Description
The world of digital assets is accelerating in speed, magnitude, and complexity, opening the door to new ways for leveraging the blockchain. Fireblocks’ platform and network provide the simplest and most secure way for companies to work with digital assets and it trusted by some of the largest financial institutions, banks, globally-recognized brands, and Web3 companies in the world, including BNY Mellon, BNP Paribas, ANZ Bank, Revolut, and thousands more. About the Role
The Sales Engineer, Banking is a technically credible, commercially aware member of the EMEA SE team, responsible for the full technical sales cycle across banking opportunities in Western and Central Europe.
This is not a generalist SE role. You will be expected to engage deeply with treasury operations leads, custody technologists, CISOs, and risk committees inside Tier 1 and Tier 2 banks. You will need to understand how institutional banking technology works — core banking platforms, custody and settlement infrastructure, ISO 20022 and SWIFT messaging, and post-trade workflows — and be able to position Fireblocks clearly within that context. You will work closely with Banking-aligned Sales Directors across your region, taking primary responsibility for technical qualification, PoC delivery, RFP responses, and solution design from first engagement through to onboarding handoff.
What You'll Do
Technical Pre-Sales
Lead technical qualification for banking opportunities, distinguishing genuine digital asset programmes from exploratory noise
Deliver tailored product demonstrations to technical and executive audiences across custody, settlement, treasury, and compliance use cases
Scope, design, and deliver Proofs of Concept in bank environments — including navigating infosec review, sandbox provisioning, and API integration testing
Produce and own RFP, RFI, and DDQ responses for banking prospects, maintaining accuracy against Fireblocks' external security and compliance attestations
Present Fireblocks' security architecture to CISOs, CROs, risk committees, and product and business line leads with appropriate institutional credibility
Solution Design & Client Engagement
Translate institutional banking requirements — custody flows, settlement logic, treasury management, regulatory reporting — into Fireblocks solution architectures
Engage directly with bank technology teams on API integration patterns, core banking middleware, and operational workflow design
Co-develop technical account plans with Sales Directors, identifying the path from initial engagement to production deployment
Contribute to deal strategy on competitive situations, particularly against technology-first custody competitors
Cross-Functional Contribution
Act as the voice of the banking client in internal product and roadmap discussions
Contribute reusable technical content — solution briefs, reference architectures, PoC templates — that scale across the Banking vertical
Support onboarding handoff to Professional Services, ensuring continuity from sales into delivery
Participate in the EMEA SE enablement programme, contributing to banking-specific sessions and peer knowledge transfer
What You'll Bring
3–8 years in a pre-sales, solutions engineering, or technical consulting role, selling into or supporting Tier 1 or Tier 2 banks, financial market infrastructure, or capital markets firms
Direct experience managing complex, multi-stakeholder enterprise sales cycles in regulated financial institutions
Demonstrable track record of scoping and delivering PoCs or technical pilots in bank environments
Experience authoring RFP/RFI responses and engaging with bank procurement, legal, and infosec processes
Exposure to digital asset, tokenisation, or blockchain initiatives whether from a technology vendor, infrastructure provider, or within a bank's innovation function
