What is a Solution Engineer?
Also known as a "Pre-Sales Engineer" or "Sales Consultant," the Solution Engineer presents our product offerings to prospects and customers, builds confidence in our technology, and helps remove technical objections throughout the sales cycle. To do this, Solution Engineers draw on their technical and sales skills to gather business requirements, develop a technical sales strategy, and configure and demonstrate solutions that deliver business value.
Specialist Solution Engineer
Are you a technically minded, curious communicator who loves turning data into clear, compelling stories? As a Specialist Solution Engineer, you'll be the subject matter expert for Tableau and its family of products, including Tableau Cloud, Tableau Server, Tableau Next, and CRM Analytics. You'll help customers across LATAM become more data-driven by showing how a trusted, governed semantic foundation turns data into decisions. You'll work side by side with Account Executives and account-team Solution Engineers to bring the value of Analytics to every conversation.
What You'll Be Doing
You'll support the technical sales cycle for Analytics, from discovery and storytelling demos to hands-on workshops, showing customers the "why" and the "what." You'll listen closely to business and data needs, then demo how Tableau helps customers define metrics and business rules once and reuse them in governed, trusted analytics. You'll show how analytics interoperability across Tableau Cloud, Server, Tableau Next, and CRM Analytics works, and how recent innovations such as Tableau Knowledge, Tableau Studio, and Tableau Semantics fit the customer's existing data stack. You'll also act as an evangelist for Analytics with internal teams, helping them position Tableau with confidence.

- Share customer feedback with the Product and GTM teams
- Manage several customer engagements at once across LATAM, prioritizing with the sales team
- Keep growing your expertise in Tableau, CRM Analytics, and the Salesforce platform
- Willingness and flexibility to travel as needed
