The Opportunity

AI is changing how people search and how businesses are discovered. Gist GEO is building the platform that helps brands understand and improve their visibility inside AI-generated answers. It’s a new category, and we’re moving fast.

We're looking for a Solutions Engineer who knows the product inside and out. Someone who can sit alongside Sales in a client meeting, run admin reports, spot the difference between a meaningful AI visibility insight and a misleading one, and explain it clearly to anyone in the room.

We move fast and adjust often. We put the customer first. We own our work and fill gaps without being asked. If that’s how you operate, read on.

What You’ll Do

Know the product better than anyone

Become the definitive product expert on the team. No one demos Gist GEO better than you.

Combine deep technical knowledge of how the platform works with sharp business acumen. Understand a prospect’s goals, not just their tech stack, and find the use cases that actually matter to them.

Stay close to product updates and bring what you hear in the field back to the team. Your insights shape what we build next.

Own the technical side of every deal

Work alongside account executives to qualify opportunities, lead discovery, and run demos tailored to each client’s situation.

Lead proof of concepts, handle objections, navigate security reviews, and field API and integration questions.

Guide prospects through why GEO matters, and back it up with platform data.

Own the customer relationship

Provide white-glove onboarding. Help customers get set up from day one.

Run admin reports for clients, interpret the data, and walk stakeholders through what the numbers mean and what to do next.

Check in on customers regularly, especially new ones, to make sure they’re getting value and staying engaged.

Stay close to customers after the deal closes. You’re not handing off, you’re following through.

Bring prospect and customer feedback back to Sales and Product - what’s resonating, what isn’t, and what it means for how we position and sell.

Show up for the team

Contribute to internal training, webinars, and events.

What You Bring

Required

Experience in GEO, AI search, and SEO strongly desired.

3-5 years in solutions engineering, technical pre-sales, or sales engineering at a SaaS company.

Comfort running enterprise deal cycles, multi-threaded stakeholders, complex timelines.

Technically fluent: you understand APIs, integrations, and data workflows.

Ability to read platform data, identify what’s meaningful, and explain it clearly to executives and operators alike.

Strong communicator who adjusts to the room.

Nice to Have

Familiarity with digital marketing PPC, content strategy, or consumer behavior.

Experience in an early-stage or fast-moving SaaS environment.

What’s in It for You

Competitive base salary + commission

Equity

Health benefits

Learning and conference budget

Ground-floor opportunity in a new category

What We Offer

Opportunity to work at the forefront of AI technology

Collaborative and innovative work environment

Competitive salary and benefits package
