Description
Here’s a summary of the role:        We are looking for a rare hybrid talent — someone who can  hack together end-to-end prototypes  at speed while also standing confidently in front of a customer’s executive team. This role sits at the intersection of  engineering, product, and business development . You will be one of the first technical faces customers meet, building semi-deployable prototypes, testing product-market fit in the wild, and representing us in high-stakes conversations with senior stakeholders.    If you’re an entrepreneurial engineer who thrives in ambiguity, loves building quickly, and wants to see the immediate impact of your work with customers, this role is for you.      Here’s  a breakdown of what  you’ll  do (not all of it, just the important stuff):   Rapidly design, build, and deliver  end-to-end prototypes, demos, and proofs-of-concept  that help prospects and partners experience the art of the possible.    Partner with sales and business development teams to  identify customer needs, run discovery sessions, and tailor prototypes  to demonstrate value.    Represent the company independently in  executive-level meetings  (SVP/C-level), confidently articulating both technical and business value.    Act as a  forward-deployed engineer  — embedded in customer/partner environments, surfacing insights, validating opportunities, and feeding learnings back into the product roadmap.    Collaborate cross-functionally with  product, engineering, and marketing  to shape product direction and positioning based on real-world engagements.    Provide technical guidance during early partnership discussions, including  APIs, integrations, cloud deployments, and lightweight AI/LLM-driven applications .    Help establish repeatable frameworks, toolkits, and playbooks for scaling pre-sales prototyping efforts.      These are the essentials  you’ll  need to get an interview:   3-5+ years of relevant, post-college work experience.    Strong  technical hacking and prototyping ability  — shown proficiency in programming languages such as Python, Java, C++, TypeScript/JavaScript, or similar. Can independently build functional, semi-deployable solutions across modern stacks (Python/Node, APIs, data pipelines, cloud environments, front-end frameworks, etc.).    Comfort working with  AI/LLM-based tools, APIs, and modern developer ecosystems .    Excellent  customer-facing skills : discovery, prospecting, business development, and partnership alignment.    Exceptional  executive presence : confident, articulate, and able to hold your own with senior executives.    Proven ability to  operate independently in ambiguous, fast-changing environments .    Strong communication skills: able to translate technical complexity into business value.    Ability and interest to travel up to 25%, as needed to client sites, but flexible based on personal preferences.      It would be great if you had these to, but we’ll support you if you don’t:   Experience in  technical pre-sales, forward-deployment, or field engineering roles .    Background in  B2B SaaS, enterprise software, or early-stage startups .    Comfort balancing  short-term prototyping  with longer-term scalability conside
