About this role
Deepgram provides speech to text, text to speech and voice agent APIs, and its customers include Twilio and Cloudflare. This role wins complex technical evaluations across APAC from a base in India: leading proofs of concept, designing solution paths and driving repeatable adoption in strategic accounts. What distinguishes it from a standard pre sales seat is that the posting expects you to build. It asks for professional software engineering experience in JavaScript or TypeScript, Python or Rust, and says you should be able to build proofs of concept and tools that real users run. It also sets concrete first year objectives, which is unusually transparent. Note the working reality before applying: the role covers a follow the sun model across East Asia, Southeast Asia and Australia and New Zealand.
Who this is for
The posting publishes no years figure, so our experience field is empty and this role will not appear under any experience filter here. It asks instead for experience in a customer facing technical role focused on pre sales.
Required: professional software engineering experience in at least one language such as JavaScript or TypeScript, Python or Rust, with the ability to build proofs of concept and tools that real users run. Fluency in an additional Asian language such as Japanese, Korean, Mandarin or Hindi is listed as desirable.
Stated objectives, which the posting sets out concretely: act as technical owner for several opportunities and expansions within strategic accounts; close at least one complex technical win with measurable revenue impact; and lead one customer architecture workshop that documents a reference approach.
Day to day: win complex technical evaluations, design clear solution paths and drive repeatable adoption for strategic accounts, partnering long term across discovery, proof of concept, production launch and expansion. The posting notes that strategic account executives do not hand off customers after the first sale, so while the role is focused on pre sales you will often step into post sales work where continuity matters.
Location and working arrangement: the posting states the role is based out of India and will service the APAC region, describes the team as remote across APAC with periodic regional meetups, and says you should be based in an APAC time zone with strong overlap to customer business hours across East Asia, Southeast Asia and Australia and New Zealand. So it is remote, but with regional hour expectations attached.
Deepgram states an AI first operating rhythm, expecting every team member to actively use and experiment with advanced AI tools, and says performance is measured partly on how effectively AI is applied. It also warns directly that the role may not suit someone seeking something highly prescriptive with a traditional nine to five.
No interview process is published.
