About the Role

Imagine being the architect behind the "wow moments" that turn skeptical prospects into excited customers. As a Demo Engineer, you're not just writing code or giving presentations—you're crafting experiences that make complex technology feel intuitive, powerful, and essential. You'll be responsible for creating compelling, scalable technical demonstrations that showcase our platform's capabilities while working directly with customers and sales teams to understand and address their specific needs and contributing and building core Demo Engineering applications and supporting resources.

Key Responsibilities

  • Build the impossible demos that make customers say "I need this yesterday."
  • Design interactive experiences, demo environments, and proof-of-concept solutions that tell compelling stories and showcase features.
  • Push the boundaries of what's possible with our platform while creating reusable demo resources that scale across the global sales team.
  • Stay at the forefront of technology trends and customer needs, exploring new capabilities and designing experiences for emerging market segments.
  • Collaborate with Solution Engineers to refine sales narratives.
  • Partner with Product teams to influence roadmaps based on customer insights.
  • Work with Engineering to understand the art of the possible.
  • Bridge the gap between technical possibilities and customer needs.

Requirements

  • 3+ years in software development, systems engineering, or technical implementation roles, with experience building web applications, APIs, or technical demonstrations.
  • Proficiency in modern programming languages (JavaScript/TypeScript, or similar) and familiarity with cloud platforms and development frameworks.
  • 2+ years working directly with customers, prospects, or internal stakeholders in a technical capacity such as solution engineering, solution architecture, technical consulting, implementation support, or customer success engineering.
  • Comfortable presenting and demonstrating technical concepts to both technical and business audiences.
  • Demonstrated ability to understand customer problems and translate them into technical solutions or demonstrations.
  • Experience gathering requirements from non-technical stakeholders and creating technical experiences that address business needs.
  • Experience working in cross-functional teams, collaborating with product managers, sales teams, and engineering.
  • Comfortable working in agile environments and adapting to changing priorities based on customer feedback.
  • Strong technical writing skills for creating documentation, tutorials, or explanatory content.
  • Willingness to work across time zones and travel internationally (up to 20%).

Nice to Have

  • Understanding of how technical products are evaluated and adopted by B2B customers.
  • UX/UI design skills, experience with design tools (Figma), or background in personalization and customer experience optimization.
  • Deep knowledge in specific verticals such as e-commerce, financial services, healthcare, or manufacturing.
  • Experience creating technical videos, tutorials, or multimedia content that explains complex technical concepts.
  • Experience with AI/ML platforms, APIs, or applications.
  • Understanding of how to demonstrate AI capabilities and integrate AI features into customer scenarios.

Qualifications

  • Experience in software development, systems engineering, or technical implementation roles.
  • Hands-on experience building web applications, APIs, or technical demonstrations.
  • Proficiency in modern programming languages (JavaScript/TypeScript or similar).
  • Experience working directly with customers, prospects, or internal stakeholders in a technical capacity.
