We are seeking experienced **Sales Engineering and Solutions Engineering professionals** to contribute to a research initiative focused on evaluating how effectively advanced AI systems perform real-world technical sales and pre-sales work.

In this role, you will bring your professional expertise to define what excellent technical sales work looks like. Rather than simply producing deliverables, you will develop task-specific evaluation criteria, assess AI-generated and human work samples, and provide rigorous written reasoning behind your assessments.

-   Evaluate AI-generated and human-produced work against defined criteria and provide detailed written justifications for each assessment.
-   Assess whether technical recommendations accurately address customer requirements and business objectives.
-   Evaluate the quality of technical discovery, solution design, product positioning, and objection handling.
-   Apply consistent, evidence-based judgment to ensure evaluation results are reproducible and defensible.
-   Identify gaps, inaccuracies, unclear assumptions, and technical risks in proposed solutions.
-   Incorporate structured feedback from senior reviewers and continuously refine evaluation standards.
