Requirements

  • 3-5+ years of relevant, post-college work experience
  • Strong technical hacking and prototyping ability — shown proficiency in programming languages such as Python, Java, C++, TypeScript/JavaScript, or similar. Can independently build functional, semi-deployable solutions across modern stacks (Python/Node, APIs, data pipelines, cloud environments, front-end frameworks, etc.)

  • Excellent customer-facing skills: discovery, prospecting, business development, and partnership alignment

  • Proven ability to operate independently in ambiguous, fast-changing environments
  • Strong communication skills: able to translate technical complexity into business value
  • Ability and interest to travel up to 25%, as needed to client sites, but flexible based on persona

Responsibilities

  • Rapidly design, build, and deliver end-to-end prototypes, demos, and proofs-of-concept that help prospects and partners experience the art of the possible

  • Represent the company independently in executive-level meetings (SVP/C-level), confidently articulating both technical and business value

  • Collaborate cross-functionally with product, engineering, and marketing to shape product direction and positioning based on real-world engagements
  • Provide technical guidance during early partnership discussions, including APIs, integrations, cloud deployments, and lightweight AI/LLM-driven applications
