Don’t just watch the AI revolution. Build the infrastructure that controls and secures it.

The Role

AI is reshaping how organizations build, ship, and scale digital products—and APIs are the connective tissue that makes it possible.

As a Solutions Engineer (North America), you’ll play a key role in the pre-sales journey, partnering with prospective enterprise customers across the region to understand their technical challenges, demonstrate the value of Gravitee’s platform, and show how our technology supports their strategic goals.

• Support and Expand Existing Accounts: Collaborate with Customer Success and Technical Account Managers to ensure existing customers maximize platform value and identify expansion opportunities.

• Foster Strategic Partnerships: Engage with regional SI/consulting partners and technology providers to explore technical integrations that extend Gravitee’s reach.

• Shape the Future of Gravitee: Work closely with Product and Marketing to influence the product roadmap based on direct field insights, contributing to tech talks, blogs, and community initiatives.

Your impact will be visible, measurable, and global.
