About the Company
We're partnering with a company that enables enterprises to build, test, deploy, and monitor AI agents for their most complex needs, serving customers and employees seamlessly across voice, chat, email, and back-office systems in any language or cultural context.
Role Overview
• Lead the technical side of sales: join early-stage conversations, present demos, and guide architecture and security discussions
• Act as hands-on engineering lead – shipping code, building integrations, and setting high quality standards
• Build and lead a high-performing technical team across engineering, integration, and pre-sales
• Drive customer integrations, from scoping to deployment of AI agents, and ensure production accuracy
• Gather customer feedback, localize the product, and represent regional needs to the global Product team
• Serve as the local technical point of contact, building partnerships and handling escalations
Requirements
• 7–8+ years of hands-on software engineering experience – you've built things that actually shipped
• Proven track record in pre-sales, solution architecture, or complex technical implementations
• Customer-facing background in roles like Field CTO, Solutions Architect, or Deployed Engineer – you know how to speak both tech and business
• Strong leadership DNA – ideally with experience at Director, VP, or Founder level
• Excellent English (written and spoken) plus fluency in at least one local language
• Comfortable operating independently in a zero-to-one environment – building the plan, the team, and the system from scratch
• Bonus: experience thriving in a fast-moving startup where speed and ownership matter more than titles
