Sydney | Work-from-home first

Why this role stands out

Pre-sales role with real technical depth
Partner with Account Executives to lead technical discovery, run tailored demos, shape customer analyses and help prospects understand the value of cloud cost optimisation.

Work in a fast-growing cloud infrastructure market
Help customers reduce cloud spend across major cloud environments by using data, automation and optimisation to improve savings outcomes and reduce manual effort.

Join early in the ANZ growth journey
This is a high-growth cloud technology business operating with the pace and autonomy of a scale-up. The ANZ team is still early in its growth journey, so this role will suit someone who enjoys solving problems, building structure and helping shape how pre-sales is delivered locally.

About the business

Our client is a high-growth cloud technology business helping organisations reduce and optimise cloud costs across major cloud environments.

The platform focuses on improving the commercial efficiency of existing cloud usage. In simple terms, it helps customers pay less for the cloud services they already consume by using automation, data and intelligent optimisation.

Cloud usage changes constantly, and managing cloud commercial commitments manually can be complex, time-consuming and risky. This can lead to wasted spend, missed savings or limited flexibility. The platform helps customers improve savings outcomes, reduce manual effort and make more confident cloud cost decisions.

The business operates with the pace and autonomy of a scale-up, with the support and reach of a larger global technology environment.

The opportunity

This is a pre-sales Sales Engineer role for someone with strong cloud optimisation, FinOps or cloud infrastructure experience who enjoys working closely with customers and sales teams.

You’ll partner with Account Executives across the majority of the sales cycle, helping prospects understand their cloud cost challenges, quantify savings opportunities and see how the platform can deliver measurable value.

The role is heavily pre-sales focused, covering technical discovery, tailored demos, customer analysis, technical validation and value-led conversations. Around 15% of the role may involve post-sales support, mainly around customer questions, optimisation strategy or product feedback.

You’ll be joining the ANZ team at an early stage of its growth journey, giving you the chance to help shape the local pre-sales motion, build repeatable processes and have direct impact on customer and revenue outcomes.

  • Translating complex cloud cost and optimisation concepts into clear customer insights
  • Acting as a subject matter expert across cloud cost optimisation and commitment-based pricing models
  • Preparing clear write-ups, recommendations and customer-facing insights
  • Answering technical questions around the platform and optimisation strategies
  • Supporting sales teams to build confidence, progress opportunities and close new business
  • Sharing feedback with Product to help improve reporting, automation and customer outcomes
  • Providing light post-sales support where needed around platform questions, optimisation strategy and customer feedback

What you’ll bring

  • Experience in a Sales Engineer, Solutions Consultant, Pre-Sales Engineer, FinOps Specialist, Cloud Consultant or cloud optimisation role
  • Strong hands-on experience with cloud cost optimisation
  • Experience with cloud billing data, usage analysis, cost tools and/or cloud management platforms
  • Strong understanding of cloud commitment models and commercial optimisation strategies
  • Experience supporting pre-sales conversations, demos, technical discovery or customer-facing solution design
  • Ability to analyse cloud usage, cost data and savings opportunities
  • Confidence engaging with technical stakeholders such as Heads of Cloud, Cloud Architects, Infrastructure leaders, Engineering teams and FinOps practitioners

  • Ability to make API calls and run queries to collect, analyse and manipulate data
  • Experience with data, BI or query tools would be highly regarded
  • A curious, analytical and problem-solving mindset
  • Comfort working in a smaller, earlier-stage, scale-up or developing regional environment

Cloud optimisation, FinOps, cloud billing, infrastructure or pre-sales experience would all be highly relevant. What matters most is your ability to understand cloud cost data, identify savings opportunities and communicate insights in a way prospects and customers can act on.

  • Cloud pre-sales or sales engineering
  • FinOps or cloud cost optimisation
  • Cloud consulting or managed cloud services
  • Cloud engineering with strong cost optimisation exposure

  • Strong cloud cost optimisation experience
  • Hands-on experience with cloud cost tools, billing data or cloud usage analysis

  • A startup mindset, with the ability to solve problems and help create a playbook

Why apply?

This is a strong opportunity for a cloud-focused Sales Engineer who wants to work at the front end of the sales cycle, helping customers understand complex cloud optimisation challenges and quantify clear savings opportunities.

