Sales Engineer
At some point in the future, every business will answer their phone with voice AI. We are building the platform that makes it possible.
Phonely builds conversational voice AI agents for high-volume phone workflows. Our customers use us to qualify leads, book appointments, route calls, and resolve real customer conversations in production. We're growing fast and our deals are getting more technical. We need someone who can bridge the gap between what we sell and how it actually works.
About the Role
We're hiring a Sales Engineer to partner with our sales team on technical discovery, demos, and proof-of-concepts for prospective customers. You'll be the person in the room who can answer the hard questions, build out a demo that maps to the customer's actual call workflows, and make the technology click for technical and non-technical buyers alike.
This role sits at the intersection of sales and engineering. You'll be on calls with prospects understanding their telephony setup, integration requirements, and compliance constraints, then working with our team to scope a solution that wins the deal. You'll also build demo environments, run technical evaluations, and support POCs through to production.
If you like solving puzzles, talking to customers, and making complex technology feel simple, this is your role. There's a natural overlap with our CS and Forward Deployed Engineering teams, so if you're someone who could land in any of those seats, even better.

Why Join Phonely
We are a team of ex-athletes, founders, and builders with low egos and high standards. We take the work seriously without taking ourselves too seriously. On-site in San Francisco, meals covered, quarterly offsites to interesting places (Rocky Mountains, Costa Rica, Indonesia), and meaningful equity in a company that is growing fast. You will work directly with the sales team and founders and have real ownership over how we win technical deals.
