  • Partner with Software Engineers and Operations to remove any technical hurdles customers may face / Debug technical issues impacting delivery and own technical escalations coming from the customer
  • Be accountable for the customer’s technical experience throughout their time with Scale
  • Work with AEs and PMs to identify customer-specific feature requests
  • Develop technical domain expertise in areas of Large Language Models, 2D Image Annotation, and working with API integrations
  • Evangelize Scale and interact with customers at major events
  • Have an active TS/SCI clearance

  • Track record of success as a hybrid customer-facing engineer or similar function, wearing multiple hats along the way
  • Prior technical hands-on experience working with clients in a pre or post-sales capacity to realize business goals
  • Prior experience developing with Python and JavaScript, or other modern software languages
  • Strong engineering background preferably in Computer Science, Mathematics, or other quantitative fields
  • Strong project management and interpersonal skills
  • Presentation skills with a high degree of technical credibility when speaking with executives and front-line engineers
  • High level of comfort communicating effectively across internal and external organizations
  • Intellectual curiosity, empathy, and ability to operate with high velocity

  • Experience in AI
  • Experience working in classified environments
  • Previous experience as a technical go-to-market resource
