Job Description
### About the Role
Join a fast-growing **AI developer tools company** as a **Pre-Sales Deployed Engineer** based in London. You'll be the technical heartbeat of the sales process — partnering closely with an Account Executive to win enterprise deals by running hands-on technical pilots with customers' engineering teams. This is emphatically _not_ a pure sales role or a pure engineering role: you need to be genuinely capable of both writing production-quality code **and** closing deals.
The company has proven product-market fit with enterprise customers and is now in scaling mode — making this an exciting moment to join and shape how the go-to-market motion evolves across Europe.
### What You'll Do
* Partner with an Account Executive as the dedicated technical expert throughout the pre-sales cycle, from discovery through to deal close.
* Design and run **4-week technical pilots** with prospective customers' developer teams, including kickoff calls, office hours, and live pair-programming sessions.
* Present the product's vision, benefits, and differentiators to audiences ranging from individual developers to C-suite executives.
* Deliver technical training, live demos, and enablement resources (documentation, guides, blogs, videos) that help developers understand and maximise the product's value.
* Create and maintain technical collateral tailored to enterprise customers.
* Relay critical customer feedback to Product and Engineering teams, directly influencing the roadmap.
* Travel to customer sites or industry events as needed to support engagements.
### What We're Looking For
**Required**
* 1+ years of solutions or pre-sales engineering experience for a **technical product** (developer tools strongly preferred).
* Strong computer science fundamentals — CS degree or equivalent practical experience.
* Strong programming skills in at least one OOP language; comfortable pair-programming with customers to solve real problems in real time.
* Proven ability to deliver technical training, live demos, and customer-facing enablement content.
* Familiarity with AI-powered developer tools (e.g. AI code completion, LLM-based coding assistants) and genuine excitement for emerging AI/LLM technology.
* Fluency in both **German and English**.
* Executive presence — able to lead product kickoffs and earn the trust of senior engineering and business stakeholders alike.
* Evidence of, or clear motivation for, moving into a sales-oriented role.
* Commitment to long-term employment; preference for early-stage startup experience over large tech company environments.
**Nice to Have**
* Background or degree from a top CS programme.
* Experience working in fast-paced, high-growth startup environments.
* Willingness and ability to travel across Europe for customer engagements.
### Location & Work Arrangement
* **Primary location:** London, UK — 100% on-site, 5 days per week.
* German-based candidates may also be considered; compensation and workplace details may vary accordingly.
* Visa sponsorship is available.
### Compensation
* **Salary range:** $108,000 – $140,000 USD annually (London-based; EUR equivalent for Germany-based candidates).
