What You’ll Do

  • Lead architecture and implementation for enterprise deployments that use Deepgram’s speech‑to‑text, text‑to‑speech, and voice‑agent capabilities.
  • Own post‑sales technical success for assigned accounts. Unblock integrations, optimize accuracy and latency, and guide customers to stable production.
  • Serve as the Tier‑3 escalation point for complex issues. Drive root cause analysis, propose mitigations, and write durable fixes or automation when possible.
  • Design reference architectures and implementation patterns for common EMEA customer use cases including contact centers, voice analytics, QA, and AI agents.
  • Build high‑quality samples, internal tools, or scripts that make repeatable tasks easier for customers and for our team.
  • Contribute to pre‑sales discovery and POCs when deep technical direction is needed. Translate business goals to a concrete plan with clear success criteria.
  • Partner with Product and Engineering to prioritize fixes and features. Bring crisp customer signals that improve our roadmap.
  • Contribute to knowledge systems. Capture runbooks, playbooks, and docs that scale your expertise across regions.
  • Participate in an on‑call or incident rotation appropriate for the region and customer support tier. Help us meet or outperform regional SLAs.

Regional Expectations

  • Based in an EMEA time zone with reliable overlap to customer business hours.
  • Excellent written and spoken English. Additional European languages are a strong plus.
  • Familiarity with GDPR, data privacy expectations, and enterprise security reviews common across EMEA.
  • Ability to travel within the region for critical customer milestones, estimated 10–20 percent.

You’ll Thrive Here If You

  • Enjoy solving hard customer problems at the code, container, and cloud layers.
  • Like translating messy real‑world constraints into clear architectures and plans.
  • Are comfortable writing and reading production‑grade code, not just sample snippets.
  • Value crisp documentation, reproducible runbooks, and operational excellence.
  • Care about delivering outcomes, not just closing tickets.

Minimum Qualifications

  • 5 or more years in Solutions Architecture, Solutions Engineering, or similar customer‑facing technical roles.
  • Professional software engineering experience in at least one language such as Python, Rust, or JavaScript. You can build POCs and tools that real users run.
  • Hands‑on experience with modern cloud platforms. Comfortable with containerization and orchestration, for example Docker and Kubernetes, and with secure network design for API‑driven systems.
  • Proven ownership of complex post‑sales work such as production deployments, migrations, performance tuning, and incident response.
  • Clear written and verbal communication across both technical and executive audiences.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience with speech recognition, TTS, or building voice agents that orchestrate LLMs.
  • Familiarity with WER analysis, model selection and tuning, and accuracy‑versus‑latency tradeoffs.
  • Experience operating self‑hosted systems, including Helm‑based deployments and observability for production services.
  • Strong understanding of authentication, authorization, data residency, and compliance topics that appear in EMEA enterprise reviews.
  • Fluency in an additional European language such as German, French, Dutch, Italian, or Spanish.

How We Work

  • Remote across EMEA with periodic regional meetups.
  • Collaboration with colleagues in the Americas and APAC to support continuous coverage.
  • Shared playbooks, defined escalation paths, and measurable SLAs.

Interview Process

  • Recruiter screen focused on experience, motivations, and logistics.
  • Hiring manager conversation focused on technical depth and customer impact.
  • Technical assessment that mirrors real work. Expect practical coding, architecture discussion, and debugging.
  • Panel interviews with cross‑functional partners.
  • A presentation simulating a post-sales customer engagement, based on a provided case study. Additionally, you’ll be asked to present a past customer‑facing technical engagement that you led, including the problem, your approach, and measurable outcomes.
