COMPANY OPERATING RHYTHM At Deepgram, we expect an AI-first mindset—AI use and comfort aren’t optional, they’re core to how we operate, innovate, and measure performance.
Every team member who works at Deepgram is expected to actively use and experiment with advanced AI tools, and even build your own into your everyday work.
We measure how effectively AI is applied to deliver results, and consistent, creative use of the latest AI capabilities is key to success here.
Candidates should be comfortable adopting new models and modes quickly, integrating AI into their workflows, and continuously pushing the boundaries of what these technologies can do.
Additionally, we move at the pace of AI.
We’re not here just to “manage accounts”; we make Deepgram successful in our partners’ environments by combining technical expertise with commercial impact and an AI-native mindset.
You have a strong technical foundation and are comfortable running demos, guiding architecture discussions, and helping partners integrate AI-driven solutions into their workflows.
experience to help partners realize value from day one and scale it over time.
Moreover, AI is how you work, not a tool you reach for occasionally.
You've rebuilt a meaningful part of your workflow around it, and going back to the pre-AI way of doing things would feel like working with one hand tied behind your back. You'd refuse to.
- Maintain a deep understanding of Deepgram APIs, integrations, and AI/ML technologies.
- Serve as the voice of the partner internally, influencing product roadmap, GTM strategy, and the internal tools and processes we build to support partners and customers.
Your output is measured not just by the partners you serve, but by the leverage you create for the entire partner ecosystem. - Operate AI-first by default.
Every repeatable part of your job, partner research, technical enablement prep, integration diagnostics, follow-ups, QBR analysis, should run through AI workflows you've designed.
- Have high EQ and high learning index, you read the room, adapt your style, and quickly absorb technical and business complexity.
- Have a high degree of integrity and can work both collaboratively and independently in a remote WFH environment.
Just because we do things a certain way, doesn’t mean it’s the best way! - Would be genuinely uncomfortable going back to a pre-AI workflow.

- A strong sense of ownership and stewardship for your customers, and a keen focus on developing a strong personal brand.
- A strong understanding of partner ecosystems, channel business models (resale, referral, integrations, co-marketing, co-selling), and multi-party commercial dynamics.
You can point to specific workflows that structurally depend on AI and describe how you'd rebuild them if the tools you rely on disappeared tomorrow.
Experience working in AI, machine learning, voice AI, cloud infrastructure, or developer-first technologies. - Working fluency with automation, scripting, or agent-building (Python, TypeScript, workflow tools, agent frameworks, or equivalent).
You don't need to be a software engineer, but you need to be dangerous enough to ship working systems. - Familiarity with channel/partner marketing, enablement programs, or technical enablement asset creation.
This job description incorporates the strategic focus, cross-functional partnership, and data-driven approach that define Deepgram’s go-to-market and customer-centric roles.
