• Solutions Engineers are the bridge between customers, Sales, and Product. What you learn in the field shapes what we build next.

What You’ll Do:

• 30 days: Ramp on Vapi’s architecture, build your own voice agents end-to-end, and learn how customers build with our APIs.
• 60 days: Lead technical discovery, scope integrations with telephony, CRM, and backend systems, and prototype voice agent solutions alongside AEs.
• 90 days: Own the technical side of strategic enterprise sales cycles and pilots end-to-end with AEs, from first demo through security review and production handoff.
• Ongoing: Build reusable demos, reference architectures, and documentation. Bring customer feedback to Product and Engineering to influence the roadmap.

• You’re a world-class educator who can explain complex systems to engineers and executives alike.
• You’re hands-on with code. You’re comfortable with REST APIs, webhooks, and scripting in Python or JavaScript, and you can build a working prototype quickly.
• Experience with telephony, contact center platforms, or LLM-based applications is a strong plus.
• You stay calm and resourceful when a live demo or pilot goes sideways.
• Bonus: You’ve built your own startup.
