Senior Deployment Strategist

Who We Are Serval is an AI-native automation platform transforming how enterprises operate. We build intelligent agents that understand real-world workflows and execute them end-to-end — replacing manual processes and rigid legacy systems with adaptive, learning software. Founded in early 2024, Serval is already trusted by companies like Fox, Notion, Perplexity, Vercel, Mercor, LangChain, and Verkada to automate high-volume, high-friction operational work across their organizations. At the core of Serval is an agentic AI platform that turns natural language into production‑grade workflows. Our agents don’t just respond to requests — they reason, take action across systems, and continuously improve with usage. What began with operational use cases has quickly evolved into a horizontal AI automation layer used across IT, HR, Finance, Security, Legal, and Engineering. Our mission is to eliminate repetitive, manual work across the enterprise and give teams leverage through intelligent automation. Long term, we’re building the universal AI operations layer — a system of agents that sits across business functions and runs the workflows that keep modern companies moving. We’re backed by leading investors including Sequoia Capital, Redpoint Ventures, Meritech, First Round, General Catalyst, Elad Gil, and others, and founded by product and engineering leaders from Verkada. About The Team The Agent Deployment team is a specialized technical team responsible for end-to-end execution of Serval's AI agent deployments. The org has two tracks: Deployed Engineers operate as technical leads on our most strategic engagements, owning the full build from architecture through production; Deployment Strategists own the customer lifecycle from implementation to adoption and expansion. Both roles are technical, customer‑facing, and central to how Serval turns product capability into real business outcomes. Role Overview As a Senior Deployment Strategist on Serval's Agent Deployment team, you’ll own the end-to-end customer journey, from initial implementation through adoption and expansion. You are the primary relationship owner for your customers, responsible for their outcomes and for coordinating escalations with engineering and leadership when needed. Deployment Strategists work deeply within Serval’s existing product surface area: building novel workflows, configuring integrations, and shipping bug fixes and product changes on your own. This is a founding role on a team we're building from scratch. The right person for this role thrives on execution velocity, moving quickly across multiple engagements. The right person also thrives in ambiguity and brings a strong blend of technical depth and customer obsession. What You’ll Do Own customer onboarding end-to-end, designing and delivering implementations that align Serval to customer workflows and goals. Conduct training sessions and create documentation that helps customers become self‑sufficient with Serval’s technology. Design and execute migration plans that minimize disruption and ensure seamless adoption of Serval’s platform. Serve as the primary technical resource post‑sale, troubleshooting issues and advocating for customer needs internally. Partner with Engineering, Sales, and Marketing to turn customer insights into product improvements and scalable processes. Modify production code to fix bugs and build features to extend the product’s capabilities to meet customer needs. What You’ll Need Degree in Computer Science or a related technical field. 5+ years of experience in an engineering role, ideally with close customer interaction (e.g., Product Engineer). Experience investigating production issues by analyzing code paths, database state, API requests and responses, leveraging infra and browser dev tools. Understanding of APIs and RESTful concepts; IAM knowledge; SQL for data analysis; ability to read and troubleshoot production code in customer‑facing environments. Deep appreciation for delivering high‑quality user experiences. Exceptional ability to translate complex technical concepts to both technical and non‑technical stakeholders, including executive audiences. Strong sense of ownership, with a demonstrated ability to operate independently and drive outcomes in ambiguous environments. Deep commitment to customer success and delivering high‑quality user experiences. Nice to Have Experience in an early‑stage startup environment. Experience writing production code. Familiarity with IT, security, or service management domain. Experience building internal tools, automation, or deployment frameworks that scale across customers.
