About the Team

The Technical Success team is responsible for ensuring the safe and effective deployment of ChatGPT and OpenAI API applications for developers and enterprises. We act as a trusted advisor and thought partner for our customers, ensuring developers and enterprises maximize value from our models and products. As a Solutions Engineer, you’ll help companies across industries transform their business through solutions such as customer service, automated content generation, and novel applications that make use of our newest, most exciting models.

About the Role

We are seeking an experienced pre-sales solutions engineer to partner with our Large Enterprise customers and ensure they achieve tangible business value from our models through ChatGPT and the OpenAI API. You will partner with senior business stakeholders to understand their pre-sales needs, guide their AI strategy, and identify the highest value use cases and applications. You will work with business and technical teams to demonstrate the value of our solutions and recommend architectural patterns to kickstart their implementation and development. You will work closely with Sales, Customer Success, Security, and Product teams.


This role is based in our Munich office. We use a hybrid work model of 3 days in the office per week and offer relocation assistance to new employees.

In this role, you will:

  • Deliver an exceptional pre-sales customer experience for prospects and customers by providing technical expertise, outlining the value proposition, and answering product, API, and LLM-related questions.

  • Demonstrate how leveraging ChatGPT and the OpenAI API can meet customers’ business needs and deliver substantial business value, including, but not limited to, building and presenting demos, scoping use cases, recommending architecture patterns, and providing in-depth technical advisory.

  • Create and maintain documentation, guides, and FAQs related to common questions and requirements discovered during the pre-sales process.

  • Foster customer advocacy and represent the voice of the customer with internal teams by gathering and relaying customer feedback, identifying themes across customers, and incorporating them into product planning.

  • Serve as the first line of defense for security and compliance questions, explaining standardized collateral, guiding customers toward relevant resources (e.g., trust portal), and escalating complex requirements to the appropriate teams.

You’ll thrive in this role if you:

  • Have 5+ years of experience in a technical pre-sales role, managing C-level technical and business relationships with complex global organizations.

  • Have full professional fluency in both German and English.

  • Demonstrate a thorough understanding of IT security principles and customer requirements for technical B2B SaaS products, with experience providing higher-level security and compliance support.

  • Have industry experience in programming languages like Python or Javascript and working with REST APIs.

  • Have delivered prototypes of Generative AI/traditional ML solutions and have knowledge of network/cloud architecture.

  • Are an effective presenter and communicator who can translate business and technical topics to all audiences, including senior leaders.

  • Own problems end-to-end and are willing to pick up whatever knowledge you're missing to get the job done.

  • Have a humble attitude, an eagerness to help your colleagues, and a desire to do whatever it takes to make the team succeed.

Where to Advertise AI Jobs in the UK (2026 Guide)

Advertising AI jobs in the UK requires a different approach to most technical hiring. The candidate pool is small, highly informed and in demand across multiple sectors simultaneously. General job boards reach a broad audience but lack the specificity that AI professionals expect — and the filtering mechanisms they rely on. Specialist platforms, direct outreach and academic channels each serve a different part of the market. This guide, published by ArtificialIntelligenceJobs.co.uk, covers where to advertise AI roles in the UK in 2026, how the main platforms compare, what employers should expect to pay, and what the data says about time-to-hire across different role types.

In this article, we explore the new and emerging AI employers to watch in 2026, focusing on organisations that have recently secured funding, won major contracts, or expanded their UK footprint. From cutting-edge startups to global giants doubling down on Britain, these companies represent the next wave of AI career opportunities.

How Many AI Tools Do You Need to Know to Get an AI Job?

If you are job hunting in AI right now it can feel like you are drowning in tools. Every week there is a new framework, a new “must-learn” platform or a new productivity app that everyone on LinkedIn seems to be using. The result is predictable: job seekers panic-learn a long list of tools without actually getting better at delivering outcomes. Here is the truth most hiring managers will quietly agree with. They do not hire you because you know 27 tools. They hire you because you can solve a problem, communicate trade-offs, ship something reliable and improve it with feedback. Tools matter, but only in service of outcomes. So how many AI tools do you actually need to know? For most AI job seekers: fewer than you think. You need a tight core toolkit plus a role-specific layer. Everything else is optional. This guide breaks it down clearly, gives you a simple framework to choose what to learn and shows you how to present your toolset on your CV, portfolio and interviews.
