Key Responsibilities

• Lead hands-on proof-of-concept engagements with enterprise customers, demonstrating deep expertise in AI, and security domains.
• Translate customer pain points (e.G., data exfiltration, AI misuse, policy circumvention) into technical requirements and collaborate closely with product and engineering teams to ship new features.
• Conduct immersive on-site or virtual discovery workshops, technical deep dives, and architecture reviews to align product capabilities with each customer’s compliance, risk, and AI-adoption posture.
• Serve as the primary technical liaison : gather feedback, prioritize enhancements, and ensure customer requirements influence the product roadmap.
• Collaborate with data science and engineering teams to incorporate AI models into production-grade microservices, ensuring scalability, reliability, and security best practices.
• Design and deliver technical collateral, solution briefs, architecture diagrams, proof-of-concept scripts, test harnesses, that empower field teams and partners to demonstrate Quillr’s value proposition.
• Lead quarterly “Innovation Days” or similar working sessions where product, engineering, and customers co-develop advanced AI rule sets, detection logic, or policy engines.
• Work closely with Partners, Marketing, and Sales Engineering to create up-to-date demonstrations, whitepapers, and reference architectures.
• Provide structured, data-driven feedback to product management and engineering to drive roadmap decisions, feature prioritization, and overall product strategy.
