Enterprise restaurant deployments are where voice AI meets the messiness of the real world: legacy systems, high transaction volumes, operational edge cases, and technology that has to work reliably during the busiest moments of the day
In this role, you will embed with leading restaurant brands and technology partners to make those deployments successful. You will learn how their systems work, design the integration path, write code, troubleshoot production issues, and adapt Deepgram’s platform to the constraints of live restaurant operations. You will work directly with customer engineering teams and business leaders, owning the technical path from early discovery through go-live and optimization
Your impact will extend beyond any single customer. You will identify patterns across deployments, translate field learnings into product improvements, and build the tools, reference architectures, and playbooks that help the team deploy faster and more reliably across large restaurant fleets
This role is for an engineer who wants direct ownership of customer outcomes and enjoys turning complex, ambiguous deployments into repeatable systems. The goal is simple: make every Deepgram for Restaurants deployment feel effortless to the customer and deliver measurable value from day one
This role is based in New York City or San Francisco, where many of our customers and partners are located. Being close to them helps us move quickly and stay connected to their needs
This role also includes occasional travel to meet with customers, support sales engagements, and participate in key onsite interactions

Configuration and customization: Adapt and configure Deepgram’s platform to meet each customer’s unique operational requirements — menu structures, ordering flows, POS integrations, edge cases, and everything in between
Production excellence: Monitor, troubleshoot, and resolve technical issues in live deployments. Serve as an escalation point for complex technical issues when necessary
Deployment infrastructure leadership: Codify patterns into tools, playbooks, reference architectures, and building blocks the broader team can use for other deployments and customers
Feedback loop to product and engineering: Translate real-world deployment challenges into actionable requirements for Deepgram’s product and engineering teams. You are the voice of the customer inside the building
You are hands-on. You write code, read logs, and ship fixes — you don’t just coordinate. When a customer has a technical problem, you roll up your sleeves and solve it
You operate with extreme ownership and urgency. You treat every customer deployment as if your name is on the product
You partner closely with Sales, Product, and Engineering, but you are just as comfortable on a customer’s Slack channel walking their team through an API integration
Technical depth: You are an excellent software engineer. You are comfortable working across APIs, SDKs, webhooks, cloud infrastructure, and customer tech stacks. You use AI coding tools to move fast and multiply your output
Customer obsession: Deep, personal commitment to your customers’ technical success. You take their problems home with you. You are not satisfied until the deployment is bulletproof
High slope: Learns fast, adapts quickly, and stays effective in ambiguity without needing constant structure. You figure things out and move forward. You are excited to get your hands dirty solving gritty technical problems over sexy ones
Communication and trust: Able to build deep credibility with both technical and non-technical stakeholders on the customer side. You are calm under pressure and relentlessly reliable
