Job description

About the Opportunity

Imagine being the architect behind the \"wow moments\" that turn skeptical prospects into excited customers. As a Demo Engineer, you're not just writing code or giving presentations—you're crafting experiences that make complex technology feel intuitive, powerful, and essential.

You’ll be responsible for creating compelling, scalable technical demonstrations that showcase our platform’s capabilities while working directly with customers and sales teams to understand and address their specific needs and contributing and building core Demo Engineering applications and supporting resources.

What to expect?

• Build the impossible demos that make customers say \"I need this yesterday.\" Design interactive experiences, demo environments, and proof-of-concept solutions that don't just show features—they tell compelling stories. You’ll push the boundaries of what's possible with our platform while creating reusable demo resources that scale across our global sales team.
• Stay at the forefront of both technology trends and customer needs. One day you might be exploring the latest AI capabilities, the next you could be designing experiences for emerging market segments. This role rewards curiosity and provides the resources to constantly expand your technical and customer expertise.
• Bridge the gap between what's technically possible and what customers need. Collaborate with Solution Engineers to refine sales narratives, partner with Product teams to influence roadmaps based on real customer insights, and work with Engineering to understand the art of the possible. Your customer-facing experience will make you an invaluable voice in product strategy discussions.

What you need to be successful

• 3+ years in software development, systems engineering, or technical implementation roles, with hands‑on experience building web applications, APIs, or technical demonstrations. Proficiency in modern programming languages (JavaScript/TypeScript, or similar) and familiarity with cloud platforms and development frameworks.
• 2+ years working directly with customers, prospects, or internal stakeholders in a technical capacity - such as solution engineering, solution architecture, technical consulting, implementation support, or customer success engineering. Comfortable presenting and demonstrating technical concepts to both technical and business audiences.
• Demonstrated ability to understand customer problems and translate them into technical solutions or demonstrations. Experience gathering requirements from non‑technical stakeholders and creating technical experiences that address business needs.
• Experience working in cross‑functional teams, collaborating with product managers, sales teams, and engineering. Comfortable working in agile environments and adapting to changing priorities based on customer feedback.
• Strong technical writing skills and ability to create documentation, tutorials, or explanatory content.
• Willingness to work across time zones and travel internationally (up to 20%).

What’s in it for you?

• Join an ambitious tech company reshaping the way people build digital experiences.
• Full‑time employees receive Stock Options for the opportunity to share in the success of our company.
• Fertility and family building benefits, including a lifetime reimbursable wallet to support your growing family.
• We value Work‑Life balance and You Time! A generous amount of paid time off, including vacation days, sick days, education days, compassion days for loss, and volunteer days.
• Time off to care for and focus on your growing family.
• Use your personal annual education budget to improve your skills and grow in your career.
• Enjoy a full range of virtual and in‑person events, including workshops, guest speakers, and fun team activities, supporting learning and networking exchange beyond the usual work duties.
• An annual wellbeing stipend to care for your physical, financial, or emotional health.
• A monthly communication phone/internet stipend and phone hardware upgrade reimbursement.
• New hire office equipment stipend for hybrid or distributed employees. Get the gear you need to work at your best.
