Value Engineer

TL;

DR

We're hiring a Value Engineer to guide enterprise customers from first conversation to long-term success. You’ll help Sales win the right deals, design solutions that work in the real world, ensure customers reach value quickly and spot opportunities to grow the relationship. This role is a prescriptive, opinionated authority on which AI use cases make both business & technical sense by developing an account thesis and tying back to outcomes.

At deepset you’ll work on AI that actually runs in production powering real systems used by enterprises, governments and highly regulated organisations. We operate at the sharp end of applied AI solving hard problems around retrieval-augmented generation performance, security & privacy and on‑premise and sovereign deployments where reliability and trust truly matter.

Open source is at our core as the team behind Haystack while we also build enterprise‑grade products for some of the most demanding customers in the world. We value craft ownership and outcomes over hype: small highly‑competent teams with real autonomy, direct access to decision‑makers and the opportunity to shape both product direction and how we work.

We're a values‑led human organisation that believes in challenge and care in equal measure and we support flexible remote‑friendly ways of working with a globally minded team that comes together regularly to build, learn and move fast together.
