Senior Sales Engineer
About the role
The role
We are building a high-performance AI inference platform for developer-native teams running latency- and cost-sensitive workloads at scale.
In AI infrastructure, PoC success does not always guarantee production success. This role exists to ensure that what we commit to with customers is scalable, efficient, and aligned with platform strategy.
We are looking for a Senior Sales Engineer to become a foundational technical partner to our customers and a force multiplier for Sales and Engineering. You will shape complex AI workloads from first discovery through production feasibility validation, ensuring technical rigor, economic viability, and scalable architecture decisions.
You will operate at the intersection of customer ambition, engineering reality, and commercial growth, influencing:
- Revenue quality
- Engineering focus
- Product evolution
- Customer trust at scale
You’re welcome to work remotely from the United States.
Your responsibilities will include:
Strategic Technical Discovery
- Lead deep technical discovery with engineering teams and technical founders
- Understand model requirements, traffic expectations, latency constraints, GPU economics, and system dependencies
- Translate customer ambition into production-feasible architecture.
- Identify hidden technical risks early
Commercial Acceleration
- Partner tightly with Sales on strategic deals
- Influence deal strategy through architectural clarity
- Prevent misaligned commitments before engineering allocation
- Increase PoC-to-production conversion by ensuring technical realism
PoC Architecture & Validation
- Define measurable success criteria (latency, TTFT, throughput, cost envelope)
- Classify workload complexity and required optimization depth
- Align appropriate resources (ML Solution Architects, engineering, GPU capacity, etc.)
- Drive structured Go / No-Go decisions
- Prevent uncontrolled customization or hidden R&D
Pattern Recognition & Platform Leverage
- Identify recurring configuration patterns across custom
