This is a highly cross-functional role where you will combine your technical credibility with your sales acumen to demonstrate value, build trust, and accelerate deals.

You will be the technical voice of the customer, translating their needs into solutions and providing invaluable feedback to our product and engineering teams. You will get to show prospects how cutting-edge AI can transform their compliance operations, presenting to both CTOs and Chief Compliance Officers.

• Confidently handle technical objections, including questions about integration, compliance, and performance.
• Collaborate with our Product and Engineering teams to provide feedback from the field and influence our product roadmap.
• Contribute to our sales enablement materials, demo environments, and best practices to help scale the impact of our solutions engineering team.

Must-Haves:

• A strong technical background in software engineering, solution architecture, or technical consulting.
• Excellent communication and presentation skills, with the ability to translate complex AI concepts into tangible business value.
• Comfortable building quick prototypes and debugging code in real-time.
• A consultative, customer-first mindset with a passion for creative problem-solving.

Bonus Points:

• Experience in fintech, compliance, or with AI products.
• A background in a customer-facing technical role.

Why You’ll Love Working Here

• Bridge the Gap: You love being the technical expert in the room and enjoy the customer-facing side of technology.
• High-Impact Role: You will blend deep technical knowledge with business strategy to help close deals and drive revenue.
• Shape the Product: You will be the voice of the customer, providing critical feedback that influences our product roadmap.
• Solve a Critical Problem: You will be at the forefront of helping financial institutions use AI to fight financial crime.
