About The Role: The Solution Engineer sits at the intersection of energy markets, quantitative finance, and technical sales, owning the translation of cQuant.io’s advanced risk analytics into clear, client-specific solutions. Working hand-in-hand with Sales, Product, and Analysts, this role leads complex client engagements - from discovery and solution design through tailored demos, proof-of-concepts, and technical proposals. The Solution Engineer engages deeply with energy and commodities clients to understand trading, risk, and valuation challenges, responds to RFPs with precision, and shapes solution architectures that align with real-world use cases across power and gas markets. With strong grounding in computational finance and energy risk management, this role also feeds market insight back into product strategy, helping refine cQuant.io’s platform and strengthen its position in the energy analytics landscape.

Develop and deliver customized technical presentations, proof-of-concepts, and demonstrations tailored to client objectives and use cases.
• Client Engagement: Engage with prospective clients to understand their business challenges, risk management needs, and technical requirements. Provide detailed and accurate technical responses to RFPs (Request for Proposals), RFIs (Request for Information), and other client inquiries. Collaborate with clients to identify and articulate their needs, ensuring that our solutions meet or exceed their expectations.
• Solution Design and Strategy: Work with product management and analyst teams to refine solution strategies based on client feedback and market trends. Develop detailed technical proposals, including solution architecture, integration plans, and implementation strategies. Offer input on product enhancements and new features based on client interactions and feedback.
• Market and Product Knowledge: Stay updated with industry trends, emerging technologies, and the competitive landscape in energy risk analytics. Continuously enhance technical knowledge of cQuant.io’s products and services, as well as the broader energy risk management ecosystem. Share insights and best practices with the sales team to improve overall sales effectiveness and client engagement.
• Collaboration and Communication: Act as a liaison between the sales team, clients, and internal technical teams to ensure alignment and successful execution of the sales strategy. Collaborate with marketing and product teams to create sales collateral, case studies, and other materials that support the sales process. Contribute to the development and refinement of presales processes, tools, and methodologies.
