About Letter AI
Letter AI is the world’s first revenue enablement platform powered natively by AI. We’re reimagining the end-to-end revenue journey by turning real customer conversations and account data into actionable insights, personalized coaching, meeting prep, and next steps.
Revenue teams aren’t asking for more content or tools. They’re asking for better outcomes. Letter does just that, empowering them to learn faster, sell smarter, and win more.
We recently raised a $40M Series B and are already helping leading companies like Adobe, Lenovo, and Figma transform how their teams work. We 10xed our revenue last year and are looking for the best of the best in Chicago to help us build on that momentum.
The Role
As a Sales Engineer at Letter AI, you will be an artful seller and trusted technical advisor during the most strategic phases of our sales process.

- Partner for Deal Closure: Collaborate closely with Account Executives to qualify technical/strategic requirements and secure "vendor of choice" status before handoff for final negotiations.

- Solid Eye for Design: Impeccable attention to detail when building custom slides, demo environments, and buyer microsites—ensuring polished, visually compelling customer collateral every time.
- Strong AI Fundamentals: Practical understanding of AI concepts, AI integrations, and modern architecture (e.g., understanding agent connections, MCP servers, and generative AI capabilities) without needing to write code.
