It also trains suitable candidates where needed. This is becoming the norm, as companies realise the value of non-traditional skills in tech-focused roles. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Women who can lead, communicate, and tell stories that resonate shouldn\u2019t assume they don\u2019t have the \u2018right\u2019 background for Solution Engineering roles. In fact, they should look at the chance to learn new tech skills as being another arrow in an ever-growing quiver.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As Daphne says: \u201cSolution Engineers fall into two broad categories. There are the more technical SEs and the business SEs. Technical SEs are truly passionate about application development, security, encryption, APIs, integration, data strategies, and so on. They are problem-solvers and challengers, with an amazing capability to offer detailed explanations for strategic decisions. Business SEs, meanwhile, surprise and delight customers with creative, benefit-rich solution prototypes. We aim to build a well-balanced team, with different backgrounds and varied skills, so that we can offer the best experiences to our customers.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-solution-engineering-is-a-team-effort\"><b>Solution engineering is a team effort<\/b><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This idea of building a cognitively diverse team points towards a new age of problem-solving. In this new world, the whole is stronger than its parts. And no obstacle is impossible to overcome. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A varied but tight-knit team is one of the things that makes working at Salesforce so enjoyable. \u201cWe run brainstorming sessions, workshops on any topic, plan team-building activities, online and offline gatherings \u2014 and much more,\u201d Daphne says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Daphne finds it particularly rewarding to collaborate with stakeholders to maximise their potential. \u201cWhen I joined Salesforce as a Solution Engineer, I quickly learned that it\u2019s about being able to truly connect with your customer.
