At Loka our teams launch meaningful projects across a wide range of industries. In the last year we helped advance the world’s #1 AI reading tutor, transform rundown homes into green machines and accelerate novel drug discovery to fight leukemia. And we did it all while working 100% remotely and enjoying every other Friday off 😎
We’re seeking a software engineer or cloud account manager who aims to transition into an Associate Sales Lead role. Someone who loves the rush of helping businesses succeed by advising the most appropriate technical solutions and derives genuine joy from diagnosing cloud architecture challenges. Your engineering and/or cloud account management experience is more important than your sales record: The former builds the kind of knowledge you’ll need to hit the ground running; the latter you’ll earn along the way.
As an inaugural AWS Generative AI Partner, we offer a unique platform to leverage your expertise and contribute to our innovative projects. A strong drive to close deals and a competitive spirit are essential, but the ability to thrive in a team-driven environment will make you a great fit.
