Forward Deployed Engineer
As a Forward Deployed Engineer at Exa, you will act as a crucial link between engineering and sales, working directly with customers to understand their needs and demonstrate the Exa API. This role involves both strong programming skills to build solutions and tutorials, and excellent customer-facing abilities to manage sales calls and improve the sales pipeline.
Exa is building a search engine for the AI era. Our Search API currently powers Agents, Fortune 500s and AI labs as we transform an industry that hasn’t been disrupted since the 90s. We're a largely SF-based team of ~100 from Harvard, MIT, Meta, Google Research, ex-founders & dropouts alike.
We are rapidly building the most intelligent search engine in history. We’re high agency, low-ego, and united by the feeling that this is one of the last problems worth getting right.
As a Forward Deployed Engineer at Exa, you'll bridge the gap between engineering and sales by working closely with both our customers and engineering. This requires someone who can program and also sell -- a killer combo!
