At HiBob, we believe work should be human, transparent, and empowering – and we’re on a mission to transform the HR experience with our innovative SaaS platform. We’re looking for a passionate, curious, and technically adept Senior Sales Engineer (Senior SE) who’s eager to grow, collaborate, and make a real impact. Our ideal candidate possesses general knowledge of the HR industry, business practices, and software systems, and has the ability to communicate the differentiated value of our platform. In this role, you’ll partner closely with our Account Executives, Product, Customer Success, and Professional Services teams to bring our products to life for customers. You’ll be a key connector between technical solutions and business outcomes – helping our clients understand how HiBob can transform their people operations and culture.

If you thrive on learning, enjoy solving problems creatively, and love working in a team that values openness and growth, this is the place for you.

• Contribute to team growth by leading internal enablement efforts, including training new hires, creating impactful demo assets, and refining messaging playbooks that elevate collective expertise.
• Stay agile and resilient by embracing change and shifting priorities with a solutions-oriented mindset.
• Embody HiBob’s values by fostering a positive, inclusive environment where teamwork and open communication drive success.
