The people at HackerRank care deeply about their work and have an extremely intense work ethic. In many companies, speed & quality is a tradeoff. At HackerRank, it's not -- we expect you to ship in about half the time that most competent people think is possible while maintaining a standard of quality you'd proudly sign your name on. The only way to make this happen is if you truly love your craft and are deeply committed to growth.

  • Confident speaking onsite with enterprise customers, whether it's delivering a demo, gathering requirements, and turning them into high-impact workflows and solutions.
  • A clear communicator who can go deep with engineers or simplify for non-technical crowds.
  • You bring energy, creativity, and a problem-solver's mindset to every customer engagement.
Even better if you have
  • Experience as a software, solutions, or sales engineer working with HR tech, ATS platforms, IDEs, developer tools, API-first or integration-heavy systems.
  • Project management chops. Ultra organized, you can set (and meet) project deadlines.
You will thrive in this role if
  • You love mixing engineering, consulting, and delivery, owning every step of the journey.
  • You want every project to feel like a new challenge.
  • You set and uphold high standards for excellence for yourself and those around you.
Compensation
  • Base salary range: $160,000-$185,000.
  • This range doesn't include commissions, bonuses, stock options, or benefits.
  • Final offer may vary based on skills, experience, location, and other compensation components.
