Our client is actively seeking an experienced Sales Engineer responsible for pre-sales technical support throughout their business development and sales life-cycle. This opportunity will allow the candidate to continue to refine their sales and consulting skills, as well as enhance their working knowledge of new Microsoft technologies. In this role, the Sales Engineer will be assisting clients who have built web applications and who are looking to customize them prior to sale.
