As a Solutions Engineer at Speechmatics, you’ll play a key role in helping customers successfully evaluate and adopt our industry-leading speech technology. You’ll partner closely with Sales to guide customers through the entire technical journey, from discovery and solution design to proof‑of‑concept delivery and technical validation. This is a hands‑on role: you’ll build demos, write code, deploy environments, and solve real customer problems. You’ll also take ownership of selected accounts, helping scale the team’s impact while gaining exposure to global customers across multiple industries. We’ll support you with structured onboarding and training so you can quickly become confident with our technology and customers.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Partnering with Sales to lead the technical pre‑sales process from discovery to close
• Understanding customer requirements (security, scale, integrations, accuracy, workflows) and designing practical solutions
• Building and delivering technical demos, prototypes, and Proofs of Concept (PoCs)
• Deploying and configuring environments in cloud or on‑prem setups for customer evaluations
• Troubleshooting customer challenges and guiding them toward successful outcomes
• Delivering engaging technical presentations to customers, partners, and events
• Supporting conferences and showcases with compelling technical demonstrations
• Sharing knowledge internally and helping Sales stay up to date as our platform evolves

Who We’re Looking For

• Previous experience working in a customer‑facing technical role (Sales Engineering, Solutions Engineering, Pre‑Sales, Technical Consulting, or similar)
• Hands‑on programming ability in Python
• Comfortable working with APIs, integrations, and technical troubleshooting
• Experience deploying or configuring software in cloud, Linux, containers, or networked environments
• Strong problem‑solving skills and ability to translate customer needs into workable solutions
• Confident communicator who enjoys working directly with customers
• Self‑motivated, curious, and eager to learn new technologies quickly
• Collaborative mindset and ability to manage multiple opportunities simultaneously

We encourage you to apply even if you do not feel you match all of the requirements exactly. The list of requirements is intended to show the kinds of experience and qualities we’re looking for, but it is not exhaustive. If you are interested in the role, the team, and our mission, we would love to consider your application. We are always open to conversations and look forward to hearing from you.
