About the role
- Yext is seeking a technically capable, commercially aware Demo Engineer for a mid-level role based in India.
- The Demo Engineering team supports internal partners such as Revenue, Client Services, Marketing, and Product by creating standard demo environments and visionary solutions.
- This role involves moving from supported delivery to leading workstreams, mentoring Associates, and contributing to team standards.
Responsibilities
- Own and deliver Demo Engineering requests end-to-end, from initial scoping through to final handoff, with minimal supervision.
- Build and customise demo environments that reflect prospect-specific use cases, industry contexts, and the latest Yext platform capabilities.
- Take full ownership of Knowledge Graph data, connector and crawler configurations, and front-end customisation within demo accounts.
- Maintain and iterate on demo environments proactively, keeping them current with product releases, new features, and evolving best-practice configurations.
- Contribute to the development of reusable demo assets and standard builds that raise the baseline quality across the team.
- Independently conduct and interpret Yext Scout Reports, Knowledge Scans, and Analytics outputs to generate prospect-ready insights.
- Assess prospects' digital presence using SEO best practices, identifying optimisation opportunities and translating them into compelling pre-sales narratives.
- Act as a reliable, responsive partner to Solutions Engineers, Account Executives, the RFP team, Client Success, Field Marketing, and Product.
- Contribute meaningfully to scoping calls, bringing a point of view on feasibility, approach, and prioritisation.
- Own your Jira queue with discipline: tickets are accurate, up to date, and progressed without chasing.
Requirements
- At least 2 years of experience in a demo engineering, solutions engineering, pre-sales delivery, or client-facing technical role — or equivalent experience executing deliverables on behalf of a global sales or solutions team.
- A degree or equivalent practical experience in Technology, Computer Science, Engineering, Marketing, or a related field.
- Solid working knowledge of HTML and CSS, with the ability to make confident front-end customisations in a demo context.
- Familiarity with using AI tools (LLMs, agents) to accelerate and enhance demo build and customisation tasks.
- A strong understanding of SEO best practices and digital presence concepts, with the ability to apply them in a pre-sales context.
- Clear, credible communication skills — you can present ideas confidently to internal stakeholders and hold your own in scoping conversations.
- A self-starting mindset: you manage your workload, hit your deadlines, and don't wait to be told what to do next.
- The ability to balance multiple concurrent deliverables across different stakeholder groups without dropping quality.
Preferred qualifications
- Direct experience with the Yext platform, or a comparable brand visibility, listings management, or AI search platform
- Working knowledge of JavaScript or broader front-end development concepts
- Experience contributing to RFP responses, pre-sales collateral, or similar revenue-enabling deliverables
- Exposure to enterprise SaaS sales cycles and an understanding of how demo assets support different stages of the process
- Experience mentoring or supporting junior colleagues in a technical or delivery context.
