The Team

Our engineering team builds systems that interact with some of the most complex software ever deployed in production. The team is composed of industry veterans that have built deep learning infrastructure, autonomous drones, ridesharing marketplaces, ad tech and much more. We are looking for an AI Sales Engineer (Solutions Architect) to join the good fight and get this product in the hands of every AI/ML organization.

You'll work side-by-side with our Account Executives to articulate the Arize value and overall strategy to differentiate the platform throughout the sales process and drive POCs from requirements gathering to close.

• Partner with our account executives to articulate the overall Arize value proposition, vision, and strategy to customers
• Work closely with some of the most sophisticated GenAI teams in the world.

• Lead product demonstrations of the Arize platform
• Advise on GenAI and ML best practices
• Lead discovery to understand prospect’s GenAI tech stack to collaborate with the Sales team to construct a compelling value proposition of the Arize Platform
• Lead Proof of Concept (PoC) motions with prospective buyers
• Handle technical objections and develop strategies across sales, engineering, and product to unblock them
