Job description

Sales · USA - Remote · FullTime · Senior level

A Staff Sales Engineer in voice AI typically pairs deep technical knowledge of speech APIs and voice agents with the ability to run technical discovery, demos and solution design alongside account executives. A strong candidate can explain how transcription and voice agent APIs fit into a customer's product, handle integration questions, and stay credible with both developers and business buyers. Carrying a quota means comfort owning technical parts of a deal and helping close new logos.

How it fits the AI era

Voice AI is moving fast, and much of the work is helping customers see where speech models fit and what they can realistically do. AI speeds up demos and prototyping, but trust still comes from clear explanations, honest limits and hands on problem solving with the customer. The human part is judgment about fit and risk.

How it builds AI experience

This role builds hands on experience with speech to text and voice agent APIs, model evaluation and integration patterns. A candidate can prepare by building small voice agent demos, testing transcription quality on real audio, and learning how APIs are wired into products. That proof of practical work matters more than theory.

Worth showing

• Technical discovery
• Quota carrying
