Sales Engineer — Technical Sales Development Program (Canada)

Turn Your Technical Background Into a High-Growth Sales Career Telence Solutions is a fast-growing consulting firm delivering professional services across the full networking and security landscape — Nokia, Cisco, Juniper, Ciena, Arista, Versa, Palo Alto Networks, and full optical solutions. We're built by industry veterans, including leadership with 20 years running a major carrier-grade services organization, and we're now investing directly in the next generation of technical sales talent in the US West region. This isn't a typical entry-level sales job. It's a structured, hands-on development program for people who already understand networking equipment and are ready to build a career translating that knowledge into deals, relationships, and revenue. You'll be trained personally, mentored closely, and given real ownership as you grow — with earning potential that scales far beyond a traditional entry-level role.
