What you’ll do
Define and build the growth function from the ground up, establishing the technical infrastructure, frameworks, and repeatable processes that will scale
Develop and execute strategies to create, engage, and grow our audience across marketing channels (Google, Linkedin, Meta, Reddit, X, etc.) and all possible developer touchpoints
Partner with product and engineering leadership to influence roadmap prioritization, pricing, and packaging strategy using growth data, funnel analysis, and user insights to inform monetization decisions and conversion optimization
Build a thriving developer ecosystem, fostering community engagement and advocacy
Coordinate high-impact product launches that generate significant visibility, leveraging newsletters, podcasts, press, publications and other outlets
Create viral campaigns leveraging product capabilities to reach and convert developers
Drive SEO, content strategy, and performance marketing initiatives across every channel where developers discover, evaluate, and adopt new tools
Build and maintain marketing infrastructure, tracking, dashboards, attribution tooling
Own technical content, from blog posts and landing pages to demo script and onboarding flows
What you’ll bring
Former founder or seasoned growth leader with experience scaling early-stage, high-growth companies
Strong product or engineering background with technical fluency, able to design and implement technically driven growth systems
Deep analytical skills: comfortable with growth modeling, cohort analysis, A/B experimentation, funnel diagnostics, and data-driven decision-making
Track record of running product launches and campaigns that directly accelerated adoption and revenue
Hands on experience managing performance marketing budgets, paid channel strategy, and attribution across the full funnel
Thrive in ambiguity and see constant change as opportunity, not obstacle
Naturally spend nights and weekends hands-on with the latest technical innovations

We’ve also been recognized by CB Insights as one of the 100 most promising AI companies globally and have been named one of LinkedIn’s Top 10 Startups in the USA.
Your Impact
We're looking for a Founding AI Solutions Engineer who will sit at the intersection of sales, product, and engineering — and become the technical backbone of our revenue team. You'll work directly with the senior leadership and our GTM team to help enterprise and developer customers go from "this sounds interesting" to "this is in production."
You'll run POCs, build prototypes, and translate complex technical questions into clear answers for both engineers and executives. You'll own the technical side of deals pre- and post-signature — ensuring customers are genuinely successful, not just signed. 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.
What You'll Do
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
Serve as the primary technical advisor during onboarding, getting customers from signed contract to production-quality integration
Translate customer requirements into actionable feedback for Product and Engineering
Answer deep technical questions live — latency tradeoffs, on-prem vs. cloud deployment, streaming architecture, model selection — without needing backup
Build and maintain a library of integration examples, demo environments, and technical collateral that the whole GTM team can use
Identify expansion opportunities by understanding what customers are building and where Inworld can do more
Contribute to shaping our technical sales process as an early hire — you'll define what great looks like here
Work closely with GTM leadership to redefine modern GTM and sales process
What You'll Bring
5+ years of experience in a customer-facing technical role (Solutions Engineer, Sales Engineer, Solutions Architect, or Technical Account Manager)
Strong hands-on coding ability — you can write production-quality integration code, not just scripts. Python strongly preferred; JavaScript/TypeScript a plus
Deep familiarity with AI/ML APIs — you understand how to work with LLMs, speech models, and streaming APIs, and can explain tradeoffs to both engineers and executives
Demonstrated ability to run technical POCs end-to-end and drive them to a decision
Effective communicator who can bridge technical and business conversations with ease
High level of empathy and integrity in customer interactions
Thrives in ambiguity and sees constant change as opportunity, not obstacle
Bachelor's degree or higher in a technical domain
Bonus Qualifications
Experience with voice AI, TTS, STT, or real-time audio and speech systems
Background in gaming, CCaaS, or media and entertainment — our top customer verticals
Familiarity with on-premise and edge deployment patterns (containerization, model serving, quantization)
Experience with WebSocket/WebRTC or real-time streaming infrastructure
Prior experience at a high-growth startup or as a founder/operator
Experience with modern GTM tooling (Clay, n8n, Zapier, etc.)
Candidates must be based in the SF Bay Area or willing to relocate (you will be working on-site in our South Bay office a few days a week).
The base salary range for this full-time position is $170,000 - $250,000+ bonus + equity + benefits.

Who We're Looking For
A year ago, reliably working agentic systems barely existed. Nobody has a decade of experience here. So we're not screening for a resume template — we're looking for strong people from varied backgrounds who learn fast, thrive in ambiguity, and can show us what they've built, broken, and understood.
Experience We Find Useful
You don't need all of this. But you need enough to make a case.
Foundation models: training, new architectures, RL, reward modeling, scaling
Evaluation: benchmarks, eval loops, quality measurement, LLM-as-judge, failure analysis
Frontier topics: multimodal models, agents, tool use, test-time compute, world models
Published research at ICML, ICLR, NeurIPS, EMNLP, ACL, or AAAI
PhD in ML/NLP — or equivalent practical experience you can point to
Public work: non-trivial AI side projects, interdisciplinary experiments, open-source contributions
Full-stack research ownership: you frame the question, run the experiments, write the paper, ship the result
If you learned through building, competitions, or collaborations outside academia, that counts. We care about evidence, not credentials.
Who Thrives Here
You don’t need a roadmap to start walking; you’re comfortable picking a direction and building the map as you go
You believe research isn't finished until it’s shipped. You have a bias for impact over purely academic output
You don't just ship code; you obsess over the why. You’re the first to question an approach if you think there’s a better way to solve the core problem
You aren't satisfied with "the PM said so." You thrive on deep context and want to understand the fundamental logic behind every decision we make
What Working Here Is Like
We hand you unclear problems and expect you to make them clear. We value researchers who say "I don't know yet" and then design the experiment that finds out. We treat evaluation as a first-class research product, not a box to check before launch. Impact comes before publications though we support sharing work that moves the field forward. Your work should be visible. Flat structure, fast iterations, minimal process theater.
We believe in the power of in-person collaboration to solve the hardest problems and foster a strong team culture. We offer relocation assistance and look forward to you joining us in our Mountain View office.
The base salary range for this full-time position is $270,000 - $500,000+ bonus + equity + benefits.

Who We're Looking For
A year ago, reliably working agentic systems barely existed. Nobody has a decade of experience here. So we're not screening for a resume template — we're looking for strong people from varied backgrounds who learn fast, thrive in ambiguity, and can show us what they've built, broken, and understood.
Experience We Find Useful
You don't need all of this. But you need enough to make a case.
- Foundation models: training, new architectures, RL, reward modeling, scaling
- Evaluation: benchmarks, eval loops, quality measurement, LLM-as-judge, failure analysis
- Frontier topics: multimodal models, agents, tool use, test-time compute, world models
- Published research at ICML, ICLR, NeurIPS, EMNLP, ACL, or AAAI
- PhD in ML/NLP — or equivalent practical experience you can point to
- Public work: non-trivial AI side projects, interdisciplinary experiments, open-source contributions
- Full-stack research ownership: you frame the question, run the experiments, write the paper, ship the result
If you learned through building, competitions, or collaborations outside academia, that counts. We care about evidence, not credentials.
