Remote | Sales Engineer — $95–$145/hour

We are sharing a specialised consulting opportunity for experienced sales engineers with strong expertise in technical discovery, solution design, product demonstrations, proof-of-concept development, and complex B2B software sales.

This role supports an advanced AI research initiative focused on evaluating how effectively AI systems perform realistic technical sales and pre-sales work.

Scoring & Written Assessment

• Score AI-generated and human work samples against established criteria
• Provide detailed written justification for evaluation decisions
• Explain why technical work would or would not resonate with technical and business stakeholders
• Apply consistent, evidence-based judgment across assignments
• Incorporate reviewer feedback and refine evaluations where required
