Distinguished Field Solutions Engineer

Leading at Cognizant

This is a Leadership role at Cognizant. We believe how you lead is as significant as what you deliver.

About The Role

As a Distinguished Field Solutions Engineer, you will make an impact by serving as the senior technical leader for Cognizant AI Platforms and driving technical wins across enterprise pursuits.

The Distinguished Field Solutions Engineer (Distinguished FSE) is the senior technical anchor of an enterprise platform deal — an intensely client-facing and market-facing role at the front line of our go-to-market motion, engaging clients directly and championing our platforms in the market.

The FSE sits alongside account and sales teams to translate a client's engineering, AI, cloud and operations challenges into a credible, demonstrable solution built on our platforms.

The FSE owns the technical win: discovery, architecture fit, demos, proofs of concept, and the technical narrative that carries a deal from first conversation to signed commercial model.





Sales and commercial outcomes follow as a by-product of the mindshare and client confidence the FSE earns, rather than from direct selling.

Beyond the core technical-win role, the Distinguished FSE is also expected to:

Shape the direction of our platforms, and provide direction and oversight to the Product Managers in Platform Engineering.

Anticipate technology trends and client needs, keeping the portfolio ahead of the market.

Lead and grow the India-based PoC and Demo team.

Set the global standard for demos and coach demo teams worldwide.

Drive sales and adoption across our go-to-market teams.

Publish communications and success stories that build market momentum.

Provide mindshare across AI Platforms and to senior levels within the firm.

In This Role, You Will

Lead technical strategy, influence platform roadmap, build PoC and Demo teams, and represent Cognizant in client and industry engagements.

Partners with sales, account and pro
