Sample interview questionsHow would you approach a technical discovery session with a MENA enterprise evaluating Deepgram for Arabic speech-to-text?I would first identify the business workflow, target Arabic dialects, audio sources, required accuracy and latency, expected volume, security requirements, and deployment preferences. I would then map those needs to Deepgram capabilities, clarify integration points such as APIs, WebSockets, telephony, or existing cloud services, and define measurable success criteria for an evaluation. The output would be a scoped proof-of-concept plan with owners, risks, timeline, and production-readiness requirements.

Describe how you would lead a customer implementation from design through production cutover.

I would begin with an architecture review covering data flow, authentication, observability, scalability, failure handling, and data residency. I would break the work into phased milestones, validate the integration in a controlled environment, and use documented acceptance criteria before progressing to production. During cutover, I would coordinate stakeholders, monitor technical and business metrics, maintain a rollback plan, and capture lessons learned as a reusable deployment playbook.

What factors would you evaluate when assessing Arabic Voice AI performance across dialects?

I would evaluate representative audio samples across relevant dialects, accents, domains, audio quality levels, speaking rates, and code-switching scenarios. Key measures would include transcription error patterns, latency, endpointing behavior, punctuation or formatting quality, and downstream task impact rather than relying only on aggregate accuracy. I would share structured findings with Product and Research teams, including reproducible examples, customer impact, and priority recommendations.

How do you explain a complex AI integration risk to both an executive sponsor and an engineering team?

For executives, I would frame the risk in terms of customer experience, compliance, timeline, cost, and the decision required. For engineers, I would provide the technical cause, affected components, evidence, mitigation options, implementation effort, and validation method. In both cases, I would be transparent about uncertainty and recommend a clear next action.

How would you create reusable value from an implementation that required a custom solution?

After delivery, I would identify which parts of the solution are broadly applicable, such as integration patterns, architecture decisions, security controls, sample code, monitoring dashboards, or evaluation templates. I would convert these into documented reference architectures and automation where practical, validate them with the Applied Engineering team, and make them easy for customers and internal teams to adopt. This reduces future implementation time while preserving flexibility for customer-specific constraints.

## Company Overview

Deepgram is the leading platform underpinning the emerging trillion-dollar Voice AI economy, providing real-time APIs for speech-to-text (STT), text-to-speech (TTS), and building production-grade voice agents at scale. More than 200,000 developers and 1,300+ organizations build voice offerings that are ‘Powered by Deepgram’, including Twilio, Cloudflare, Sierra, Decagon, Vapi, Daily, Cresta, Granola, and Jack in the Box. Deepgram’s voice-native foundation models are accessed through cloud APIs or as self-hosted and on-premises software, with unmatched accuracy, low latency, and cost efficiency. Backed by a recent Series C led by leading global investors and strategic partners, Deepgram has processed over 50,000 years of audio and transcribed more than 1 trillion words. There is no organization in the world that understands voice better than Deepgram.

## Company Operating Rhythm

At Deepgram, we expect an AI-first mindset—AI use and comfort aren’t optional, they’re core to how we operate, innovate, and measure performance.

Every team member who works at Deepgram is expected to actively use and experiment with advanced AI tools, and even build your own into your everyday work. We measure how effectively AI is applied to deliver results, and consistent, creative use of the latest AI capabilities is key to success here. Candidates should be comfortable adopting new models and modes quickly, integrating AI into their workflows, and continuously pushing the boundaries of what these technologies can do.

Additionally, we move at the pace of AI. Change is rapid, and you can expect your day-to-day work to evolve just as quickly. This may not be the right role if you’re not excited to experiment, adapt, think on your feet, and learn constantly, or if you’re seeking something highly prescriptive with a traditional 9-to-5.

## The Opportunity

Deepgram is investing in Arabic-language capabilities, and the customers who are building on them deserve a technical partner who speaks the language and knows the region firsthand. We are hiring an Applied Engineer to be that partner: the first member of our Applied Engineering team who is dedicated to Arabic-speaking markets. We would love for you to be based in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA), and the search is open across the broader EMEA region.

You’ll operate in the Solutions Architect role, leading the technical design and delivery of customer implementations across MENA, from kickoff through production cutover. Because you’ll be the first dedicated technical presence in the region, you’ll also take a strong share of pre-sales work, including the technical discovery, proof-of-concepts, and evaluations that earn the technical win for regional prospects. You’ll represent Deepgram in front of customers and at regional events, and you’ll bring what you learn back to our Product and Research teams, including how our Arabic models perform across dialects in production.

The region’s time zones overlap fully with EMEA business hours, so you’ll work alongside our EMEA Applied Engineers every day, and you’ll help to extend coverage toward APAC hours as the team grows.

## About the Solutions Architect Role at Deepgram

Solutions Architects at Deepgram own the periods when a customer’s environment is changing (a new onboarding, a scaling deployment, a migration, a feature rollout). The work is hands-on and technical. You’ll design solutions that fit each customer’s stack and constraints, drive the deployment work itself, and turn what each engagement teaches you into reusable patterns that compress how long it takes the next customer to reach value. In this seat, the motion extends into pre-sales. For many regional prospects, you’ll be the first Deepgram engineer that they meet, and the same skills that make implementations succeed (listening well, designing to constraints, showing working software) also win evaluations.

You’ll be hired into the Applied Engineer position on our Applied Engineering team, which combines what other companies split into Sales Engineering, Solutions Architecture, Implementation, Forward-Deployed Engineering, and Technical Support, with a single growth ladder from Associate through Principal. The region is your focus; Applied Engineering is where you grow.
