LOCATION
Binti is headquartered in San Francisco, California. Much of our team is local to the San Francisco Bay Area and works via a hybrid setup, in-person from the office on Monday and Thursday and remote otherwise. Satellite offices, like Seattle, Washington, set their own in-office days and hybrid policies, but in general employees are encouraged to join the leadership team on the days when they will be in the office for collaboration and team cohesion.
A meaningful part of this position is engaging directly with prospective customers during the sales process, so this job includes up to 25% travel for discovery sessions, security and architecture conversations, and on-site pitches.
WHAT YOU WILL DO
Serve as the senior technical voice in the sales process, leading security, integrations, and technical-architecture conversations with prospective customers and their IT and security teams.
Play a hands-on role in Binti's most critical strategic and enterprise deals, building trusted relationships with the technical stakeholders on the prospect side (IT, security, and data teams) and serving as the technical partner they rely on throughout the sale.
Design the technical shape of the deal: run technical discovery and solution architecture across the sales motion, mapping Binti to each agency's systems, data, and workflows (Government Sales Managers own the product demo).
Own technical RFP responses and security questionnaires, and build the technical-win plan for strategic deals.
Partner with Product to develop demo resources, environments, and scripts that Government Sales Managers can run themselves, giving the field self-serve ways to demo Binti confidently. This includes learning to configure the Binti product yourself, the way our team does, and generating the data and profiles that make demos realistic and compelling, using modern AI tooling to do both efficiently.
Act as a force multiplier for the GSM team: build reusable, scalable resources (playbooks, templates, reference architectures, RFP and security-response libraries, and demo scripts) that let many GSMs self-serve, prioritizing leverage across the team over 1:1 support on every deal.
Partner with Sales on deal qualification, technical feasibility, and pipeline strategy.
Partner with the Integrations and Customer Delivery teams to make sure what is scoped in the sale is deliverable, and hand off cleanly into implementation.
Champion security and privacy, including HIPAA compliance for sensitive data, and make it easy for prospects to say yes to Binti's security posture.
Synthesize what you learn in the field into structured product feedback that helps shape what Binti builds next.
Use modern AI tooling to turn a curated knowledge base of past responses and reference architectures into strong first drafts of RFPs, security questionnaires, and design docs, cutting turnaround time so a small team can cover a large sales surface area.
SAMPLE PROJECTS
Own the technical narrative in a strategic state-level RFP, coordinating the response across Product, Engineering, and Security.
Run technical discovery and solution architecture for a new statewide prospect, then translate it into a clear technical-win plan the deal team can execute.
Build an AI-assisted RFP and security-questionnaire response system that turns a curated knowledge base into strong first drafts, measurably shortening turnaround on strategic deals.
Partner with a Government Sales Manager to navigate a customer security review and integration-architecture Q&A that unblocks a stalled deal.
WHO YOU ARE / WHAT WE LOVE ABOUT YOU
You have at least 8 years of experience, including prior time as a Sales Engineer or Solutions Architect at a cloud or SaaS company, ideally with gov-tech or government sales experience and a feel for how public-sector agencies buy, their procurement, security, and compliance processes, and how to navigate long, multi-stakeholder deals.
You are excellent at objection handling and hold your own as the technical voice in executive customer conversations.
You are adaptable and resilient, and you bring results-orientation, ownership, and urgency to a deal.
You have deep product and technical knowledge, and you are fluent in APIs, integrations, data, and security.
You excel at cross-functional collaboration across sales, product, delivery, and security.
You are energized by winning through technical trust, not just closing tickets or running demos, and you have a track record of making customers happy.
You think like a force multiplier: you instinctively turn one-off solutions into reusable assets that make an entire team better, rather than becoming the bottleneck on every deal.
You are allergic to "hero" culture and to being a single point of failure, and you actively work to avoid becoming one by creating tools and reusable resources that others can use.
You have a heart for storytelling and understand the power a compelling narrative can have in moving a sale forward.
You can translate complex technical concepts for non-technical government buyers, and you are comfortable with legacy and government systems and their tradeoffs.
You have excellent verbal, written, and interpersonal communication skills, and strong technical writing for RFPs.
You are comfortable with up to 25% travel. The SF Bay Area or Seattle is preferred where possible, but not required; remote is welcome for the right candidate.
You are interested in the possibilities of Gen AI, with experience and judgment there a big plus.
Nice to have: integrations experience, startup experience, and relevant certifications or continued education.
You have genuine passion for using technology to improve outcomes for children and families in the child welfare system.
