Companies are building network and programming expertise in non-technical divisions as enterprise computing drives all facets of business. “When you look into organizations you might not normally think you can work in, like marketing and sales, you can find some of the most technical people in the company there,” said Broberg, who is trained as a vExpert for VMware and now works as editor for a Red Hat resource site. LinkedIn has noted that engineers represented the second-most-difficult job category in the world to fill and the sales engineer was in particularly high demand, with job openings predicted to grow 159%. Newly formed tech companies under pressure to begin generating sales are looking for talent in this area, along with more established firms, such as the enterprise storage company Cohesity Inc. “All the new companies are always hiring sales engineers; they have to get their sales up and running,” Colotti said. “For Cohesity, it’s a bit similar. The growth is unbelievable.”
