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.

We will help teach these concepts.</li> <li>Adaptable & Scrappy: You thrive in a fast-paced sales environment and are comfortable shifting priorities when an urgent demo request comes in.</li> <li>Life Insurance & Annuity Domain knowledge is a plus, but not required.</li> </ul> <p> </p> <p><strong>Core Technical Skills:</strong></p> <ul> <li>Must-Have</li> <ul> <li>TypeScript Backend / Node</li> <li>TypeScript Frontend / React</li> <li>REST API Consumption & Debugging</li> <li>AWS Basics (Cognito, S3, CloudWatch)</li> <li>Data Seeding & Environment Management</li> </ul> <li>Nice-To-Have</li> <ul> <li>Python Scripting</li> <li>CI/CD Troubleshooting</li> <li>PHP</li> </ul> </ul> <p><br><strong>Career Progression:</strong> </p> <p>This is an entry-point into strategic enterprise solution consulting.
