Role summary
We are seeking a hands-on Value Engineer to join an early-stage AI platform startup. This role will own the technical side of the sales cycle, from discovery through Proof of Value and close, working closely with founders, Product, and R&D. You will lead technical discovery, translate business problems into AI-driven solutions, build tailored demos, run POCs, and support RFP/RFI responses. The ideal candidate has 5+ years in Sales Engineering, Presales, or Value Engineering, with experience in enterprise customers and complex sales cycles, and a solid understanding of AI concepts. Experience with process mining, workflow mapping, or operational analytics is a plus.
We're building an agentic AI platform that helps enterprises transform complex business workflows into AI-powered operations. We work with leading global companies to identify high-value workflows, deploy AI agents into real business environments, and help organizations move from experimentation to measurable enterprise impact.
We believe AI adoption inside the enterprise isn't just a technology challenge. It requires business context, workflow understanding, change management, trust, ownership, and a clear path to value. That's where this role comes in.
We are a well-funded, early-stage startup, building our Value Engineering function from the ground up. This role is for a hands-on, technically sharp partner who moves fast, loves building from scratch, and works closely with founders, Product, and R&D to win complex enterprise deals.
You'll own the technical side of the sales cycle, from discovery through Proof of Value and close, while helping shape how our presales function scales.
