Your Tasks

  • Own time-to-value for prospective customers: from first technical discovery through trials to successful onboarding, make sure scientists see real value as fast as possible
  • Lead technical discovery: get deep on each customer's science, instruments, and workflows so our solution maps to what they actually need
  • Design and run trials and proof-of-value engagements on customers' own data and problems
  • Run workshops and hands-on sessions that turn evaluators into confident, successful users
  • Build and expand a network to scout and originate new opportunities in sync with a scaling product and with that a growing target audience
  • Be the credible scientific-technical voice within the sales motion, translating fluently between researchers, engineers, and commercial stakeholders
  • Feed field insight back into product and science, sharpening both what we build and how we position it
  • Travel to customer sites and laboratories to do this work where the science happens
  • Use AI and coding to build the demos, scripts, and tooling that shorten every trial

Your Skills

  • 5+ years in business development, sales/solutions engineering, or a comparable customer-facing technical role
  • Strong domain expertise in materials science and/or structural biology
  • Strong, fast coding ability: you build tooling, scripts, and demos quickly and cleanly
  • A deep drive to understand customers' science and problems better than they expect you to
  • Communication that works with everyone, from bench scientists to executives
  • Comfort using AI tools in your work
  • Excellent English, and willingness to travel internationally up to ~50%

Bonus – we'd love it if you also bring:

  • PhD in a scientific domain (structural biology, materials science, crystallography, electron microscopy) or experience selling scientific software
  • Experience having applied AI in a scientific or product context
  • Experience running trials, proofs-of-concept, or technical onboarding
