Sales Engineer

At Mechanical Orchard we specialize in safely rewriting the most critical and complex business applications—the software that runs the world as we know it today—so they’re ready to adapt quickly and easily to market challenges and opportunities. Our approach emerged from observing the decades-long failure patterns in modernization efforts and is designed to eliminate the risks and disruptions that characterize most projects.

Our background in software development and the impact on the industry is well known: we've literally helped write the book on XP and other impactful Agile practices. We’re applying the same thoughtfulness and rigor in applying AI pragmatically where it helps. We believe in the durable principles behind Agile and embrace the power of cross-functional teams collective ownership test driven development short feedback loops and continuous improvement.

We’re bringing joy to beleaguered IT teams everywhere. Together we’re seeing how applying craft expertise and technologies we’re building can fundamentally transform the way companies operate innovate and win. Our values are: Do the right thing. Do what works. Be kind.

To help us fulfill our mission of reinventing the software that runs the world we’re looking for a Sales Engineer responsible for earning a technical win across opportunities extensions expansions and renewals.
