As a Senior Solutions Engineer based in Rome, you will join Neo4j's Pre‑Sales Solutions Engineering team and work with strategic and enterprise customers across key verticals in the Benelux region, including high‑tech manufacturing, energy & utilities, telecommunications, financial services and the public sector. In this role you will guide customers through the entire sales journey, from discovery and requirements gathering to architecture design, proof‑of‑value and long‑term adoption. Daily activities include building and nurturing relationships with customer teams, partnering with Account Executives to convey the technical and business impact of graph solutions, and ensuring smooth integration of Neo4j into existing IT landscapes.
