You can build POCs and tools that real users run. • Hands-on experience with modern cloud platforms. Comfortable with containerization and orchestration, for example Docker and Kubernetes, and with secure network design for API-driven systems. • Proven ownership of complex post-sales work such as production deployments, migrations, performance tuning, and incident response. • Clear written and verbal communication across both technical and executive audiences. • Experience with speech recognition, TTS, or building voice agents that orchestrate LLMs. • Familiarity with WER analysis, model selection and tuning, and accuracy-versus-latency tradeoffs. • Experience operating self-hosted systems, including Helm-based deployments and observability for production services. • Strong understanding of authentication, authorization, data residency, and compliance topics that appear in APAC enterprise reviews. • Fluency in one additional Asian language such as Japanese, Korean, Mandarin, or Hindi. • Remote across APAC with periodic regional meetups. • Collaboration with colleagues in EMEA and the Americas to support continuous coverage.
Responsibilities
• Note: this role is based out of the APAC territory. • Lead architecture and implementation for enterprise deployments that use Deepgram speech-to-text (STT), text-to-speech (TTS), and voice agent (VA) capabilities. • Own post-sales technical success for assigned accounts. Unblock integrations, optimize accuracy and latency, and guide customers to stable production. • Serve as the Tier-3 escalation point for complex issues. Drive root cause analysis, propose mitigations, and write durable fixes or automation when possible. • Design reference architectures and implementation patterns for common APAC customer use cases including contact centers, voice analytics, QA, and AI agents. • Build high-quality samples, internal tools, or scripts that make repeatable tasks easier for customers and for our team. • Contribute to pre-sales discovery and POCs when deep technical direction is needed. Translate business goals to a concrete plan with clear success criteria. • Partner with Product and Engineering to prioritize fixes and features. Bring crisp customer signals that improve our roadmap. • Contribute to knowledge systems. Capture runbooks, playbooks, and docs that scale your expertise across regions and languages. • Participate in an on-call or incident rotation appropriate for the region and customer support tier. Help us meet or outperform regional SLAs. • Regional Expectations • Based in an APAC time zone with reliable overlap to customer business hours across East Asia, Southeast Asia, and ANZ. • Excellent written and spoken English. Additional Asian languages are a strong plus, especially Japanese, Korean, Mandarin, or Hindi. • Familiarity with data privacy and enterprise security reviews common across APAC, for example Singapore PDPA, Japan APPI, Korea PIPA, Australia’s Privacy Act, and India’s DPDP Act. • Ability to travel within the region for critical customer milestones, estimated 10 to 20 percent. • Your First 90 Days • Ramp on Deepgram’s platform, APIs, SDKs, self-hosted deployments, and support practices. Shadow calls across pre-sales, post-sales, and support. Begin owning low-risk technical tasks for an active account and contribute improvements to runbooks or sample code relevant to APAC environments. • Own 2-3 customer workstreams end to end. Lead discovery for one new implementation or migration. Publish one reusable asset such as a deployment guide, Helm example, or troubleshooting playbook with APAC nuances like regional cloud endpoints and data residency. • Act as primary technical owner for several APAC accounts in production. Close at least one complex investigation with measurable customer impact. Present a short readout on a repeated regional pattern and the automation or content you created to solve it. • Enjoy solving hard customer problems at the code, container, and cloud layers. • Like translating real-world constraints into clear architectures and plans. • Are comfortable writing and reading production-grade code, not just sample snippets. • Value crisp documentation, reproducible runbooks, and operational excellence. • Care about delivering outcomes, not just closing tickets.
