y is at the forefront of helping organisations navigate the rapidly evolving technology landscape.
With the rise of AI, ensuring accurate candidate assessment and skill validation is more critical than ever.
Our mission is to empower companies to hire the best technical talent, providing a robust assessment platform that gives engineering teams real signals on coding ability, problem-solving, and technical judgement at scale.
We’re looking for a technically confident, commercially mind

ng to lead and build ou
r Solutions Engineering function
.
This is a hands-on leadership role for someone who can operate credibly with senior engineering and talent stakeholders, support complex enterprise sales conversations, and help customers implement Codility effectively after purchase.
This is not a pure people-management role and it is not a purely transactional pre-sales role.
You will be expected to personally engage with strategic customers, lead technical discovery, support demos and technical validation, shape implementation plans, drive that ensuing implementation and coach a small but growing team of Solutions Engineers.
You will help define what excellent Solutions Engineering looks like at Codility, while staying close enough to customers and the product to lead from the front.
Who You Are
- You have genuine technical literacy - you can read a code snippet, understand what an API does, and engage credibly with engineering stakeholders without faking it.
- You have proven experience in Solutions Engineering, Forward Deployed Engineering, Sales Engineering, Customer Engineering, Technical Account Management, Technical Consulting, or a related customer-facing technical role within B2B SaaS.
- You have led, managed, mentored, or provided strong functional leadership to Solutions Engineers, Sales Engineers, Forward Deployed Engineers or customer-facing technical teams.
- You are comfortable acting as a player-coach: setting standards, coaching others, and building process, while still personally owning important customer conversations.
- Proven experience working with enterprise customers with complex, global stakeholder structures.
- Able to lead technical discovery, understand customer requirements, and recommend practical solutions.
- Solutions-oriented, demonstrating ownership and proactive problem-solving.
- Comfortable supporting both pre-sales and post-sales customer conversations where technical expertise is needed.
- Hands-on experience with REST APIs, scripting, automation, integrations, or technical troubleshooting is a plus.
- Some exposure to assessment design, technical hiring, skills validation, or IO psychology is a plus. You don’t need to be a scientist, but you should be curious about what makes a good assessment.
What The Job Involves
- Lead and develop Codility’s Solutions Engineering function, setting the standard for how we support customers technically across pre-sales, implementation, adoption, and expansion.
- Act as a hands-on technical leader for strategic enterprise accounts, leading customer implementations through to success.
- Support complex technical sales conversations, including discovery, demos, proof-of-concept discussions, technical validation, security or integration questions, and implementation planning.
- Coach and support Solutions Engineers in running effective discovery, delivering strong demos, managing technical objections, and driving customer confidence in Codility.
- Coach and support Solutions Engineers Managing accounts post sales through integration and delivery.
- Co-design and configure technical assessments with customers, advising on task selection, language coverage, difficulty calibration, and role-appropriate benchmarking.
- Lead technical workshops and enablement sessions with engineering, talent, and operations teams to drive adoption and improve customer confidence in the platform.
- Review platform usage, assessment results, and customer data to identify risks, blockers, and opportunities for improvement.
- Help customers understand whether their assessments are producing useful signal and guide them toward more effective, scalable use of the platform.
- Partner closely with Sales, Account Management, and Customer Success on renewal strategy, expansion opportunities and long-term account health from a technical perspective.
- Build strong internal feedback loops so that customer insight from the field informs product, content, implementation, and customer experience decisions.
- Stay close to how AI is changing software engineering and technical assessment, and help customers think through what this means for their hiring processes.
- Ready to help engineering organisations build smarter, more technically rigorous hiring processes?
- Apply today.
