WHAT YOU'LL DO

  • Partner with Sales as the technical expert throughout the enterprise sales process
  • Lead technical demos, deep dives, and workshops with enterprise customers
  • Understand customer workflows, system landscapes, and technical requirements
  • Build prototypes and proof-of-concepts tailored to customer use cases
  • Design solutions and integrations across APIs, SAP, and other enterprise systems
  • Support customers from technical discovery through successful solution setup
  • Collaborate with Product and Engineering to turn customer insights into scalable product capabilities

  • Enjoy customer-facing work and translating complex requirements into technical solutions
  • Communicate confidently with both technical teams and senior business stakeholders
  • Like building and prototyping, not just presenting
  • Take ownership and thrive in fast-moving environments
  • Are excited about AI and its application in enterprise environments

You'll work directly with Fortune 500 companies, combining engineering and customer interaction to help some of the world's largest enterprises adopt AI.

You'll work closely with Sales, Product, and Engineering and have a direct impact on both our customers and the evolution of our platform.
