Solutions Engineer (London or San Francisco Bay Area)
Background:
As part of the Acunu Services organisation, you will work with customers throughout the pre-sales, solution definition, implementation and support lifecycle -- from understanding the problems that the customer is trying to solve, building demonstrations and proof of concept prototypes through to design and implementation. The role will involve collaborating closely with the Acunu product development and sales teams.

This role is central to demonstrating the benefits of Acunu’s solutions, and then delivering them.
Key Responsibilities:
- Become an expert in the architecture, deployment and use-cases for Acunu's software
- Understand and capture customer pain points and gather new requirements
- Design, integrate, install and support Acunu's software deployments, at startups and enterprises
