Full Job Description
About Perplexity Perplexity is the answer engine for the AI era. We are scaling a fast-growing enterprise business and building the operating system that runs it. Our GTM stack is modern, API-first, and Snowflake-native. We build before we buy, and we ship. The Role We are hiring a Sales Systems Engineer to own the technical layer underneath our enterprise sales motion. This person runs CPQ, account and lead scoring, data orchestration, and the integrations that connect Salesforce, Snowflake, and the rest of our GTM stack. You will be the technical owner of how deals get priced, quoted, scored, routed, and tracked. You will work directly with sales, finance, marketing ops, and product to build a system that scales from where we are now to a billion-dollar-ARR business. This is a builder role. You should be equally comfortable writing SQL in Snowflake, building Salesforce flows, configuring CPQ rules, debugging a Workato recipe, and shipping a Python script to fix a data problem before the seller notices. What You Will Own - CPQ: Quote-to-cash configuration, product catalog, pricing rules, approval workflows, discount governance, contract generation. Partner with Finance and Legal on guardrails. - Scoring: Account scoring, lead scoring, PLG activation scoring, intent signal aggregation. Build and maintain scoring models in Snowflake, push scores to Salesforce via reverse ETL. - Data orchestration: Polytomic, Hightouch, and Workato pipelines that move data across Snowflake, Salesforce, NetSuite, Apollo, Unify, and the rest of the stack. Own SLAs, monitoring, and breakage response. - Salesforce engineering: Flows, validation rules, formula fields, custom objects, Apex when needed, Lightning page configuration, permission sets, sandbox management. - Integrations: API-level integration work across our GTM tools. Build custom connectors when off-the-shelf does not cut it. - Routing and ownership: Account routing logic, opportunity assignment rules, territory management, R
