Assistant React Channel Jobs in Chicago, IL (NOW HIRING)

Threekit is looking for a hands-on Solutions Engineer to join our Sales Engineering team as a client-facing technical partner who demonstrates, configures, and articulates the value of Threekit's AI-native configure-price-quote platform. This isn't legacy CPQ with AI features bolted on; you'll show prospects how AI ingests messy catalogs, infers configuration and pricing rules, and produces accurate quotes in a fraction of the time and effort traditional CPQ demands.

This is a growth role for someone building depth in applied AI and quote-to-cash solutioning while operating with strong fundamentals in pre-sales and solution engineering. You'll partner closely with Account Executives through discovery, solution positioning, and demos, and work cross-functionally with Product, Engineering, Demo, and Forward-Deployed teams to keep every solution technically accurate.

The successful candidate must reside within a reasonable daily commuting distance of our Chicago office and be in the office for 2 days per week. Interested? Apply now!

Who We Are

Threekit is the Channel Sales Platform for Complex Products, a modern configure-to-quote workflow designed for how channel selling actually works. Threekit gives dealers and customers a faster way to select, visualize, configure, and quote complex products without the rigid structure of traditional CPQ systems. We help manufacturers make complex products easier to buy and sell through the systems they already trust.

What You'll Do

Sales & Customer Engagement

• Partner closely with Account Executives to support deals through technical discovery, solution positioning, and demonstrations.
• Participate in client-facing meetings and calls to map customer quoting workflows, product rules, approval paths, and the manual work AI can take off the table.

• Translate AI behavior, configuration logic, pricing structures, and integration concepts into clear explanations for technical and non-technical audiences.

Technical Growth & Market Awareness

• Build working knowledge of Threekit's AI architecture and how it drives the configuration engine, pricing model, and quoting stack.
• Stay informed on applied AI, CPQ, and quote-to-cash trends, including how legacy vendors are responding.
• Improve demo assets, documentation, and enablement materials.

• Work cross-functionally to ensure smooth handoffs and aligned expectations.
• Contribute to team knowledge-sharing and best practices.
