* Scope and deliver proofs of value, including technical validation and plans for production adoption.
* Run product demonstrations, respond to technical objections, and guide architecture discussions with senior stakeholders.
* Develop repeatable pre-sales materials, discovery frameworks, and reference architectures.
* Translate customer requirements and edge cases into actionable feedback for product and engineering teams.
* Partner with machine learning and infrastructure teams to deliver deployments that meet customer expectations.
* Travel regularly to customer sites across the UK and Europe.
What We're Looking For
* At least 5 years of professional experience, including 2 to 3 years building or delivering technical data systems.
* Experience in forward-deployed engineering, solutions architecture, deployment strategy, or customer-facing data and AI delivery.
* A track record of personally taking enterprise proofs of value through to production commitments, including navigating procurement and security reviews.
* Strong knowledge of modern data stacks, including warehouses, ETL/ELT pipelines, and data governance.
* Production experience with LLM or agentic systems, plus sound judgment about their capabilities and limitations.
* Experience leading technical discovery and demos with enterprise stakeholders and translating customer constraints into product feedback.
