About the role

As a Sales Engineer, you will operate as a lighter-weight forward deployed engineer embedded in our go-to-market motion — part builder, part consultant. You will sit at the intersection of sales, product, and AI: writing code to prototype agentic demos, configuring use-case-specific agent flows, and then walking into the room to present them to clinical, commercial, and technical stakeholders.

What they're looking for

  • Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related technical field
  • 3–5 years of experience spanning software engineering, forward deployed engineering, solutions/sales engineering, or technical consulting
  • Ability to code — comfortable in Python or JavaScript, working with APIs, and prototyping with LLM-based or agentic systems
  • Consulting-grade client presence: structured thinking, executive-level presentations, and the ability to run a room
  • Strong storytelling and communication skills, able to make complex technology simple for both technical and non-technical audiences
  • Self-starter who thrives in fast-moving, ambiguous, high-growth environments
More about this role

As a Sales Engineer, you will operate as a lighter-weight forward deployed engineer embedded in our go-to-market motion — part builder, part consultant. You will sit at the intersection of sales, product, and AI: writing code to prototype agentic demos, configuring use-case-specific agent flows, and then walking into the room to present them to clinical, commercial, and technical stakeholders.

This is a role for an engineer who wants to be client-facing — someone who can build with their hands and communicate with executive polish. You will partner with sales leadership on strategic pursuits across pharma and health systems, turning complex AI capabilities into demos and narratives that make prospects say "I need this."

This role is based full-time in our Menlo Park, CA office.

Build and deliver tailored, high-impact demos of our agentic AI platform — hands-on prototyping of agent flows, scripts, and demo environments mapped to each prospect’s clinical and commercial workflows.

Write code where it moves deals forward: demo scaffolding, light integrations, data mocking, and rapid proofs of concept with LLM and agentic tooling.
