About the role
Sureify's mission is to modernize the life insurance and annuity industry by helping carriers acquire, service, and engage their customers through any distribution channel. Sureify's products empower life insurance carriers, agents, employees, and customers to have the digital experiences employees and consumers have come to expect in the rapidly advancing tech climate. Role Overview: We are looking for a scrappy, creative, and highly motivated Pre-Sales Demo Engineer. In this role, you will be the engine behind our pre-sales team, responsible for building, maintaining, and upgrading the demo environments our sales reps use every day. While this role is initially internal-facing, it is designed as a launchpad. For the right candidate, this position offers a direct mentorship path to become a fully customer-facing Technical Solution Consultant or Sales Engineer within 12 to 24 months.
Responsibilities
- Demo Environment Ownership: Maintain, upgrade, and troubleshoot core sales demo environments to ensure they are always pitch-ready and running on the latest product releases.
- Technical Troubleshooting: Act as the first line of defense when we encounter a technical issue or breakage within a demo environment.
- Collaboration: Work closely with our Senior Technical Solution Consultant to build custom Proof of Concepts (POCs) and execute the backend technical tasks required for complex deals.
- Data Management: Populate and manage realistic, compelling data sets within the demo environments so they resonate with our prospects' business use cases.
- Candidate Profile:
- Native/Fluent English (Customer-Facing Trajectory): Because this role is a stepping stone to a customer-facing position, native or highly fluent English is an absolute requirement. You must be able to clearly articulate complex ideas.
- The "Figure-It-Out" Mentality: You don't need to be a test-driven, purist software developer. You need to be a creative problem solver who can piece things together to make a demo look great and function flawlessly.
- Technical Tool-belt: Familiarity with TypeScript (frontend and backend) and APIs. You should be comfortable enough with these technologies to manipulate data streams, tweak frontend components, and connect systems for a seamless demo experience.
- Strong Communicator (High EQ): You need to understand the business value behind the technology, not just the code, and communicate effectively with internal sales teams. We will help teach these concepts.
- Adaptable & Scrappy: You thrive in a fast-paced sales environment and are comfortable shifting priorities when an urgent demo request comes in.
- Life Insurance & Annuity Domain knowledge is a plus, but not required.
