Brag Doc Template
Solutions Engineer Brag Doc
A brag doc for a Solutions Engineer is the record of deals you supported through technical complexity, customer integrations that landed cleanly, technical-win moments that closed competitive deals, and the AE partnership work that turned 'maybe' deals into closed-won. The template below captures that.

Solutions Engineer Brag Doc
What to include
SE calibration is built on deals supported (revenue attached), technical-win quality, customer-integration outcomes, and AE partnership. Quantify everything (deals supported, win rate on supported deals, integration time-to-live, demos given). Name specific deals you closed by your technical work and specific AEs who would back the partnership.

Weak vs. Strong bullets
The format does the easy part. The bullets carry the weight. A few examples to set the bar.
Weak
Helped close deals.
Strong
Supported 23 deals this half. 19 closed-won at $4.8M aggregate ARR. Win rate on supported deals was 83% vs 67% team baseline on unsupported. The biggest single deal (Stripe at $640K) closed because the technical demo I built in week 11 disproved Stripe procurement's concern about throughput at their scale.
Weak
Built a POC.
Strong
Built a 5-day POC for the Plaid deal that proved out our latency claims on their actual traffic shape (3.4M events/day, p99 under 80ms required). POC ran clean across 72 hours of replay traffic; deal closed at $480K ARR with no further technical questions. The POC template is now standard for any deal over $300K.
Weak
Partnered with an AE.
Strong
Built the working pattern with Alex (AE) on 6 of 7 enterprise closes this half. SE in the room from meeting 2 (not meeting 4), joint demo-prep doc 24 hours before each call, post-call debrief in same Slack thread within an hour. Alex's manager cited the pattern in his year-end review. Three other AE-SE pairs adopted the pattern.
Manual template vs. Bloomly generated report
Manual brag doc
- Works when you already remember the right examples.
- Requires manual sorting, rewriting, and evidence cleanup.
- Best for a one-time draft or printable structure.
Bloomly generated report
- Starts from the work you captured when it happened.
- Organizes entries by goals, skills, impact, and review period.
- Turns daily evidence into shareable summaries and PDF reports.
You don't fill out a Bloomly report. Bloomly writes it.
The template above is the manual version. Bloomly is the generated version. Thirty seconds when something good happens (speak it or type it) and at review time the entire document is in your share sheet. Same shape as the template. Your numbers, your names, your dates. Already written.
