Senior Technical Sales Engineer

I'm hiring for a Senior Technical Engineer – Applied ML / HPC on behalf of a client, a deep-tech company commercializing quantum-enhanced computing for AI and optimization workloads, already live with customers running real hybrid quantum-classical systems in production settings.

This is a high-impact, customer-facing technical role, not a back-office solutions job. You'd own the technical side of the sales motion end-to-end: building demos, writing architectures and technical blueprints, running proof-of-concept engagements, and being the credible technical voice in the room that moves deals through the funnel.

What makes this a great next step:

  • High autonomy, you shape how technical opportunities get qualified and won, not just execute a script
  • Direct exposure to HPC, ML/optimization, and enterprise customers across chemistry, pharma, energy, finance, and defense
  • Genuine career runway: as the team scales, there's a real path to owning a region (US/EU/Asia) or growing into a self-funding, more commercial track
  • Small motivated team, high visibility, your work directly shapes product roadmap and go-to-market

What they need:

  • Pre-sales experience in deep-tech or high-tech, comfortable owning targeted, technical conversations with customers, not just supporting a rep
  • Hands-on technical credibility: able to build and run demos and PoCs yourself, set up environments, and speak fluently about distributed/industrial computing
  • Background in HPC, ML, or optimization environments, Python proficiency expected, but this isn't a heads-down engineering role
  • Experience training or optimizing ML systems.

If this sounds like you...apply today!
