Responsibilities

• Technical Sales Strategy Partner with Account Executives to define and execute the technical sales strategy for each prospect, qualifying opportunities on technical fit, regulatory considerations, and competitive landscape.
• Discovery & Solution Design Lead discovery workshops with prospects to understand their current integration estate, API maturity, cloud posture, and AI use cases. Develop blueprints and solution architectures that address business needs and technical constraints including the specific compliance requirements of regulated customers.
• Demonstrations & Proofs of Concept Build and deliver tailored solution demonstrations. Plan, coordinate, and execute Proofs of Concept (PoCs) and Proofs of Value (PoVs) with clearly agreed use cases, success criteria, and exit conditions.

• RFPs, Tenders & Industry Engagement Contribute technical and product content for RFP and RFI responses with our bid pursuit team. Represent the company at industry events, conferences, and customer roundtables, and contribute to marketing campaigns with technical content and thought leadership.

• Demonstrated experience with LiteLLM, Portkey, Azure AI, Bitfrost or other AI gateway technologies.
• Working knowledge of AI in the context of enterprise integration and APIs — for example, exposing models and agents as governed APIs, securing LLM endpoints, integrating with foundation model providers (AWS Bedrock, Azure OpenAI, Google Vertex AI, Anthropic), retrieval‑augmented generation patterns, and the emerging discipline of AI gateways
• Strong understanding of integration disciplines: iPaaS, hybrid integration platforms, EAI, ESB, SOA, event-driven architecture, and modern API-led connectivity
• Solid understanding of public cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, Google Cloud), including identity, networking, and managed services relevant to integration workloads
• Strong grasp of architectural principles for cloud and hybrid systems: SaaS, PaaS, multitenancy, security, elastic scaling, and resilience
• Hands‑on familiarity with Kubernetes, container security, observability (monitoring, logging, alerting), messaging patterns, and microservices
• Familiarity with DevOps practices and tooling for digital business

Highly Desired

• Cloud architect-level certification (AWS Solutions Architect Professional, Azure Solutions Architect Expert, Google Professional Cloud Architect, or equivalent)
• Experience with AI-specific tooling and patterns: AI gateways, prompt management, model observability, vector databases, and frameworks such as LangChain or LlamaIndex
