About the Position:
As a MLOps Sales Engineer working fully remotely in the USA, you will be the primary technical liaison to our prospective clients during sales as well as key customer accounts. You will be responsible for delivering the technical win and product fit during evaluation and onboarding of the Comet platform. It is critical for this role to build customer trust in our platform which will aid the sales and customer success organizations. You will lead the technical pre-sales relationship, demonstrate the product, anticipate concerns, and offer creative solutions to customer problems. You will also be responsible for providing feedback to product and engineering on key customer pain points and requirements that would inform the future roadmap.
The role requires someone who is both highly technical and a skilled relationship builder. You should be equally comfortable painting a vision of the technical possibilities of the platform with a C-level exec and white boarding workflows with customer’s data science and DevOps teams.
You will be working with a global team (presences in the US, Israel, and EU) – so some flexibility with work hours is required.
