Pre-Sales Deployed Engineer

About the Role Join a fast-growing AI developer tools company as a Pre-Sales Deployed Engineer based in London. You'll be the technical heartbeat of the sales process — partnering closely with an Account Executive to win enterprise deals by running hands-on technical pilots with customers' engineering teams. This is emphatically not a pure sales role or a pure engineering role: you need to be genuinely capable of both writing production-quality code and closing deals. The company has proven product-market fit with enterprise customers and is now in scaling mode — making this an exciting moment to join and shape how the go-to-market motion evolves across Europe.

• Partner with an Account Executive as the dedicated technical expert throughout the pre-sales cycle, from discovery through to deal close.
• Design and run 4-week technical pilots with prospective customers' developer teams, including kickoff calls, office hours, and live pair-programming sessions.
• Present the product's vision, benefits, and differentiators to audiences ranging from individual developers to C-suite executives.
• Deliver technical training, live demos, and enablement resources (documentation, guides, blogs, videos) that help developers understand and maximise the product's value.
• Create and maintain technical collateral tailored to enterprise customers.
• Relay critical customer feedback to Product and Engineering teams, directly influencing the roadmap.
• Travel to customer sites or industry events as needed to support engagements.
• What We're Looking For
• Required
• 1+ years of solutions or pre-sales engineering experience for a technical product (developer tools strongly preferred).
• Strong computer science fundamentals — CS degree or equivalent practical experience.
• Strong programming skills in at least one OOP language; comfortable pair-programming with customers to solve real problems in real time.
• Proven ability to deliver technical training, live demos, and customer-facing enablement content.
• Familiarity with AI-powered developer tools (e.g. AI code completion, LLM-based coding assistants) and genuine excitement for emerging AI/LLM technology.
• Fluency in both German and English.
• Executive presence — able to lead product kickoffs and earn the trust of senior engineering and business stakeholders alike.
• Evidence of, or clear motivation for, moving into a sales-oriented role.
• Commitment to long-term employment; preference for early-stage startup experience over large tech company environments.
• Nice to Have
• Background or degree from a top CS programme.
• Experience working in fast-paced, high-growth startup environments.
• Willingness and ability to travel across Europe for customer engagements.
• Location & Work Arrangement
• Primary location: London, UK — 100% on-site, 5 days per week.
• German-based candidates may also be considered; compensation and workplace details may vary accordingly.
• Visa sponsorship is available.
• Compensation
• Salary range: $108,000 – $140,000 USD annually (London-based; EUR equivalent for Germany-based candidates).
