About The Position

Requirements

One to three years in a technical role adjacent to customers: pre-sales or solutions engineering, implementation, support engineering, data analysis, or a technical internship where you shipped something real
You are comfortable in data. SQL you can write, Python you can read and modify, spreadsheets that don't intimidate you
You can explain a technical thing to a non-technical person without condescending and without hiding behind jargon
You finish. Demo prep is 80% unglamorous, and that 80% is the job
You are curious about how AI systems actually work. You've used LLMs seriously, you know what RAG is, and you want to understand why an eval matters more than a benchmark
You write clearly under time pressure, because the questionnaire is due tomorrow
There's no set playbook, the demo library is spotty, and everyone's wearing 1000 hats. You want that, rather than tolerating it

Nice To Haves

Real estate, financial services, or professional services exposure, including internships
You've built demo environments, internal tooling, or automation for a sales or delivery team
Python and SQL strong enough to build proof-of-value scripts unsupervised
Experience at an AI-native or data platform company

Responsibilities

Build prospect-specific demo environments: load their documents, configure the workspace, and test the whole thing end to end before anyone senior sees it
Own the demo library and the runbooks behind it, so any demo can be rebuilt in an hour rather than a day
Draft security questionnaires and RFP/RFI responses from the answer library, and escalate only what is genuinely new
Run the product in live demos while the lead runs the room, then take your own discovery calls and demos as you earn them
Build proof-of-value scripts and accuracy comparisons on prospect documents, including side-by-side runs against whatever tool they're using today
Keep battle cards, competitive notes, and the answer library current, because they go stale in weeks
Hand off won deals to the implementation team with clean, scoped, honest requirements
Log what prospects actually ask for and carry it back to Product and Engineering
Travel occasionally, up to 10%, to prospect sites across the US
