- one built deliberately to sit between presales and product, not to live entirely inside either one.
- sometimes in the same week. Sit at the center of presales and product: partner with Account Executives to win technical validation on live deals, and with the Loops product and engineering teams to turn recurring patterns into native platform capability. Shape what IFS Loops becomes: what you learn in the field
- what works, what doesn't, what customers actually ask for
- feeds directly into the Agentic platform roadmap.
- genuinely: you're as energized by a whiteboard session with a VP of Operations as by tuning a multi-agent workflow.
AI:
multi-agent design, tool use, human-in-the-loop patterns, and platforms like Agent Studio or comparable orchestration tools. You understand asset-intensive industries: Enterprise Asset Management, Field Service Management, Manufacturing, or Aerospace & Defense, well enough to run a credible conversation without a subject matter expert in the room. You communicate with equal credibility to a developer deep in an API and a CEO thinking about risk and ROI.Experience:
a track record in presales, solutions engineering, or forward-deployed roles, with genuine product instincts. Former founders and builders who've shipped 0-to-1 are strongly encouraged to apply. Nice to Have Experience in a forward-deployed, applied AI, or founding engineering role at a fast-growing enterprise AI company Experience translating field learnings into product requirements or roadmap input Deep familiarity with LLMs, retrieval systems, and agent evaluation frameworks Experience selling or deploying software into asset-intensive or regulated industries (aerospace & defense, energy, manufacturing) Willingness to travel to customer sites (approximately 25-50%)Additional InformationWhat We're OfferingSalary Range:
