- Design, scope, and execute enterprise proof-of-concepts, defining datasets, metrics, timelines, and validation criteria.
- Build lightweight prototypes, sample integrations, demonstrations, and technical tools using APIs and SDKs.
- Advise customers on architectures optimized for accuracy, latency, scalability, cost, security, and reliability across cloud, self-hosted, and hybrid environments.
- Support GDPR, ISO 27001, SOC 2, data residency, vendor risk, and other security and compliance discussions common in EMEA enterprise sales.
- Troubleshoot and debug technical issues during evaluations, working with Product, Engineering, and Support teams to resolve customer blockers.
- Create reusable technical assets such as reference architectures, samples, runbooks, field guides, and accelerators.
- Partner with Solutions Architects and Support to ensure continuity from initial technical validation through production launches and expansion.
- Enable Account Executives, Customer Success teams, and partners through technical positioning, demonstrations, objection handling, and solution validation.
- Manage multiple strategic opportunities while maintaining clear documentation, defined escalation paths, and measurable outcomes.
Requirements:
- 5+ years of experience in Solutions Engineering or a similar customer-facing technical role focused on pre-sales.
- Professional software engineering experience in at least one language such as JavaScript/TypeScript, Python, or Rust, with the ability to build functional POCs and tools.
- Hands-on experience with modern cloud platforms, Docker, Kubernetes, networking fundamentals, and secure API design.
- Proven experience leading technical proof-of-concepts for enterprise customers and successfully achieving technical validation.
- Strong ability to communicate complex technical concepts clearly with both engineering teams and executive stakeholders.
- Comfortable combining customer conversations, architecture discussions, hands-on development, troubleshooting, and technical documentation.
- Strong understanding of enterprise security, authentication, authorization, privacy, and data residency requirements.
- Excellent written and spoken English and availability within an EMEA time zone with strong overlap with customer business hours.
- Experience with speech recognition, text-to-speech, voice quality analysis, or AI agents is a strong advantage.
- Familiarity with telephony and real-time media technologies such as SIP, WebRTC, streaming, and WebSocket integrations is beneficial.
- Experience with self-hosted or hybrid deployments, Helm-based installations, and production observability is a plus.
- Additional European language skills, particularly German, French, Dutch, Italian, or Spanish, are advantageous.
- A collaborative, adaptable, and solution-oriented mindset, with the ability to work effectively across regions and functions.
Benefits:
