They are used to power the largest consumer-facing AI applications available, across categories like health, fitness, learning, therapy, companions, customer experience and media; representing 100s of millions of end users. Our work spans areas like research and development of state-of-the-art models, optimizing realtime inference, and creating best-in-class APIs and products that allow developers to engage their users. We’ve raised more than $125M from Lightspeed, Section 32, Kleiner Perkins, Microsoft’s M12 venture fund, Founders Fund, Meta and Stanford, among others.

Your Impact We're looking for a Founding AI Solutions Engineer who will sit at the intersection of sales, product, and engineering — and become the technical backbone of our revenue team. You'll work directly with the senior leadership and our GTM team to help enterprise and developer customers go from "this sounds interesting" to "this is in production." You'll run POCs, build prototypes, and translate complex technical questions into clear answers for both engineers and executives. You'll own the technical side of deals pre- and post-signature — ensuring customers are genuinely successful, not just signed. Your work will directly shape how Inworld scales across gaming, CCaaS, media, consumer AI and beyond, and your fingerprints will be on the SE function as we build it.
What You'll Do Partner with GTM Leads on deals — lead technical discovery, run POCs, and own the solution design from first call through close Build working prototypes and reference integrations that demonstrate Inworld's TTS, STT, LLM Router, LLM inference, and Realtime API solutions in the customer's actual context — not just a demo environment Serve as the primary technical advisor during onboarding, getting customers from signed contract to production-quality integration Translate customer
