Role Description
We’re looking for a Field Solutions Engineer to sit at the intersection of engineering and go-to-market: pairing deep hands-on building with direct customer work to turn Wand’s platform into real agent-hours, workflows, and value in production.
-
Work across the lifecycle from early technical validation and pilots through rollout and adoption.
-
Translate messy business problems into concrete, testable workflows.
-
Build believable prototypes and help customers scale usage across many use cases.
-
If you love writing Python, wiring up APIs, and experimenting with LLMs as much as you enjoy talking to customers, this is a chance to shape how enterprises actually adopt the next generation of AI systems.
Responsibilities
-
Build and ship real solutions.
-
Design and implement workflows, agents, and integrations on Wand for live customer scenarios (not just demo toys).
-
Turn one-off builds into reusable patterns: templates, starter kits, and internal tools other CEs/SEs can reuse.
-
Own technical quality: performance, reliability, and auditability of what you ship.
-
Lead technical validation (“Proof-to-Contract”).
-
Help customers frame clear technical hypotheses: what needs to be proven (accuracy, coverage, latency, safety) for them to buy.
-
Design lightweight proofs, benchmarks, and evals that credibly answer, “Does this actually work for our data and process?”
-
Set up simple measurement for before/after: time saved, error reduction, or volume handled.
-
Support pre-sales and pilots.
-
Partner with Sales to shape and deliver believable demos and pilots that showcase Wand’s differentiators (agentic workflows, governance, complex document workflows, etc.).
-
Adapt and extend our demo environments rather than rebuilding from scratch each time.
-
Join customer calls to explain how things work under the hood and handle deep technical questions.
-
Drive onboarding, adoption, and expansion.
-
Help design and run onboarding plans: initial workflows, training sessions, office hours, and enablement for power users.
-
Instrument your solutions for usage and value (DAU/WAU, agent-hours, workflow runs) and use this data to guide iteration.
-
Partner with Customer Success to identify new use cases and turn proven workflows into broader rollouts.
-
Handle issues with urgency.
-
Debug and triage customer-facing issues, working closely with core Engineering when needed.
-
Provide clear, customer-ready explanations, workarounds, and follow-ups.
-
Feed recurring issues back into platform fixes, docs, and playbooks.
-
Build the CE toolbox and playbooks.
-
Contribute Python scripts, API workflows, and reference architectures that show “the Wand way” to build.
-
Document patterns for common use cases (e.g., contract review, research copilots, support augmentation) so the next deployment is faster.
-
Help define and refine internal CE rituals: intake criteria, pilot checklists, and demo/pilot templates.
Qualifications
-
5+ years in a hands-on technical role such as Sales Engineer, Solutions Architect, Customer/Field Engineer, or Product-adjacent Engineer, working directly with enterprise customers.
-
Strong practical engineering skills:
-
Comfortable writing Python in a professional context (scripts, services, ETL, automation).
-
Experience integrating with APIs, webhooks, and data sources (files, DBs, SaaS tools).
-
Able to design simple, robust systems and debug real-world failures.
-
Experience building with LLMs or applied AI systems:
-
Prompting, RAG, or agent/workflow orchestration (homegrown or with tools like LangChain, LlamaIndex, etc.).
-
You’ve shipped at least one real application, prototype, or internal tool that used an LLM or similar model in production or a serious pilot.
-
Comfortable in front of customers:
-
Can walk through an architecture diagram, show live workflows, and answer hard questions without hand-waving.
-
Can listen deeply, translate fuzzy asks into concrete technical work, and push back when a request doesn’t make sense.
-
Demonstrated ability to work across the lifecycle: discovery/solution design, proof/pilot build, rollout, and post-launch iteration.
-
Bachelor’s or Master’s in Computer Science, Engineering, or equivalent practical experience.
Who You Are
-
Builder First, Then Storyteller: You reach for a REPL or notebook before a slide. You’re happiest when you can show, not just tell — but you can narrate clearly for both engineers and executives.
-
Customer-Obsessed Problem Solver: You care less about “cool tech” and more about whether the workflow actually saves time, reduces risk, or lets the customer do something genuinely new.
-
Hands-On and Pragmatic: You’re comfortable with ambiguity and partial requirements. You find the smallest credible thing to build that proves the point and moves the deal or deployment forward.
-
Systems Thinker: You see how pre-sales, pilots, adoption, support, and metrics fit together and look for ways to turn one success into a pattern others can reuse.
-
Bias to Action and Ownership: You don’t wait for perfect specs. You pick up the ball, talk to whoever you need to, and get the workflow, demo, or fix over the line — then you document it so it’s easier next time.
