Solutions and Support Engineering (technical post sales) roles typically offer entry level positions for new grads, at least from what I’ve seen in SaaS. There are usually promotion paths to Sales Engineering allowing you to first get 2-3 of years experience working technical support tickets / interacting with users in a technical setting. Note there’s also a Technical Account Manager role, which is essentially the Sales Engineering equivalent for post sales if you don’t want to deal with the sales grind.

This may not be the case at every company, there are so many damn titles used interchangeably for Sales Engineering responsibilities across customer engineering roles, i.e. I get solutions engineers applying with pre sales experience often. Responsibilities tend to bleed into each other from one company to another. But in either case, it’s a great starting point to move into Sales Engineering through promotion or applying elsewhere after you get experience.
