Lead deployment lifecycle for AI platform integrations serving enterprise clients, focusing on backend engineering and system reliability.

About the company

  • An enterprise AI platform that automates customer service interactions at scale, deployed across global enterprise accounts handling tens of thousands of calls daily. The company is well-funded, growing fast, and expanding its deployment team to support a rapidly scaling client base.

Responsibilities

  • A fast-growing AI platform serving enterprise customers is building out its deployment team to own the technical side of client rollouts end-to-end. You'll be the primary technical contact for major accounts, taking AI-powered solutions from configuration to production and keeping them running at scale.
  • This is not a support role. It's not pre-sales. It's a heavy engineering function with full client ownership — the kind of work where you're in architecture discussions with a CTO one hour and debugging a production incident the next. If you move fast, think in systems, and want your name on the accounts you deploy, this is where that happens.

Requirements

  • 2–5 years in a client-facing technical role — solutions engineering, technical consulting, or deployment/implementation. You've owned external relationships, not just supported them.
  • Python in production — backend services, APIs, automation. Scripting-only experience is not sufficient.
  • Docker for containerized deployments. Kubernetes experience is a strong plus.
  • REST API integrations at enterprise scale — day one capability, no ramp-up needed.
  • Comfortable owning complex enterprise stakeholder relationships independently — from architecture decisions to escalation handling, without hand-holding.
  • AI-assisted development mindset — you use AI tooling to move faster and expect it to handle the majority of your code.
  • Native-level English fluency — written and verbal. You'll interface directly with CTOs and senior executives.
  • PST full business hours availability — based in LATAM, full overlap required.

Nice to have

  • Background in AI, NLP, or conversational systems
  • Experience with VoIP, SIP/RTP, CCaaS, or CPaaS platforms
  • Experience at a contact center technology or voice infrastructure company
  • Exposure to enterprise backend service architecture and multi-system integrations

Other

  • Lead the full deployment lifecycle for enterprise integrations — from initial client configuration through production go-live and ongoing reliability.
  • Serve as the primary technical contact for a portfolio of enterprise clients: run architecture discussions, own escalations, and keep systems healthy.
  • Build and maintain monitoring infrastructure, dashboards, and alerting systems that surface issues before they become client problems.
  • Own backend and API integrations across enterprise systems, ensuring secure and stable production operation.
  • Translate client requirements into scalable solutions within platform constraints, and bring patterns back to product and engineering to close gaps.
  • Drive a data-informed approach to deployments through logging and analytics systems that enable proactive optimization.
  • Python, Docker, Kubernetes, SIP/RTP, REST APIs & monitoring/observability tooling (*Specifics TBD by client stack)
