With world-class collaborators like Palantir, Nvidia, HPE, and Oracle, we’re building intelligent infrastructure that enhances human capability and drives impact at the edge and across a range of enterprises.

We’re looking for bold thinkers and doers to join us in shaping the future of AI that’s secure, grounded, and built to work.

Solutions Engineer/Agentic AI Tools/Generative AI Protoyping/Proof of Concept (POC) (Southeastern US Area)

Job Description:

We're looking for a pre/post sales focused engineer at Legion Intelligence to demonstrate what agentic AI does in real operational environments for prospective customers and partners. In this role, you'll architect and implement proof of concepts (POCs) that show customers the impact Legion can have on their mission. You'll educate prospects on how Legion's capabilities change the way work gets done and on how we address the concerns that decide these deals: accreditation posture, operation in air-gapped and disconnected environments, data sovereignty, human oversight, and full attribution and audit of agent activity. Using your familiarity with customer needs, you'll bring their use cases, desired features, and pain points to our internal teams to help Legion improve the product. By building a strong relationship with prospective customer stakeholders, you'll become a trusted advisor, providing honest assessments of what Legion will and will not do for a given mission.

Responsibilities:

- Work with sales leadership, the CEO, and the VP of Delivery to develop and implement the technical pre-sales and delivery scoping process for Legion Intelligence.
- Communicate with customer business stakeholders to identify areas where Legion Intelligence can bring value, then design and implement POCs for those opportunities.
- Establish ongoing relationships with technical procurement stakeholders at major clients, driving
- Build and present demonstrations tailored to specific prospective customers to showcase the value of Legion Intelligence
- Lead technical pre-sales presentations and demonstrations with prospective customer stakeholders, translating technical concepts to business impact for non-technical decision-makers.
- Work alongside pre-sales engineers at partner organizations to build reusable demonstration materials.
- Analyze competitor products and build comparison materials to educate Legion Intelligence employees and prospective customers on our unique value proposition.
- Relay customer feedback and insights to Legion Intelligence internal team to inform product decisions.

Qualifications:

- 4 years experience in pre-sales engineering,
- 2 years experience developing prototypes using cloud computing solutions like Oracle Cloud, AWS, Azure, or GCP.
- Proficiency with Python or another scripting language.

- Active security clearance is required.
