About the role
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, and Brex 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. ROLE OVERVIEW This is our founding Solutions Engineer: the first technical seller at Serval and the person who defines what world-class solutions engineering looks like here. You'll own the technical side of the pre-sales cycle for prospective customers, sitting across the table from sophisticated IT and security buyers who test every claim we make. Your job is to earn their trust, prove the platform, and win the technical decision. Because you're first, you're not inheriting a playbook, you're writing it: partnering directly with our GTM leaders and account executives, shaping how we demo and run technical evaluations, and building the technical foundation the next ten SEs will use.
WHO YOU ARE A builder at heart, able to scope what matters, stand up a demo or proof-of-value yourself, and ship it. Deeply technical and credible, the kind of person who earns the respect of CIOs, Heads of IT, and security leaders in the first meeting. A trusted advisor by instinct, who listens for the real problem and proves value in the sales cycle rather than pitching features. Living on the AI frontier, fluent in how agents and LLM-powered systems get deployed and governed inside the enterprise. Comfortable in ambiguity, owning your work end-to-end, and moving without waiting to be told what to build next.
