Job description

AI & Data · San Francisco, New York, London · Senior level

This is a pre-sales technical lead role on large enterprise deals, paired with a sales executive. The work is running careful evaluations of voice AI with customer engineering and data science teams, building pilots, and guiding security reviews and architecture talks. A strong candidate has closed enterprise deals as the technical partner, codes well in Python or TypeScript, and can explain results to both a developer and a CTO.

How it fits the AI era

AI tools speed up the hands-on parts, like writing test scripts, building pilots and analyzing results, so one person can cover more accounts. The human side stays central: judging whether a benchmark is fair, earning trust across a customer's organization, handling security and compliance conversations, and helping a buyer choose a vendor with confidence.

How it builds AI experience

The role means working daily with speech recognition, real-time streaming and voice AI products, and seeing how large companies test and adopt them. Someone without that background can build it by making a small project with a speech-to-text API, comparing accuracy on their own audio samples, and learning how word error rate and test set design work.

Worth showing

• Enterprise technical sales wins
• Python or TypeScript projects
• Real-time streaming API experience
• Security and compliance reviews
