Deepgram is seeking a talented, support-focused Solutions Architect (Applied Engineer) to join our Applied Engineering (AppEng) team. In this role, you will directly engage with customers to solve complex technical challenges while simultaneously building scalable solutions that enhance our support infrastructure. You'll own complete customer engagements in a post-sales capacity, and occasionally assist with pre-sales and implementation projects as needed. Your strong engineering background will enable you to resolve sophisticated technical issues, create repeatable solutions, and develop automation that allows the broader AppEng team to focus on high-impact pre-sales activities. This position offers an excellent path to grow into broader implementation and pre-sales roles while making an immediate impact on our customer support experience. As a key member of the Applied Engineering team, you'll influence our customer support strategy, and play a crucial role in ensuring our customers receive exceptional technical assistance throughout their journey with Deepgram.

The Applied Engineering (AppEng) team at Deepgram combines the functions that other companies might separate into Solutions Engineering, Sales Engineering, Implementation, and Technical Support. We serve as the technical interface between Deepgram and our customers throughout their entire journey, from initial discovery and proof-of-concept, through implementation and onboarding, to ongoing technical support. We work closely with our Customer Success and Developer Experience (DX) teams to ensure a positive, growth-focused experience for our customers. This unified approach allows us to provide comprehensive technical guidance and build deeper relationships with our customers. As a support-focused Applied Engineer, you'll be primarily concerned with elevating our technical support capabilities while having opportunities to contribute to the broader Applied Engineering mission in pre-sales, implementation, and more.

What You'll Do

• Own complete post-sales customer engagements, providing direct technical guidance and solutions
• Lead the technical resolution of complex customer support issues, serving as an escalation point for challenging technical problems
• Design and implement systematic improvements to our support process and infrastructure
• Create automated solutions and self-service tools that address common customer challenges
• Analyze support ticket patterns to identify product improvement opportunities and preventative measures
• Develop technical documentation, guides, and best practices that enable customers to self-solve issues
