Tech Stack

About the role

  • Own the technical narrative in enterprise deals: Translate ambiguous client challenges into structured problem definitions and solution architectures grounded in real-world constraints such as data availability, infrastructure, and governance.
  • Turn conversations into working systems (fast): Build prototypes, POCs, and demos using real or representative data to validate feasibility and demonstrate impact.
  • Make AI real for clients: Shift discussions away from theoretical models toward practical applications, including decision systems, automation frameworks, and human-in-the-loop workflows.
  • Quantify and anchor business value: Define and communicate ROI tied directly to revenue growth, cost savings, or operational efficiency.
  • Partner with leadership and delivery teams: Collaborate directly with the founding team and senior leadership on strategic opportunities.
  • Drive complex enterprise deals forward: Engage both technical and business stakeholders, handle objections with clarity and logic, and guide conversations toward decisive outcomes.

Requirements

  • 4+ years in solution engineering, data, AI, consulting, or product-focused roles
  • Strong understanding of data architecture, including data warehouses, pipelines, and streaming systems
  • Experience with AI/ML systems, including LLMs, agent-based systems, and applied AI use cases
  • Ability to design solution architectures that integrate with existing enterprise ecosystems
  • Hands-on experience prototyping with SQL, Python, APIs, or dashboards
  • Proven ability to quickly translate ideas into tangible proofs of concept
  • Systems-level thinking, with a focus on end-to-end workflows rather than isolated features
  • Strong understanding of how businesses generate revenue and manage costs
  • Ability to connect technical solutions directly to financial and operational outcomes
  • Experience supporting or influencing complex deal cycles
  • Clear, structured, and concise communication style
  • Ability to simplify complex technical concepts for diverse audiences
  • Comfortable engaging with engineers, operators, and executive stakeholders
