📋 Description

• Own the technical strategy, architecture, and long-term evolution of the go-to-market technology stack. • Design, build, and operate production-grade AI agents and automated workflows that reduce manual sales work, improve decision-making, and give time back to sales teams. • Lead technical execution across initiatives by setting direction, breaking down complex problems, reviewing designs, and helping engineers deliver high-quality solutions. • Remain hands-on throughout the software lifecycle, from prototyping and architecture through implementation, testing, deployment, and production operations. • Partner with Sales and Sales Strategy & Operations to understand workflows, identify high-value opportunities, and translate business problems into scalable technical solutions. • Establish patterns, evaluation methods, and guardrails for reliable, observable, secure, and safe AI systems using sensitive business data. • Define success measures and use data, evaluations, and user feedback to improve accuracy, adoption, and business impact. • Make build-versus-buy decisions and guide integrations across internal platforms, customer relationship management systems, data services, and third-party tools. • Build alignment with senior technical and business partners, communicate complex tradeoffs, and raise engineering standards through mentorship and design reviews.

🎯 Requirements

• A minimum of 12 years of related experience with a Bachelor’s degree; or 8 years and a Master’s degree; or a PhD with 5 years experience; or equivalent experience. • Experience setting technical direction and delivering complex, business-critical systems across multiple teams or functional areas. • Experience designing, building, and operating production software that uses large language models, AI agents, tool calling, retrieval, workflow orchestration, or related technologies. • A track record of moving AI capabilities from prototype to production, including evaluation, observability, security, reliability, and human oversight. • An AI-native approach to engineering, using AI tools throughout development while applying sound judgment about when to use models, deterministic software, or human review. • Strong software engineering and system-design skills, with the ability to work hands-on across application, service, integration, and data layers. • Experience leading technical execution through influence, mentorship, architecture, and direct contribution, without relying on formal reporting authority. • The judgment to navigate ambiguous problems, evaluate technical and business tradeoffs, and influence senior engineering and business partners. • Familiarity with sales processes or go-to-market systems—such as lead management, opportunity management, forecasting, account planning, or customer relationship management platforms—is helpful but not required.
