About Covlant

Covlant is building the AI-native quality layer for modern software teams. Most engineering organizations face the same trade-off on every release: run the entire regression suite and wait hours for feedback, or run a subset and risk letting defects slip into production. Covlant removes that trade-off.

Our AI-driven impact testing platform analyzes every pull request against a deep map of the entire codebase to understand exactly what changed and what that change affects. It then selects the right tests from a team's existing suites to cover the impacted code paths. Where coverage is missing, Covlant's quality agents generate and validate new tests, so only meaningful, trustworthy tests are run.

Engineers and QA teams stay in control through a clear review experience that shows what was tested, what passed or failed, and why.

The result is faster feedback loops, leaner regression cycles, lower test-maintenance overhead, and greater confidence in every release. Covlant fits into the tools teams already use across their CI/CD pipelines and development workflows.

We're an early-stage company working with enterprise engineering and QA teams, and we're growing our team in Bangalore. Joining Covlant now means shaping how the product is positioned, sold, and adopted, working closely with founders, Product, and Engineering, and helping define a new category in software quality.

Role - Presales Engineer

Covlant is hiring a customer-facing Presales Engineer to lead technical discovery, tailored demos, proof-of-concepts, and solution design for enterprise prospects evaluating our software testing and quality-engineering platform.

They should be able to engage credibly with engineering and QA teams, understand complex testing challenges, and articulate Covlant’s capabilities in terms of tangible operational and business outcomes.

Key responsibilities

- Lead technical discovery to understand a prospect’s applications, testing maturity, release workflow, toolchain, integrations, security needs, stakeholders, and decision criteria.
- Deliver tailored product demos, workshops, architecture discussions, and technical presentations for QA, engineering, IT, and executive stakeholders.
- Scope and run POCs with clear use cases, customer commitments, success criteria, milestones, risks, and a conversion plan.
- Partner with Account Executives/Sales leadership to develop technical win plans, address objections, and progress enterprise opportunities.
- Handle technical evaluations, RFP/RFI responses, security questionnaires, integration discussions, and solution-design requests.
- Advise prospects on test automation strategy, CI/CD integration, test reliability, regression efficiency, and implementation best practices.
- Translate product capabilities into quantified customer value—for example, reduced regression effort, faster release cycles, lower test-maintenance cost,



improved automation coverage, and reduced production-defect risk—and build credible ROI/value cases for buyers.
- Create reusable demo environments, discovery frameworks, POC templates, solution briefs, and competitive/technical collateral.
- Feed recurring customer needs, objections, gaps, and market insights back to Product, Engineering, and GTM teams.
- Ensure a structured technical handoff from closed-won opportunities to implementation or customer-success teams.

Ideal candidate profile

- 4–7 years of overall experience, with meaningful early hands-on work in software development, QA, SDET, test automation, or implementation.
- 2–4 years in a customer-facing technical role: Presales Engineer, Solutions Engineer, Solution Consultant, Technical Consultant, or similar.
- Robust experience in QA/testing and automation, including practical familiarity with tools and concepts such as Selenium, Playwright, Cypress, Appium, API testing, CI/CD, Git, Jira, Jenkins/GitHub Actions, cloud testing, and test frameworks.
- Can communicate confidently with QA leads, engineering leaders, architects, product teams, and executive sponsors.
- Has led or materially contributed to tailored demos, POCs, technical discovery, solution proposals, and enterprise evaluations.
- Comfortable navigating integrations, APIs, SSO/RBAC, security reviews, cloud/SaaS architecture, and enterprise buying processes.
- Commercially aware: able to turn technical outcomes into a business case, quantify impact, and support sales teams through complex deal cycles.
- High ownership and comfortable operating in an early-stage SaaS environment.
