About the role

We're looking for a Senior Sales Engineer to help enterprise customers adopt LandingAI's Agentic Document Extraction (ADE) platform. This is a highly customer-facing role where you'll combine deep AI expertise with consultative selling to help customers solve complex document processing challenges.

You'll partner closely with Account Executives throughout the sales cycle—leading technical discovery, designing solution architectures, delivering executive presentations, running product demonstrations, and guiding Proofs of Concept (PoCs).

Key Responsibilities

• Serve as the technical lead for enterprise sales opportunities, partnering closely with Account Executives throughout the entire pre-sales cycle.
• Lead technical discovery sessions to understand customer business challenges, document workflows, and technical requirements.
• Design solution architectures and deliver compelling product demonstrations, executive presentations, whiteboard sessions, and technical workshops that demonstrate the value of Agentic Document Extraction.
• Lead technical evaluations and Proofs of Concept (PoCs), helping customers validate both business value and technical fit.
• Develop prototype integrations and AI workflows using Python, APIs, and modern AI development tools to address customer use cases.
• Collaborate with Sales on technical strategy, proposals, competitive positioning, executive briefings, and ROI discussions to help win strategic enterprise opportunities.
• Support strategic customer engagements after the sale as part of a land-and-expand strategy, partnering with Customer Success and Engineering when additional technical leadership is needed.
• Provide structured customer feedback to Product and Engineering, helping shape the future direction of the ADE platform.
• Partner with ISVs, OEMs, and System Integrators to build industry-specific AI solutions and expand the ADE ecosystem.
• Stay current on emerging AI technologies and contribute technical thought leadership through customer success stories, conference presentations, blogs, and internal best practices.
