. This is a high-ownership role at a

$50M Series A company backed by Sequoia, Emergence, Stripe, and Conviction

, where you will work directly with founders and engineers to build and scale the customer-facing technical function.

You will own the full technical customer lifecycle—from pre-sales demos to post-sale adoption—while working with some of the world’s leading asset managers on real investor data.

What You’ll Do

  • Build and deliver

custom demos using real customer data

(PDFs, Excel models, databases)

  • Own

technical pre-sales cycles

  • Translate customer insights into

product and engineering feedback loops

Key Requirements

  • 3–8 years in a technical, customer-facing role (SE, SA, TAM, implementation engineer, or similar)
  • Experience at a startup or AI-native company (e.g., Databricks, Retool, dbt, n8n, C3 AI)
  • Strong hands-on ability with

SQL, Python, APIs, and data workflows

  • Familiarity with AI/ML concepts (RAG, embeddings, LLMs, vector databases, agents)
  • Experience working with messy data (PDFs, Excel, unstructured sources)
  • Strong communication skills with a revenue-oriented mindset

What We’re Looking For

  • Builders with startup experience and high ownership mindset
  • Engineers who enjoy working directly with customers and business impact
  • Candidates comfortable in ambiguous, fast-moving environments
  • Individuals excited to build a

technical GTM function from scratch

Nice to Have

  • Experience in financial services (asset management, private equity, private credit)
  • Exposure to enterprise AI or data platforms
  • SWE background with transition into customer-facing roles

Compensation \& Benefits

  • Base Salary: $150K–$275K
  • Competitive equity package
  • Visa sponsorship available