You’ll join a lean ANZ team at an exciting stage of growth, with autonomy, visibility and the chance to help shape the local pre-sales motion.

Minimum 1 day per week in office
Local travel, plus annual overseas sales kickoff

Why this role stands out

True new logo sales role
Own the full sales cycle with a clear focus on building pipeline and winning net new logos across commercial and enterprise accounts.

Join early in the ANZ growth journey
This is a high-growth cloud business operating with the pace and autonomy of a scale-up, while backed by a larger global technology group. The ANZ team is still early in its growth journey, so this role will suit someone who has worked in smaller, earlier-stage or developing regional environments where they have had to create pipeline, build momentum and win new customers.

Strong product-market fit
Sell an autonomous cloud cost optimisation platform that helps customers reduce cloud spend by optimising committed-use discounts, savings plans and reserved capacity across major cloud platforms. It is a clear ROI sale, with savings that are measurable and commercially meaningful.

About the business

Our client is a high-growth cloud technology business helping organisations reduce cloud costs across major cloud platforms.

The platform focuses on cloud rate optimisation, not cloud migration or workload optimisation. In simple terms, it helps customers pay less for the cloud usage they already have by automating the management of discount instruments such as savings plans, reserved instances and committed-use discounts.

Cloud usage changes constantly, but cloud commitments can be difficult to manage manually. This can lead to wasted spend, missed savings or unnecessary lock-in risk. The platform uses automation, machine learning and real-time usage data to continuously optimise cloud commitments, helping customers maximise savings while reducing manual effort.

  • Building net new pipeline across commercial and enterprise accounts
  • Targeting organisations with significant cloud spend across major cloud platforms

  • Running discovery to uncover cloud cost challenges, budget pressures, commitment risk, renewal timing and decision process
  • Positioning cloud rate optimisation in a simple, commercial and value-led way
  • Building clear ROI cases around cost reduction, savings improvement and reduced manual effort
  • Running tailored demos and customer conversations with support from sales engineering
  • Managing multi-stakeholder sales cycles across technical, commercial and executive buyers
  • Working with cloud providers, resellers and consultants to support new business opportunities
  • Maintaining strong CRM discipline, pipeline hygiene and forecast accuracy
  • Delivering against quarterly new business revenue targets

What you’ll bring

  • Proven experience selling cloud technology, cloud infrastructure, cloud optimisation or cloud-based SaaS solutions
  • Strong understanding of cloud environments, ideally across AWS, Azure and/or Google Cloud
  • Experience selling into cloud, infrastructure, engineering, architecture or FinOps stakeholders
  • A strong track record of outbound prospecting and winning net new logos in the cloud technology space

  • Ability to understand cloud cost, usage, optimisation or infrastructure challenges and turn them into a clear business case
  • Strong discovery, qualification and value-selling skills in technical sales environments
  • Experience working in a smaller, earlier-stage, scale-up or developing regional environment
  • Strong communication and presentation skills, with the ability to simplify technical cloud concepts for business buyers
  • Good CRM discipline, pipeline management and forecast accuracy
  • Self-motivated, coachable and comfortable building momentum in a fast-moving environment

Cloud optimisation, FinOps or cloud cost management experience would be highly regarded. What matters most is your ability to sell cloud solutions into technical audiences, open new opportunities and close net new business.

Backgrounds that could work well

This role could suit someone from:

  • Cloud software or infrastructure sales
  • Cloud cost optimisation or FinOps sales
  • SaaS sales into cloud, engineering or infrastructure stakeholders
  • Managed cloud services or cloud consulting
  • Technology consulting or systems integration
  • Smaller, earlier-stage or high-growth cloud technology businesses

The hiring team is particularly interested in people who have helped build pipeline and momentum in a less established environment. This is not about inheriting a warm patch – it is about creating opportunity.

What you’ll need

  • 3+ years’ success in cloud software, cloud infrastructure, cloud optimisation or cloud-focused SaaS sales
  • Demonstrated experience building pipeline through outbound activity
  • Experience selling into commercial or enterprise accounts
  • Ability to engage senior technical decision makers
  • Strong understanding of cloud infrastructure or major cloud platforms
