You close that gap.You embed with our customers, from fast-growing startups to enterprises like Porsche and Bosch, to understand how their revenue teams really operate. You configure and extend Demodesk on top of their stack: custom AI agents via our Agent Builder, CRM automations across Salesforce, HubSpot, and Pipedrive, integrations through our API, Make, and custom scripts. Sometimes you build something that goes straight into our product roadmap. Sometimes you build a one-off that saves a deal.You are part researcher, part builder, part translator between how sales teams work today and what our platform should become next. You sit upstream of the product: what you learn in the field directly shapes what engineering builds.GoalsLead technical discovery, pilots, and proof-of-concepts as the primary technical voice in front of prospects and customersDesign and build custom AI agents, skills, and automations on the Demodesk platform for specific customer workflowsBuild integrations with customer systems: CRMs, dialers, telephony providers, internal tools, via our public API, webhooks, and automation platformsOwn technical onboarding for strategic accounts, from architecture through go-liveHandle security and compliance conversations: GDPR, works councils, data residency (our EU-native setup is a strength; you make it tangible)Feed field learnings back to product and engineering, and prototype features that become part of the core platformYour profileWhat you bring3+ years in software engineering, solutions engineering, or a forward-deployed role at a B2B software companyFull-stack depth: you can configure, debug, and explain web applications, REST APIs, webhooks, and integration patterns, and script in Python or TypeScriptHands-on experience with LLMs: prompting, agent frameworks, or building AI-powered workflowsConfidence leading technical conversations with both engineers and non-technical sales leadersComfort with ambiguity: you scope, plan, and push work over the finish line without a specFluent German and English (many of our customers are in the DACH region)Nice to haveExperience with CRM ecosystems (Salesforce, HubSpot, Pipedrive) and their APIsExperience at an early-stage or high-growth startupPrior customer-facing engineering work: sales engineering, professional services, or technical consultingWhy usWell-funded and backed by Silicon Valley’s top investors & angels, including Y CombinatorFull responsibility from day one and being part of our hierarchy-free and results-driven working environmentCompetitive compensation with uncapped variableAttractive stock compensation packageModern and central office in Munich, with free snacks and barista serviceFlexible working hoursAttractive perks including gym memberships, healthcare coverage, top of the line MacBook or Linux machine, and a professional development budgetCommuter benefits and regular team face time in MunichAbout usDemodesk is the AI that does the job, not the AI that tells you what to do.
