Job description

  • We rapidly build demos, prototypes, proofs of concept, and MVPs that bring AI use cases to life for clients and account teams.
  • We translate client problems into working technical concepts using models, agents, data, workflows, APIs, integrations, and user experience patterns.
  • We support discovery workshops, executive demos, technical deep dives, proof-of-value sessions, and partner enablement activities.
  • We partner with Solution Architects to ensure prototypes align to scalable architecture, delivery paths, security expectations, and operational requirements.
  • We work with ecosystem partners to showcase differentiated capabilities across OpenAI, Anthropic, Mistral, Google/Gemini, cloud, data, and enterprise platforms.
  • We package prototypes into reusable assets, demo scripts, technical collateral, setup guides, reference architectures, and handoff materials.
  • We validate technical feasibility, data dependencies, integration complexity, user experience assumptions, and implementation risks early in the sales cycle.
  • We help accelerate opportunity conversion by making AI solutions concrete, credible, and client-specific.
  • We contribute lessons learned, reusable code, prompts, agent patterns, and implementation guidance back into the global FDE knowledge base.
