Senior Sales Engineer

Senior Sales Engineer

LandingAI is building the infrastructure to make the world's documents computable. We are an AI-native company transforming PDFs, PowerPoints, JPGs and other unstructured or semi-structured documents and images into structured data that software can understand and act on. Our focus is on the hardest document understanding problems with complex layouts, tables, images, handwriting, charts, photographs and mixed modalities.

Founded by Andrew Ng, LandingAI has brought together some of the strongest AI Engineers and Machine Learning Engineers in the industry, with deep expertise in visual AI, agentic systems, foundation models, and production ML infrastructure.

We build from the ground up where it matters, move fast with the latest AI coding tools and agentic developer workflows, and invest in the compute and technical environment needed to do exceptional work.

This is a place for builders. If you want to work on real technical depth, move quickly, take ownership, and help define the future of document intelligence, LandingAI is the place to do it.

We're looking for a Senior Sales Engineer to help enterprise customers adopt LandingAI's Agentic Document Extraction (ADE) platform. This is a highly customer-facing role where you'll combine deep AI expertise with consultative selling to help customers solve complex document processing challenges. As the technical lead on enterprise opportunities, you'll partner closely with Account Executives throughout the sales cycleleading technical discovery, designing solution architectures, delivering executive presentations, running product demonstrations, and guiding Proofs of Concept (PoCs). While this role requires strong hands-on AI expertise, success is measured by your ability to communicate complex technical concepts, build trust with enterprise customers, and help win strategic deals. You'll also remain involved after the sale to ensure successful customer adoption and identify opportunities for expansion. You'll work closely with Product, Engineering, Customer Success, and GTM teams to shape both customer solutions and the future direction of the ADE platform.

• Support strategic customer engagements after the sale as part of a land-and-expand strategy, partnering with Customer Success and Engineering when additional technical leadership is needed.
• Provide structured customer feedback to Product and Engineering, helping shape the future direction of the ADE platform.
• Partner with ISVs, OEMs, and System Integrators to build industry-specific AI solutions and expand the ADE ecosystem.
• Stay current on emerging AI technologies and contribute technical thought leadership through customer success stories, conference presentations, blogs, and internal best practices.
