Sales Engineer - EMEA

• Voice AI that resolves, not transfers.
• Most phone systems trap callers in menus and scripts. Vapi is the platform for deploying voice agents that know your business and can listen, adapt, and resolve in minutes.

• The numbers: 1 billion calls. 1 million developers. 10x enterprise ARR growth
• The customers: Amazon Ring, ServiceTitan, New York Life, Intuit, Kavak, and thousands more, from YC startups to the Fortune 500
• The news: a $50M Series B led by Peak XV Partners, with Bessemer Venture Partners, Kleiner Perkins, M12 (Microsoft's Venture Fund), Y Combinator, and our earlier backers. Total raised: $72M

Why We’re Hiring This Role

• Vapi is moving deeper into enterprise customers, where buyers are technical and evaluations depend on clear architecture, credible demos, and working POCs.
• Customers want to understand how Vapi fits into real production workflows like IVR replacement, outbound dialing, agent-assisted support, appointment scheduling etc.
• This is one of our first Solutions Architect hires, with real scope to shape how we sell, demo, document, and bring enterprise customers live.

What You’ll Do

• 30 Day: Learn Vapi’s product, customer use cases, sales motion, and common technical objections. Shadow enterprise calls, understand our voice-agent architecture, and start building fluency across telephony, LLM orchestration, integrations, and contact center workflows.
• 60 Day: Own technical discovery and demos for active enterprise deals. Partner closely with AEs on account strategy, build customer-specific demos, help design POCs, and answer technical questions clearly and honestly.
• 90 Day: Lead the technical side of enterprise deals from first call through close and go-live. Create reusable artifacts for the team, document integratio n patterns and common objections, and feed repeated product gaps back to engineering and product.

Who You Are

• You have 4+ years in a technical customer-facing role, such as pre-sales engineering, solutions architecture, customer engineering, or similar.
• You can write code well enough to build a working integration, read an API response, and debug issues without immediately pulling in an engineer.
• You have experience with voice, telephony, or contact center infrastructure, such as SIP, Twilio, Genesys, Five9, or similar systems.
• You’re comfortable speaking with both engineers and executives, and you adjust the level of detail without dumbing things down.
• You’re energized by technical sales: discovery, architecture, POCs, objection handling, and helping customers get live.

How We Work

• Build something worthy of love - Craft matters. We aim to build products and experiences customers genuinely love, not just tolerate.
• Commit and follow through - We finish what we start and build trust by being people others can count on.
• Why not today? - We value urgency and momentum. The fastest path to customer value usually wins.
• Seek raw input - We go directly to customers, data, and teammates instead of relying on summaries or assumptions.
• It’s our problem - We operate as one team. We share credit, own mistakes together, and support each other when things get hard.
• Be direct and kind - We give feedback clearly, respectfully, and without delay.

Why Vapi

• Generational impact: Build the human interface for every business
• Ownership culture: 70% of the company are previous founders
• Kind team: The founders, Jordan and Nikhil, are Canadians
• Tier-1 Investors: YC, KP seed, Bessemer Series A

What We Offer

• Comprehensive health coverage: medical, dental, and vision plans
• Team love: We love hanging out, and we do quarterly off-sites
• Flexible time off: take what you need
• More: catered meals, transportation, gym, and a $10k annual L&D budget
