About the Role
As a Senior Forward Deployed Engineer for Key Accounts, you are the embedded technical owner for a portfolio of Aircall's highest-value global customers. You will build a long-term agentic roadmap alongside the Key Account Manager, landing initial high-impact use cases and systematically expanding the footprint until Aircall's AI Agents are woven through the customer's core workflows. This is a high-autonomy role where you set the technical strategy, act as the connective tissue between the customer, KAM, Product, and Engineering, and are trusted with customer leadership.
Responsibilities
- Own a sustained, embedded relationship with each account as the customer's go-to technical authority on agentic AI.
- Partner directly with the Key Account Manager on a joint account plan, owning the agentic use-case roadmap and technical execution.
- Deploy an initial high-value workflow, instrument the outcome, and use proven value to open the next use case and buying center.
- Run an evergreen use-case discovery cadence to continuously surface, qualify, and prioritize new automation opportunities.
- Serve as the customer's trusted advisor on agentic strategy, mapping their AI roadmap 6-12 months out.
- Lead discovery and solution-design sessions with customer stakeholders to map business processes, identify automation opportunities, and define solution architecture.
- Design, build, and deploy integrations using low/no-code platforms and CRM automation tools with API connectors.
- Configure and optimize the AI Agent, defining intents, prompts, actions, guardrails, and performance metrics.
- Manage complex, cross-functional deployments, defining timelines, aligning stakeholders, and ensuring accountability.
- Collaborate with Engineering to validate technical feasibility, resolve blockers, and feed field learnings back into the product.
- Create scalable models and reusable frameworks (templates, playbooks, reference architectures) for expansion.
- Champion continuous learning and enablement by mentoring FDEs, running internal workshops, and documenting best practices.
- Collaborate with GTM leadership to embed routines and cadences that drive accountability for expansion pipeline, forecast accuracy, and performance tracking.
- Contribute to expansion pipeline and MRR within your portfolio, jointly with the KAM.
- Shape the AI Agent roadmap with Product and PMM, based on customer needs, integration insights, and field learnings.
- Drive internal and external product education, including enablement for System Integrators (SIs) and channel partners.
- Maintain deep awareness of AI and CX industry trends to ensure Aircall's positioning stays competitive.
Requirements
- 6+ years in technical consulting, solutions engineering, forward-deployed engineering, or integration-focused professional services, ideally with time owning strategic or enterprise accounts.
- Proven ability to own a long-term customer relationship as the technical authority, operating with autonomy and credibility in front of senior (VP / CxO) stakeholders.
- Strong command of APIs, webhooks, and data structures (JSON, REST, GraphQL) to design and troubleshoot integrations confidently.
- Hands-on experience with low-code orchestration tools (Zapier, Make, n8n, Workato) and CRM automation (HubSpot, Salesforce).
- Proficiency in scripting (JavaScript and/or Python) to build, customize, and debug integrations.
- Proven experience running account-based motions in partnership with sales / account management on strategic or enterprise customers.
- Practical understanding of AI workflow configuration, including prompt engineering, evaluation, and monitoring.
- Proven ability to lead complex, cross-functional programs with Engineering, Product, and Customer Success to deliver scalable outcomes.
