Job Description

Sales Engineer designing AI/ML architectures and scoping technical engagements for Factored, which helps U.S. companies build data and AI teams with LATAM talent.

Responsibilities:

  • Lead technical discovery calls with prospects, surfacing requirements, constraints, and success criteria across data engineering, ML, data science, analytics, and AI engineering use cases.
  • Design and present ML, AI, and Data Science system architectures live with clients, including RAG, agentic workflows, LLM evaluation pipelines, model serving infrastructure, and end-to-end MLOps.
  • Translate ambiguous business problems into scoped, deliverable engagements by defining solution approaches, identifying risks, sizing effort, and shaping statements of work alongside Account Executives.
  • Serve as the deal-side technical authority, defending architectural choices and challenging suboptimal designs.
  • Build technical proposals, reference architectures, and proof-of-concept plans.
  • Partner with delivery leadership to hand off won deals, ensuring scope, assumptions, and technical context transfer accurately.
  • Develop and maintain reusable solution patterns, demos, and reference implementations.
  • Stay current on the AI/ML landscape and apply that knowledge in client conversations.
  • Provide feedback to product, delivery, and marketing on prospect needs and offering improvements.
  • Represent Factored externally through webinars, technical content, conference conversations, and select customer events.

Requirements:

  • 5+ years of total professional engineering experience, with a clear track record of increasing technical responsibility and scope.
  • 3+ years working hands-on as a Senior Engineer in AI Engineering, Machine Learning Engineering, Data Engineering or an adjacent production-focused role.
  • Demonstrable expertise in machine learning system design: ability to whiteboard end-to-end ML/AI systems live, reason about trade-offs (latency, cost, accuracy, maintainability), and defend choices under technical scrutiny.
  • Deep practical experience with GenAI/LLM systems: RAG architectures, agentic patterns, evaluation frameworks, prompt and context engineering, fine-tuning approaches, and inference infrastructure.
  • Working fluency across the broader data stack: data engineering pipelines (batch and streaming), warehouses/lakehouses, feature stores, and analytics workflows — enough to credibly scope work outside pure AI/ML.
  • Advanced English proficiency, with exceptional written and verbal communication — capable of holding the room with both senior technical stakeholders and executive buyers.
  • Strong client-facing instincts: comfortable presenting, listening for the real problem under the stated one, and converting ambiguity into a concrete plan.
  • Track record of execution in fast-paced, ambiguous environments — owns outcomes end-to-end without needing tight supervision.
  • Structured thinking under time pressure: can decompose a half-formed client problem into a clean architecture in a 60-minute call.

Benefits:

  • Ownership through equity participation.
  • Annual company retreat.
  • Education bonus for continuous learning.
  • Company-wide winter break.
  • Paid time off.
  • Optional in-person events and meetups.
  • Tailored career roadmaps.
  • High-performance culture.
