## About the Role

You might come from technical account management, technical CSM, solutions engineering, implementation, consulting, banking, or another high-rigor customer-facing role. What matters is that you can earn trust with senior customers, reason through technical problems, and operate with real ownership.

You should have:

 * 4+ years in a customer-facing post-sales, implementation, solutions, consulting, banking, or similarly rigorous analytical role
 * Hands-on experience with LLMs, prompts, evals, or agentic workflows
 * Strong foundational understanding of LLM and agent concepts, including context, tool use, failure modes, and eval methodology
 * Comfort reading API docs and understanding concepts like webhooks, integrations, data mapping, and data pipelines
 * Enough technical fluency to discuss architecture and failure modes with customer engineering teams
 * Strong judgment in ambiguous, high-stakes customer situations
 * Experience working with senior stakeholders across operations, compliance, product, engineering, and commercial teams
 * Comfort saying "no" or "not yet" when the ask does not match product, technical, or compliance reality

Experience in fintech, banking, insurance, lending, collections, servicing, or another regulated industry is a strong plus. Familiarity with CFPB expectations, Reg F, UDAAP, auditability, or compliance-heavy workflows is especially valuable.

Experience owning strategic enterprise relationships, especially $1M+ ARR accounts, is also a strong plus.

What stands out

We care less about pedigree and more about evidence that you have operated at a high bar. Strong signals include a rigorous academic background, especially in a quantitative field; a history of building and shipping things; outsized responsibility early in your career; competitive achievement; or clear evidence of intensity, judgment, and follow-through.

We will test for prompt writing, eval thinking, and technical judgment in the interview process. There are no exceptions to that bar, regardless of background.

## Description

* Own the ongoing relationship for a portfolio of strategic accounts, including adoption, health tracking, QBRs, renewals, and expansion
 * Review transcripts, audit logs, prompts, evals, and integration data to explain agent behavior to customer compliance, operations, and engineering teams
 * Triage issues across data mapping, configuration, prompt behavior, customer training, expectation gaps, and product defects
 * Write, test, and deploy prompt and logic changes as customer workflows, business rules, or compliance requirements change
 * Partner with Forward Deployed Engineers on integrations, data pipelines, custom workflow logic, and deeper architecture work
 * Turn customer feedback into structured product signal, prioritized by severity, account impact, and repeatability
 * Run clean handoffs from Implementation into steady-state account ownership
 * Push back when customer asks, sales commitments, or internal assumptions do not match technical or compliance reality
