What you’ll do

The Metronome AI Native Solutions team operates at the intersection of technical sales, implementation, and customer success, purpose-built for the velocity and unique needs of AI-first companies. Unlike traditional sales engineering roles, this position owns the large parts of if not all of the deal cycle - from first call through technical win - and gets hands-on with implementation to ensure customers go live quickly.

As an AI Native Solutions Architect, you'll be the primary technical owner for fast-moving AI companies that may need to launch usage-based billing on tight timelines. This means:

Owning the technical win

Taking qualified inbound leads and driving them through discovery, demo, POC, and technical win

Using efficient discovery to quickly understand billing challenges, product launch timelines, and technical requirements

Bringing energy and urgency to every engagement—proactively driving deals forward, identifying blockers early, and building relationships across the customer organization (engineering, finance, product) to create champions

Running streamlined demos tailored to technical founders and product/engineering teams

Driving hands-on implementation

Providing customers with clear, actionable implementation plans to implement their usage-based billing launches

Writing code snippets, configuration examples, and integration guides to accelerate customer time-to-value

Pair programming or working alongside customer teams during POCs and initial setup

Designing up/downstream integrations into prospect systems with a bias toward pragmatic solutions that get them live quickly

Building deep AI market expertise

Building relationships with technical founders, engineering leaders, product, and finance teams at AI companies

Understanding the unique monetization challenges facing LLM providers, generative AI companies (image, video, audio), and AI tooling/wrapper companies and providing consultative guidance when prospects need direction on pricing and packaging strategy and implementation
