What are the qualifications for this role?

Doesn't just apply to finance industry. If you are technical and can match that with knowledge of an industry you have a good mix. Bit of sales pizzazz doesn't hurt either.
Do you currently sell into financial services? How is you experience with selling GCP?
Sales eng at google is typically in Cloud or gTech. They are more sales than engineering. Expect very little development work. Customer solutions eng is is typically post-sale, which is more development / solution, and less sales.
Awesome this actually what I am looking for, more sales and less development. Are you currently in this role at google?
Not currently. But worked closely with people in both roles. If you enjoy using your technical know how plus your business understanding and develop simple MVPs to enable sales pitches, then give sales eng a go. Didnt want to sounds like a job posting here lol

I think they’re called Customer Engineers at Goog.
A generalist role is a customer engineer? I’ll look into that. A lot of the sales engineer reqs I see are super technical
