Applied AI Field Engineer , you will be the bridge between complex business inefficiencies and our no‑code AI automation platform. You won’t just demonstrate features; you will architect intelligent workflows that transform unstructured data into action.

What You’ll Do

Strategic Solutioning: Partner with Account Executives to uncover high‑value customer pains, translate them into business requirements, and create concrete AI automation designs using our platform.

Build to Win: Design and configure compelling Proofs of Concept (POCs). Leverage our drag‑and‑drop workflow builders and collaboration AI toolsets to show customers their own data being processed in real time.

Applied AI Advisory: Act as a trusted advisor on “The Art of the Possible.” Educate customers on prompt engineering best practices, agentic workflows, and how to govern AI safely, without needing to discuss low‑level model weights.

Champion the User Experience: As the primary feedback loop to Product Management, help refine the user interface and agent capabilities based on customer experience with our no‑code tools.

What You Bring

Applied AI Fluency: 3+ years of experience building or deploying AI/ML solutions. Understand the functional application of LLMs, prompt engineering, and the practicalities of Generative AI, LLMs (GPT, Gemini, Anthropic), and RAG (Retrieval‑Augmented Generation).

Technical Storytelling: Proven track record in a customer‑facing role (Solutions Consultant, Sales Engineer, or Business Analyst). Excel at simplifying complex AI concepts for non‑technical stakeholders.

Data Literacy: Comfortable working with unstructured data (documents, emails, chats) and extracting structured value from it.

Sales Engineering Excellence: Proven track record in a customer‑facing technical role (Sales Engineering, Solutions Architecture, or Forward Deployed Engineering). Map technical features to business value effectively.

Problem Solving: Love unstructured problems and can visualize the AI pipeline needed to structure a messy dataset.

Education: Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Mathematics, or equivalent practical experience.

For US‑based roles: The base salary range for this role is $157,000 to $175,000 + commission, equity, and benefits. Actual pay may vary based on location, experience/skills, and the impact expected at Instabase.
