What you'll do
Deployment Ownership: Own the technical outcome of customer deployments end to end, from architecture through production.
Embedded Pilots: Design, scope, and run proof-of-value pilots inside customer environments, with clear success criteria.
Pre-Signature Scoping: Act as the technical owner on complex deals (dedicated deployments, BYOC, compliance-sensitive architectures) and carry them through delivery.
Unblocking: Diagnose and resolve capacity, performance, integration, and: model selection issues, pulling in specialists where needed.
Model and Platform Fit: Guide customers to the right models, deployment tiers, and optimization paths (e.g. quantization, speculative decoding, fine-tuning handoff to AMLEs).
Product Signal: Feed structured, prioritized signal from the field back to product and engineering.
What they're looking for
- First principles and critical thinking: the ability to break down novel problems and reason to a solution without a reference implementation. This is the primary interview signal and can outweigh other qualifications.
- Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related technical field.
- + years of experience as a software engineer, with depth in backend systems and infrastructure.
- Strong coding skills in Python and at least one systems language; comfortable: shipping in unfamiliar codebases and customer environments.
