AI/ML Presales Solutions Architect | About You
As an AI/ML Presales Solutions Architect, you are the technical authority supporting client conversations early in the sales cycle. You are responsible for understanding client problems, determining the right AI/ML approach, and shaping feasible, valuable solutions that align with both client needs and delivery capabilities. You thrive in exploratory, client‑facing environments where discovery, judgement, and solution framing matter more than hands‑on model building. You partner closely with sales to accelerate opportunities while ensuring we never over‑commit beyond what can realistically be delivered. You bring broad knowledge across AI, data platforms, and cloud ecosystems and are comfortable explaining what is possible, what is not, and the tradeoffs between different approaches.
