Role
Who you are
- 3–5 years of experience as a Solutions Engineer, Customer Engineer, or similar technical pre-/post-sales role, ideally for a browser, productivity, or AI product
- Strong technical background: Comfortable with web technologies (HTML/CSS/JS, APIs, browser dev tools), SSO/SCIM, and common enterprise environments
- Proven ability to design and deliver compelling technical demos and proof-of-concepts
- Experience with technical onboarding, integration, and troubleshooting for SaaS or browser-based products
- Experience working with engineers to scope, build, and deploy solutions
- Excellent communication skills: Able to explain complex technical concepts clearly to both technical and business audiences

What the job involves
- Perplexity is looking for a Solutions Engineer to drive enterprise adoption of Comet, our AI-native browser that's reimagining how teams work
- In this role, you'll be the technical expert for Comet, working closely with sales, product, and engineering to help enterprise customers unlock the full potential of AI-augmented browsing at scale
- Your mission is to deeply understand Comet's capabilities, build compelling technical demos, and help customers successfully adopt and integrate Comet into their workflows
- Technical pre-sales & demos: Own technical discovery calls with prospects, build and deliver tailored Comet demos that showcase relevant features, and translate Comet's AI and browser capabilities into clear business and technical value for stakeholders
- Post-sales enablement & support: Lead technical onboarding and integration for Comet including configuration and SSO setup, provide hands-on support for technical issues and debugging, and conduct training sessions while creating technical enablement materials
- Customer feedback & product partnership: Gather and synthesize technical feedback from customers and prospects, act as the voice of the customer in product discussions to shape Comet's roadmap, and maintain deep knowledge of Comet's architecture and AI features
- Tools & enablement: Build and maintain internal tools and automations that make sales and support teams more effective, and contribute to help center content and internal documentation focused on Comet's technical setup and best practices
- Performance tracking: Track key metrics like response times, resolution rates, and customer satisfaction. Use both quantitative and qualitative data to iteratively guide improvements
- Scaling: Ensure that internal systems and teams can scale as our user base grows
Our take
As AI continues to drive changes in both business operations and day-to-day lives, Perplexity AI delivers an intelligent search engine powered by conversational AI, to improve search outcomes and "unlock the power of knowledge" for all.
Reaching impressive heights of 22M monthly visits, Perplexity's "ask anything" method of search is clearly a popular one. And what sets it apart from other search engines is in its answers, which are concise and fully cited, responding to the user query rather than simply providing a place in which they can scroll to find it themselves.
The company has raised substantial funding, with contributions from former execs at companies like OpenAI, Meta, and Quora, demonstrating the interest that it has drummed up in the space. Having doubled its annual recurring revenue between 2023 and 24, this investment will allow Perplexity AI to continue building out its product, and accelerate growth into the future.
