you need to set up your home office\n\nApple laptops provided for new employees\n\nTraining and development budget for every employee, refreshed each year\n\nParental leave for qualified employees\n\nWork with smart people who will help you grow and make a meaningful impact\n\nDiversity, Equity, and Inclusion at Constructor\nAt Constructor.io we are committed to cultivating a work environment that is diverse, equitable, and inclusive.
