Full Job Description
The Role

As a Sales Engineer at Letter AI, you will be an artful seller and trusted technical advisor during the most strategic phases of our sales process. We are looking for someone a phenomenal presenter who can command the room and tell an inspiring story. You will partner closely with Account Executives on strategic, high-ARR opportunities to build custom, branded demo environments and bespoke buyer microsites, driving prospects to make Letter AI their vendor of choice.

What You'll Do

  • Deliver Strategic, Custom Demos: Lead post-discovery technical and strategic presentations for strategic, high-dollar target accounts (ranging from hyper-growth startups to 20,000-person enterprise prospects).
  • Build Custom Demo Environments: Leverage Letter AI's zero-code platform and internal tools to build fully customized demo instances and tailored microsites for every prospect. No generic stock demos or 50 open browser tabs.
  • Command the Room: Present powerfully across all settings-whether delivering a high-stakes custom demo to C-level executives or speaking to a crowd of hundreds at industry conferences and enablement strategy sessions.
  • Partner for Deal Closure: Collaborate closely with Account Executives to qualify technical/strategic requirements and secure "vendor of choice" status before handoff for final negotiations.
  • Represent Letter AI On-site: Travel (~once a month or as needed) to meet prospects on-site, attend company offsites (e.g., California), join SKO events, and participate in key customer strategy sessions.


Qualifications for the Role

  • Proven Presales Experience: Prior experience as a Sales Engineer, Solutions Consultant, or Solutions Engineer in SaaS (enterprise tech or sales/revenue enablement space highly preferred).
  • Masterful Presenter & Storyteller: Exceptional presentation skills with the ability to captivate audiences, simplify complex concepts, and build an emotional connection to the product's value.
  • Domain Expertise in Enablement: Deep understanding of the enablement persona (Sales Enablement Managers, VPs of Enablement, Revenue Ops) and their key operational pain points is a bonus.
  • Solid Eye for Design: Impeccable attention to detail when building custom slides, demo environments, and buyer microsites-ensuring polished, visually compelling customer collateral every time.
  • Strong AI Fundamentals: Practical understanding of AI concepts, AI integrations, and modern architecture (e.g., understanding agent connections, MCP servers, and generative AI capabilities) without needing to write code.
  • Startup-Scrappy & Adaptable: Comfortable in a high-growth, fast-moving environment with an agile mindset and willingness to jump on a plane when high-value customer opportunities arise.


How We Operate

At Letter AI, we operate by a set of core principles:

  • Customer-obsessed: Make your customers unreasonably happy and everything else will fall into place
  • Ambitious yet practical: Set big goals, but stay grounded with disciplined execution and ruthless prioritization
  • Direct yet kind: Never hold back from speaking your mind, but do so in a way that is kind to your colleagues

What's in it for you?

  • Compensation: $110-$175k base salary, depending on experience, expertise, and expected impact, plus variable compensation
  • Ownership: Every full-time teammate receives Letter stock options, so you can share in the value you help create
  • Benefits that have you covered: Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision coverage, plus a 401(k) with company match
  • Benefits for the everyday: Company-supported commuter, connectivity, and wellness benefits, plus daily lunch in our Chicago and San Francisco offices
