About the role

About the Role A fast-growing, seed-stage AI developer tools company is hiring a Pre-Sales Deployed Engineer based in London (German-speaking candidates also considered). This is a rare hybrid role for engineers who can genuinely both code and sell — you'll serve as the technical expert partnering with Account Executives to close enterprise deals, running hands-on technical pilots with development teams at prospective customers. You'll work 100% on-site five days a week in London. Visa sponsorship is available. What You'll Do • Partner with sales to qualify opportunities and act as the primary technical advisor throughout the pre-sales cycle — from discovery through to a successful close. • Run structured multi-week technical pilots with enterprise dev teams: lead kickoff calls, host regular office hours, and pair-program directly with customer engineers to demonstrate real-world value. • Present the product's vision, benefits, and differentiators to audiences ranging from individual developers to C-suite executives. • Deliver technical training sessions, live demos, and create customer-facing documentation, guides, and enablement resources. • Build and maintain technical collateral (demos, blogs, videos, guides) tailored to enterprise use cases. • Gather and synthesize customer feedback, feeding actionable insights back to Product and Engineering to influence the roadmap. • Travel to customer sites and industry events as needed to support engagements. What We're Looking For Must-haves: • 1+ years of solutions or pre-sales engineering experience for a technical product; developer tooling experience strongly preferred. • Strong CS fundamentals — CS degree from a top programme or equivalent demonstrated experience. • Solid programming skills in at least one object-oriented language; comfortable pair-programming live with customer engineers. • Fluency in both German and English . • Hands-on experience with AI-powered developer tools (code completion, AI chat assistants, or similar LLM-based tools). • Proven ability to deliver technical training, live demos, and create customer-facing documentation and enablement content. • Willingness to travel to customer sites and events as required. • A genuine interest in and aptitude for sales — high EQ, a closing mindset, and executive presence. Nice-to-haves: • Experience engaging and presenting to C-suite and executive stakeholders. • Track record of successful enterprise software deployments or driving customer adoption initiatives. • Experience gathering customer feedback to inform product roadmap decisions. This role is not for: • Pure software engineers with no interest in sales or customer-facing work. • Sales professionals who rely on others for technical depth. • Solutions engineers who have historically outsourced technical work to separate support teams. Compensation & Benefits • Salary: $108,000 – $140,000 USD annually (London-based; EUR-equivalent compensation may apply for Germany-based candidates). • Visa sponsorship available. Location • Primary: London, England, UK — 100% on-site, five days per week. • Germany-based candidates may also be considered; workplace details and currency may vary. Originally posted on Himalayas
