About the Role
Salesforce is the #1 AI CRM, where ambition meets action and innovation is a way of life. As a Principal Solution Engineer within the Solutions Center of Excellence (COE), you will bridge the gap between Tableau’s product capabilities and the needs of the field sales teams. Tableau’s business spans an established cloud and server customer base alongside rapidly growing Tableau Next and agentic capabilities. Working in fast-paced 90-day sprints, you will partner closely with Solutions Engineers and sometimes directly with customers to identify gaps, build prototypes, and deliver scalable solutions that the field can confidently use.

Your responsibilities include partnering with field Solutions Engineers to understand their needs and drive adoption of new capabilities, building working prototypes using AI-assisted coding tools, engaging with strategic and executive customers to validate solutions, and maintaining technical assets such as competitive readiness materials and demo environments. You will experiment with new AI capabilities, act as a subject-matter expert on Tableau Cloud and Tableau Desktop, and share best practices across the COE to empower the entire field. This role requires deep technical fluency, agility in a fast-changing environment, and a passion for delivering impactful solutions that accelerate customer success.

Experience
Several years of hands-on experience in solutions engineering, sales engineering, or technical pre-sales, ideally with analytics, business intelligence, or data platforms. Deep, current expertise in Tableau Cloud and Tableau Desktop as a genuine product subject-matter expert. Proven ability to independently build working technical prototypes, including using AI-assisted coding tools. Experience partnering with field or sales organizations to translate feedback into actionable product improvements. Comfortable working in a fast-paced environment with shifting priorities and delivering results in short cycles.

About you
You are a proactive and collaborative professional who thrives on solving complex technical challenges and driving adoption of innovative solutions. You communicate technical gaps and opportunities clearly and build trust with field teams without always being present. You have a strong customer focus and enjoy engaging with strategic and executive-level stakeholders. Adaptability, technical curiosity, and a passion for AI and analytics are key traits.

Qualifications
Experience with Tableau, Salesforce, or other enterprise data and analytics platforms is highly desirable. Familiarity with model context protocol (MCP)-based integrations or agentic workflows is a plus. Experience contributing to structured feedback loops between field and product organizations and supporting customers or colleagues across regions is advantageous.
