Senior Forward Deployed Engineer – Key Accounts (AI Solutions)

About the role

The embedded technical partner for a focused portfolio of Aircall's most strategic global accounts, driving agentic AI adoption use case by use case, in lockstep with Key Account Managers, from a first deployed use case to platform-wide expansion.

Responsibilities

• Own a sustained, embedded relationship with each account in your portfolio — you are the customer's go-to technical authority on agentic AI, not a project resource who rotates off once a deployment ships.
• Partner directly with the Key Account Manager on a joint account plan: the KAM owns the commercial relationship and quota; you own the agentic use-case roadmap and technical execution; together you build and drive the pipeline of expansion use cases.
• Land the first use case fast, then expand — deploy an initial high-value workflow, instrument the outcome, and use proven value to open the next use case and the next buying centre within the account.
• Serve as the customer's trusted advisor on agentic strategy — map their AI roadmap 6–12 months out, not just the deployment in front of you, and keep Aircall positioned as the platform of record.
• Lead discovery and solution-design sessions with customer stakeholders to map business processes, identify automation opportunities, and define solution architecture.
• Design, build, and deploy integrations using low/no-code platforms (Zapier, Make, n8n, Workato) and CRM automation tools (HubSpot Workflows, Salesforce Flow) with API connectors.
• Configure and optimise the AI Agent — defining intents, prompts, actions, guardrails, and performance metrics tailored to each account's workflows.
• Manage complex, cross-functional deployments — defining timelines, aligning stakeholders, ensuring accountability, and delivering on time and within scope.
• Collaborate with Engineering to validate technical feasibility, resolve blockers, and feed field learnings back into the product.
• Create scalable models and reusable frameworks (templates, playbooks, reference architectures) that make expansion within your accounts — and future Key Account engagements across the team — faster and more consistent.
• Champion continuous learning and enablement — mentor FDEs, run internal workshops, and document best practices to raise the technical bar across the team.
• Collaborate with GTM leadership to embed the routines and cadences that drive accountability for expansion pipeline, forecast accuracy, and performance tracking within Key Accounts.
• Contribute to expansion pipeline and MRR within your portfolio, jointly with the KAM — defining use-case-specific expansion strategies, coordinating cross-functional support, and ensuring Aircall delivers the leading AI-enabled communication platform.
• Shape the AI Agent roadmap with Product and PMM, based on customer needs, integration insights, and field learnings from your accounts.
• Drive internal and external product education, including enablement for System Integrators (SIs) and channel partners where they support your accounts.
• Maintain deep awareness of AI and CX industry trends, ensuring Aircall's positioning stays competitive and insights continuously feed back into product and GTM strategy.

  Requirements

  • 6+ years in technical consulting, solutions engineering, forward-deployed engineering, or integration-focused professional services — ideally with time owning strategic or enterprise accounts.
  • Proven ability to own a long-term customer relationship as the technical authority, operating with autonomy and credibility in front of senior (VP / CxO) stakeholders.
  • Strong command of APIs, webhooks, and data structures (JSON, REST, GraphQL) — able to design and troubleshoot integrations confidently. Even better if you have experience with MCP Servers.
  • Hands-on experience with low-code orchestration tools (Zapier, Make, n8n, Workato) and CRM automation (HubSpot, Salesforce).
  • Proficiency in scripting (JavaScript and/or Python) — used to build, customise, and debug integrations, not just read them.
  • Proven experience running account-based motions in partnership with sales / account management on strategic or enterprise customers.
  • Practical understanding of AI workflow configuration, including prompt engineering, evaluation, and monitoring.
  • Proven ability to lead complex, cross-functional programmes with Engineering, Product, and Customer Success to deliver scalable outcomes.
  • Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills, translating fluently between technical and business audiences.
  • A growth mindset — constantly learning new tools, frameworks, and ways to improve the customer experience and team capability.

  • Fluent in APIs, highly confident leading complex technical engagements, and credible in the room with senior customer stakeholders.
