Join SADA as a Customer Engineer!

Your Mission 

As a Customer Engineer at SADA, you will work collaboratively with other architects and engineers to design, prototype, and inspire clients into Google Cloud services and properties. You will partner directly with sales teams, Google, and clients to qualify potential engagements, craft robust proposals, and deliver proposals plus contracts on which engineering teams can successfully execute. You are hands-on, able to conduct experiments, and build functioning prototypes that prove out ideas and build confidence in the solutions you advocate. 

You will direct early-stage opportunity/technical objectives calls and requests, as well as be a focused resource through the entire client lifecycle.

Pathway to Success

You will have your finger on the pulse of their technical needs and take pride in helping them solve their real-world problems with Google Cloud.

You focus on doing what is best for the client. You consult and guide – in a prescriptive manner.
