Presales Engineer

Presales Engineer

Squirro is redefining how organizations unlock the power of their unstructured data through Generative and Agentic AI-driven insights. Our mission is to reshape the future of work with intelligent, context-aware automation — empowering enterprises to make faster, smarter, and more human decisions.

We're now looking for a Presales Engineer, for our US business, to help drive adoption of the Squirro Enterprise GenAI Platform across Americas.

About the Role

As a Presales Engineer at Squirro, you'll bridge the gap between cutting-edge AI technology and real-world business impact. Working closely with our sales, product, and delivery teams, you'll consult with enterprise customers to design, demonstrate, and deliver Generative and Agentic AI solutions that enable digital transformation — especially within the banking, insurance, and financial services sectors.

This role blends technical expertise, consultative sales skills, and strategic thinking. You'll help clients understand how Squirro's platform and intelligent agents can streamline workflows, augment decision-making, and create measurable value.

Key Responsibilities Include:

• Solution Design & Strategy: Work directly with customers throughout the full cycle of solution design, implementation, and support. Translate business requirements into scalable technical architectures, and scope innovative Generative AI and Agentic solutions that deliver real transformation.
• Demonstration & Proof of Value: Plan and deliver tailored product demonstrations and Proof of Value (POV) engagements showcasing how intelligent agents and Generative AI can solve complex enterprise challenges.
• Sales Collaboration: Partner closely with the sales team to identify opportunities, shape proposals, and align customer needs with Squirro's product capabilities. Act as a trusted technical advisor throughout the sales cycle.
• Technical Advisory & Customization: Provide hands-on technical guidance and extend the platform with Python-based components (e.g., orchestrators, RAG pipelines, prompt-engineering frameworks). Design and adapt Frontend BI dashboards and Agentic UIs to visualize AI-driven insights.
• Customer Feedback & Knowledge Sharing: Represent the customer voice internally, communicating field insights to Product and Engineering teams. Contribute to AI solution blueprints, architecture diagrams, and consultative documentation for project scoping and internal knowledge sharing.
• AI Expertise & Continuous Learning: Stay current with the fast-moving landscape of Generative AI models, agent frameworks, and orchestration technologies, proactively advising customers on adoption strategies, risks, and opportunities.

What Gets Us Excited About You

• Client Interaction Experience: 5+ years in presales, solution consulting, or technical sales, with the ability to translate complex solutions for both technical and business audiences.
• Technical Expertise: Strong background in software development or consulting, ideally with Python, APIs, and cloud architectures. Experience with Linux, scripting, and system integration.
• AI Knowledge: Exposure to Generative AI, LLMs, or intelligent agent frameworks — plus a solid understanding of data, NLP, and unstructured information systems.
• Bonus Points: Experience in financial services or insurance, familiarity with Elasticsearch or vector databases, and a passion for helping enterprises scale AI responsibly.

What You'll Love About Being Here:

• Working at the cutting edge of AI, driving innovation in search and NLP
• A dynamic and agile work environment with opportunities to make a difference
• Hybrid-first work, with beautiful offices in New York, Zurich, and Singapore
• Generous PTO, sick leave, and paid holidays
• Employee share program - taking part in our success
• Annual international gatherings in cool locations
• Access to Squirro Academy for the latest in Search & GenAI
