As a critical part of the account team, SEs use their technical expertise to strategize with customers on their observability strategy, conduct product demonstrations, and support technical evaluations. This is an influential role, where Sales Engineers help qualify and close opportunities with customers and have a voice with the product team to help prioritize features based on input from customers, competitors, and partners.
