About the Role
A fast-growing, seed-stage AI developer tools company is hiring a Pre-Sales Deployed Engineer based in London (German-speaking candidates also considered). This is a rare hybrid role for engineers who can genuinely both code and sell — you'll serve as the technical expert partnering with Account Executives to close enterprise deals, running hands-on technical pilots with development teams at prospective customers.
You'll work 100% on-site five days a week in London. Visa sponsorship is available.
What You'll Do
Partner with sales to qualify opportunities and act as the primary technical advisor throughout the pre-sales cycle — from discovery through to a successful close.
Run structured multi-week technical pilots with enterprise dev teams: lead kickoff calls, host regular office hours, and pair-program directly with customer engineers to demonstrate real-world value.
Present the product's vision, benefits, and differentiators to audiences ranging from individual developers to C-suite executives.
Deliver technical training sessions, live demos, and create customer-facing documentation, guides, and enablement resources.
Build and maintain technical collateral (demos, blogs, videos, guides) tailored to enterprise use cases.
Gather and synthesize customer feedback, feeding actionable insights back to Product and Engineering to influence the roadmap.
Travel to customer sites and industry events as needed to support engagements.
What We're Looking For
Must-haves:
1+ years of solutions or pre-sales engineering experience for a technical product; developer tooling experience strongly preferred.
Strong CS fundamentals — CS degree from a top programme or equivalent demonstrated experience.
Solid programming skills in at least one object-oriented language; comfortable pair-programming live with customer engineers.
Fluency in both German and English.
Hands-on experience with AI-powered developer tools (code completion, AI chat assistants, or similar LLM-based tools).
Proven ability to deliver technical training, live demos, and create customer-facing documentation and enablement content.
Willingness to travel to customer sites and events as required.
A genuine interest in and aptitude for sales — high EQ, a closing mindset, and executive presence.
Nice-to-haves:
Experience engaging and presenting to C-suite and executive stakeholders.
Track record of successful enterprise software deployments or driving customer adoption initiatives.
Experience gathering customer feedback to inform product roadmap decisions.
This role is not for:
Pure software engineers with no interest in sales or customer-facing work.
Sales professionals who rely on others for technical depth.
Solutions engineers who have historically outsourced technical work to separate support teams.
Compensation & Benefits
Salary: $108,000 – $140,000 USD annually (London-based; EUR-equivalent compensation may apply for Germany-based candidates).
Visa sponsorship available.
Location
Primary: London, England, UK — 100% on-site, five days per week.
Germany-based candidates may also be considered; workplace details and currency may vary.
