About Valence

Valences AI Powered Leadership Coach allows enterprises to offer executive level coaching at scale. Backed by Bessemer and Insight.

About the role

This role will lead enterprise solutions for Nadia, our AI coach, by adapting and delivering tailored implementations for complex customer environments. You will design, implement, and evaluate high-impact workflows (prompts, memory and knowledge patterns, coaching flows), balance bespoke and reusable architectures, and build the tooling and evaluation discipline that let us scale enterprise AI deployments. This role sits at the heart of Valence.

What they're looking for

  • 3+ years in solutions engineering, forward-deployed engineering, or consulting engineering, ideally with enterprise-facing experience. Open to less years for exceptional builders who ship and learn fast
  • LLM/AI experience: prompt design, evaluation, and deployment of LLM-powered systems. Understanding of memory/knowledge retrieval and safety/guardrails
  • Systems & judgment: track record of deciding what should be bespoke vs. reusable, designing for modularity without over-engineering
  • Enterprise craft: stakeholder management, discovery, and communication. You know when to push back and when to ship
  • Collaborate deeply: Partner with Product, AI Engineering, and Coaching SMEs to deliver solutions with measurable impact
  • Quality mindset: you hold the line on accuracy, safety, and performance while maintaining pragmatism

Our focus is on the problems that actually decide whether AI changes how organizations operate — the ones with no playbook, no obvious answers, and no guarantee of success. If you want to be part of the small group that defines how AI transforms the future at a global scale, this is your chance.

And this isn’t for everyone. We’re not looking for people who want predictability or incremental progress. We only want those who are restless at the edge of what’s possible, who get bored when things feel “done,” and who are driven to redefine what AI can mean for leaders, companies, and the world. Because at Valence, the work worth doing is the kind that redefines work itself.
