Sales Engineer, AI Infrastructure (SF)
About The Position
This role is with one of our clients; we’ll share full details about the company and interview process as we get to know you and confirm mutual fit. Our client builds the data layer that AI agents run on. One API call turns any URL into clean, structured, LLM-ready data. It's already the default way a huge number of developers pull web data into their AI systems, with over 1.5 million users building on the platform. The company is small, moving fast, and hiring people who want to build the next chapter with them. They believe developers and AI agents shouldn't have to fight the web to get data out of it. Every hour spent maintaining a scraper or babysitting a parser is an hour taken away from the actual product. Their job is to make that problem disappear.
Requirements
- 3-7 years in pre-sales engineering or solutions engineering at a dev tools, API, or data infra company, as an individual contributor
- Built and delivered POCs for enterprise prospects on your own
- Hands-on experience building with LLMs, RAG, agents, or AI data pipelines. You can read code, write, and use an API without help
- Can talk to an engineer about architecture and to a VP about ROI in the same afternoon
- Genuine energy for customer conversations, with real ownership over deal outcomes
- Authorized to work in the US already (no visa sponsorship on this one, so US citizens or Green Card holders)
Nice To Haves
- The people who do well here build things themselves. They get more energy from a good customer conversation than from a status meeting, and they're comfortable owning an outcome without a playbook to follow.
Responsibilities
- Run the full technical sales cycle: discovery, solution architecture, live demos, POCs
- Get in front of customers and show them, hands-on, how the product solves their problem
- Build POCs and technical proposals strong enough to turn "interesting" into "signed"
- Answer the hard technical questions that decide deals, and know when to pull in engineering
- Take what you hear from prospects straight back to product and engineering
- Split your time close to 50/50 between pre-sales and implementation
- Report to the VP of Revenue and Success, with real access to the founders
Benefits
- Base $143K–$199K, OTE $190K–$265K, 75/25 split.
- Meaningful equity in a fast-growing, well-funded startup.
- 100% employer-paid medical, dental, and vision (50% for spouse and kids)
- employer-paid life, short-term, and long-term disability insurance
- 401(k)
- pre-tax FSA
- commuter benefits
- pet insurance
- 15+ days PTO
- 12 weeks fully paid parental leave for moms and dads
- $100/month wellness stipend
- $1,000/year learning and development budget

- team offsites twice a year
- SF HQ perks and a loaner e-bike for commuting.
