About the role

Today our models are the #1 ranked realtime voice models in the world.
They are used to power the largest consumer-facing AI applications available, across categories like health, fitness, learning, therapy, companions, customer experience and media; representing 100s of millions of end users.
Our work spans areas like research and development of state-of-the-art models, optimizing realtime inference, and creating best-in-class APIs and products that allow developers to engage their users.

Partner with GTM Leads on deals - lead technical discovery, run POCs, and own the solution design from first call through close
Build working prototypes and reference integrations that demonstrate Inworld's TTS, STT, LLM Router, LLM inference, and Realtime API solutions in the customer's actual context - not just a demo environment
Build and maintain a library of integration examples, demo environments, and technical collateral that the whole GTM team can use
You'll run POCs, build prototypes, and translate complex technical questions into clear answers for both engineers and executives.
Your work will directly shape how Inworld scales across gaming, CCaaS, media, consumer AI and beyond, and your fingerprints will be on the SE function as we build it.

Inworld is a research lab of top researchers and engineers, building the world's top-ranked realtime voice models.
You'll own the technical side of deals pre- and post-signature - ensuring customers are genuinely successful, not just signed.

Prior experience at a high-growth startup or as a founder/operator
Experience with modern GTM tooling (Clay, n8n, Zapier, etc.)
