About Kernel
Enterprise AI only works when the underlying data is accurate - but most CRMs are filled with duplicates, broken hierarchies, and outdated information that undermine forecasting, territory planning, and AI deployments.
We've raised a $14M Series A from top VCs and operators at Plaid, OpenAI, Slack and others to solve this with Agentic Company Data - the AI-native alternative to Dun & Bradstreet.
RevOps teams at Gong, Navan, Mistral, AlphaSense, and Zip use Kernel to eliminate duplicates, fix hierarchies, and deliver the accuracy they need to operate with confidence. What a RevOps expert can do manually for a single record, Kernel can do safely at scale for an entire CRM. Our platform gives teams confidence in the data foundation that powers enterprise decision-making and AI.
The Role
As a Solutions Engineer, you're the bridge between customer needs and technical execution in enterprise deals. You translate complex requirements into practical, high-impact solutions, ensuring every proof of concept is accurate, scalable and positioned for success.
Working closely with Account Executives, Product and Engineering, you'll navigate technical questions, troubleshoot complex challenges and shape solutions that drive value for our clients. With new features shipping constantly at Kernel, you'll stay ahead of client requirements and the latest market innovation.
What You’ll Be Doing:
Partnering with Account Executives in late-stage cycles as the technical expert
Running and delivering high quality POCs in a timely manner
Leading and owning the full implementation cycle from kick-off to go-live
Architecting, building, and deploying bespoke AI agents using Kernel’s tooling
Acting as a trusted advisor for your portfolio comprised of multiple clients
Provide feedback to the Product team to ensure constant improvement and iteration
What You Bring:
3–5 years of experience in a client-facing analytical or technical role, such as Solutions Engineering, Technical Account Management or Consulting
Strong technical fluency (APIs, Javascript etc) and understanding of data systems
Advanced analytical and problem-solving skills, with close attention to detail
Comfortable navigating ambiguity and solving technical challenges creatively
Experience working in fast-paced, startup environments
Ability to manage multiple clients and projects at once
Strong communication skills and the ability to build trusted customer relationships
Flexibility to occasionally work later hours to support US-based customers
-
Nice to have, but not required:
Experience working with AI products or use cases
Familiarity with RevOps workflows and systems, including CRMs and related tooling
⚠️ This role may not be for you if you:
Prefer a lot of structure or close guidance
Prefer routine over variety
Are looking for a purely internal, non-customer-facing role
❌ This role is definitely not for you if you:
Prefer fully remote work (this role requires 4+ days per week in the London office)
Don’t enjoy intense, fast paced workspace or ambiguity
Want to manage rather than build and deliver
