Qualifications Twilio values diverse experiences from all kinds of industries, and we encourage everyone who meets the required qualifications to apply. If your career is just starting or hasn't followed a traditional path, don't let that stop you from considering Twilio. We are always looking for people who will bring something new to the table! *Required: - Demonstrated ability to lead and win complex, multi-stakeholder solutions cycles (discovery → architecture → validation → proposal support). - 7+ years progressive presales experience (solutions engineering, sales engineering, or specialist overlay), including complex solution architecture. - 4+ years depth in at least one trust-related domain (identity verification, authentication, security, fraud/abuse, compliance), including: - Strong executive communication skills: ability to influence C-level and senior technical audiences with crisp architecture narratives and tradeoffs. - Proven ability to build durable cross-functional partnerships (Sales, SE leadership, Product, Engineering, Marketing) and drive outcomes through influence. - Experience capturing and communicating customer requirements and trends to influence product strategy/roadmap.
