About the role

  • A customer-facing engineer who lives at the intersection of deployment, integration, and product.
  • The job isn't demoing software; it's owning the outcome.
  • Core product engineers then generalize it.

Responsibilities

  • Build and deploy production solutions, not prototypes.
  • Own the full integration lifecycle.

Requirements

  • You know what it means to make something work with their data, their constraints, and their team watching.
  • You don't need to be the deepest specialist in every layer, but you can't be blocked by any of them.
  • Not "I've used Copilot." You know how to make AI leverage safe in a live-customer context.
  • You can explain a technical constraint to a commercial director, write a concise integration spec for an engineer, and run a customer call without a script.
  • But the industry is still massively under-instrumented, running on fragmented tools and the institutional knowledge of people who've been doing it for decades.

Nice to have

  • Materials industry or adjacent vertical context.
  • Chemicals, polymers, specialty materials, commodity trading, or distribution - familiarity with how these businesses buy, sell, and move product is a genuine accelerant.
  • SAP / ERP depth.
  • RFC/BAPI, ABAP, customer and order master data flows - or the confidence to reverse-engineer a customer's SAP configuration to that level under time pressure.
  • Pre-sales or solutions engineering experience.
  • You've sat in discovery calls and helped assess feasibility.
  • You understand the gap between what a prospect wants and what's actually buildable in their environment.
  • Fluency in compliance contexts.

Skills

  • ABOUT VAILENT Vailent is the AI infrastructure for the materials industry - chemicals, polymers, elastomers, rubber.
  • The companies in this space run on a mess of CRMs, ERPs, point tools, and flat files.
  • Be the primary technical relationship.
  • Serve as the customer's technical point of contact across the engagement - from onboarding through steady state.
  • Run technical calls, explain architectural decisions to non-technical stakeholders, and surface risks before they become incidents.
  • Support sales in technically complex deals.
  • The close and the deployment aren't separate jobs.
  • Direct AI agents through customer-specific work.
  • Close the feedback loop with product and engineering.
  • Capture and reuse what works.
  • Treat every repeated setup task as a bug to be fixed once and inherited forever.
  • Author the thinking, not just the code.

Company info

  • Our customers run complex enterprise stacks: SAP/ERP systems, legacy CRMs, bespoke flat-file workflows built over decades.
  • Embed with customers and own the outcome.
