A degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Mathematics, Physics or a related discipline — or equivalent demonstrable technical ability
Comfortable writing code in at least one of Python, Go, JavaScript/Node.js or Java — enough to build working examples, integrations and small tools. Show us something you've built: side projects, hackathon entries, open-source contributions or coursework you're proud of all count. If you have supporting material, please submit that as part of your application
Familiarity with Linux fundamentals and the command line
Some exposure to working with data — SQL, NoSQL, CSVs and scripts, or data coursework
Excellent communication skills: you can explain a technical concept simply, to a technical or non-technical audience, in writing and in person
Curiosity about how businesses and physical operations work — one week you might be learning about battery telemetry, the next about network monitoring
Comfort with ambiguity and a bias for figuring things out: the best people in this role treat "I don't know yet" as the start of the fun
Fluent written and spoken English
Tinkered with hardware, sensors or microcontrollers — Raspberry Pi, Arduino, home automation, robotics, vehicles
Any exposure to IoT or industrial technologies: MQTT, OPC-UA, SCADA, PLCs, telemetry
Used monitoring or observability tools such as Grafana, Prometheus or InfluxDB itself
Experience with Docker, Kubernetes or a cloud provider (AWS, Azure, GCP)
Built anything with LLMs or AI developer tools
Spoken/written fluency in other European languages
If you’ve recently graduated, an internship or placement year is viewed very favourably
HOW YOU'LL GROW
You will be paired with senior Sales Engineers who will mentor you on both the technical and commercial sides of the role. Expect a structured ramp: product training and certification first, then shadowing live deals, then owning your own technical engagements. The path from Associate SE leads to Sales Engineer and beyond — into senior pre-sales, solutions architecture, product or engineering, depending on where your strengths take you
