+             <h3><strong>SALES ENGINEER, BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT TEAM</strong></h3>
+           <p>A great relationship with edX begins long before the first student signs up. We are
+looking for some talented, self-motivated people to help set a solid foundation for
+our emerging corporate customers, NGO’s, and governmental partners. As the Sales
+Engineer you will be expected to provide oversight if requested over more junior
+staff. This may include skills development, knowledge transfer, sharing technical
+expertise, and review of demos prior to presentation. The Sales Engineer should
+have familiarity with instructional design and competency in that area is a plus.</p>
+
+<p>Experience teaching and mentoring, needs assessment and prior management
+responsibility, and LMS experience, also a plus. This is a team atmosphere with
+many constituencies working to develop a new global perspective regarding higher
+education and online learning. Respect and patience, along with knowledge and
+understanding of the development process is critical to success in order to maintain
+strong bonds between development teams, sales team, and prospect/client
+implementation teams. In addition the Sales Engineer may also work with our
+xUniversity partners and the affiliated professors joining the edX movement. This
+position requires customer facing skills, comfort in demonstrating the product, and
+ability to code ‘demos’ as required. Additionally you will be contributing to
+proposals, so clear documentation and writing skills are critical. The job will
+require travel to client sites around the US upon occasion, and possibly
+internationally as well. Job also requires good speaking skills, and a willingness and
+ability to communicate clearly and respond quickly to prospect and customer
+requests. This is a salaried position and will on occasion require work and
+responsiveness to both the edX team and customers ‘after hours’. This position
+reports to the VP, Business Development and will be dotted lined to the
+development and program management teams.</p>
+           <p><strong>Responsibilities:</strong></p>
+           <ul>
+               <li>Can code demos and evaluate demos of others</li>
+               <li>Prepare and deliver standard and custom demonstrations</li>
+               <li>Handle all pre-sales technical issues professionally and efficiently</li>
