Datavations gives building materials and home improvement manufacturers real-time, store-level visibility into pricing, assortment, and inventory across major retailers, including Home Depot, Lowe’s, and Menards. Manufacturers use this data to make sharper decisions about pricing, distribution, and how they show up on the shelf. \nOur values\nCustomer Obsession: We are integrated in the industry with a customer-first obsession.\nProactive Ownership: We have agency for our actions and embody an entrepreneurial mindset.\nBias for Action: We maintain momentum with a can-do attitude; we value progress over perfection.\nEager to Grow: We stay curious and hungry to learn, viewing every failure with humility as an opportunity to grow.\nFoster Collaboration: We work across boundaries with quiet competence, welcoming diverse perspectives and offering help unselfishly.\nThe Role\nAs a Sales Engineer, you’ll partner with Account Executives throughout the sales cycle - from the first technical conversation through close. You’ll validate our data against a prospect’s own numbers, build the analysis that makes our value obvious, and present and defend that analysis directly to technical and executive audiences. This is a hands-on, technical role at the center of the sales process, not a supporting one.\nCore Responsibilities\nAnalysis & insight development: turn raw data into a clear, structured analysis tied to the specific business decision your audience is trying to make.\nDeal scoping: scope technical requirements and build supporting pricing or proposal materials, surfacing feasibility issues early in the sales cycle.\nDemo & presentation delivery: build and deliver product demonstrations and analytical presentations, including to senior and executive audiences, and adapt in real time when your findings are challenged.\nData validation: run correlation and variance analysis to validate our data against a prospect’s own data, and explain your methodology clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences.\nCross-functional handoff: work closely with sales, customer success, and product teams, including a clean handoff of documentation once a deal closes.\nTools & data fluency: work fluently with data and analytics tools (spreadsheets, SQL or similar, BI/reporting tools, Claude), and pick up new tools quickly, including AI-assisted workflows.\nCore Skills & Experience\n3+ years in a technical, pre-sales, or solutions-consulting role - sales engineering, solutions consulting, technical account management, or a similarly analytical customer-facing role.\nStrong quantitative and analytical skills: comfortable working directly with data (spreadsheets, SQL or similar query languages, BI/reporting tools) and able to catch an error before it reaches a customer (ie - strong attention to detail).\nStrong presentation and communication skills, with experience adapting technical material for different audiences, including senior stakeholders.\nNice to Have\nExperience with retail or CPG point-of-sale, syndicated, or panel data.\nPreferred Location: NY, Atlanta, Chicago, Dallas, Cincinnati, Minneapolis\nWhy Join Datavations\nImpact at Scale: Influence a $2.3 trillion industry by shaping how data science accelerates ROI for major manufacturers.\nAutonomy & Growth: Enjoy the freedom to experiment with new technologies and see your ideas realized in production.\nCollaborative Culture: Work alongside a supportive team that values positivity, proactive ownership, and continuous learning.\nProfessional Development: Work with Terraform, OpenTelemetry, GenAI coding tools, and modern \nCompensation \nThe average range for this role is $110,000 - $130,000 depending on experience, skills, and alignment with the role’s responsibilities. This range reflects our current national expectations for qualified candidates. Exceptional candidates based in our NYC office may be considered for a higher range. Total compensation may also include equity, performance bonuses, and a comprehensive benefits package.\nWe’re committed to paying competitively and equitably, and we regularly review our compensation structures to ensure they align with the market and support our values","description_format":"text","description_chars":4329,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":3,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Continuous learning","Equity","Professional development"],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"United States","iso":"US","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["B2B Company & Contact Data"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-20T19:27:48Z"}],"visa":[{"country":"US","licensed_sponsor":true,"evidence":"H-1B filings in 12 months: 1","filings_12m":1,"filings_prev_12m":0,"green_card_filings_12m":0,"median_offered_wage_usd":112500,"route":null,"cap_exempt":false,"checked_at":"2026-10-29T16:27:21+00:00","sources":["US Department of Labor: LCA disclosure data (H-1B, H-1B1, E-3)"],"filings_for_role_12m":0}],"liveness":{"score":21,"band":"cold","label":"Long shot","p_open":1,"p_active":0.604,"p_room":0.35,"age_days":15,"expected_fill_days":7,"reasons":["conf:0","win:tail"],"computed_at":"2026-11-05T05:54:30Z"},"pay":{"stated_usd_annual":130000,"is_top_pay":false},"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/datavations-sales-engineer","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/datavations-sales-engineer.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-05T18:16:42Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":24046,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-06T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":673995},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=673995"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fdatavations-sales-engineer"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fdatavations-sales-engineer"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fdatavations-sales-engineer"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/datavations-sales-engineer\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fdatavations-sales-engineer"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":2949105}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"datavations.ai","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":2949105},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
