What this job asks for AI summary
A customer-facing individual contributor role centered on the technical lifecycle of an MCP connector product — covering pre-sales discovery, tailored demos, proof-of-concept environments, client onboarding, and ongoing integration health. The position spans both pre- and post-sales work alongside account teams, and also involves building out the processes, runbooks, and reusable assets the function needs to scale. Best suited to a technical generalist with a background in solutions engineering or implementation who has hands-on experience with LLMs, APIs, and agent-tool protocols such as MCP.

Why we read it this way (7)
This role is a pre- and post-sales Solutions Architect / Sales Engineer — a customer-facing technical generalist — rather than a pure software developer or systems analyst. No single SOC code fits cleanly; 15-1299 (Computer Occupations, All Other) is used as the best available catch-all, with 15-1211 as a runner-up given the systems-analysis and integration-scoping work.
Compensation is stated as '$155,000 base + Commission'; the commission component is unquantified and not captured in the comp fields.
The role is hybrid with a minimum of 2 days on-site in Boston; it is not fully remote.
The 5–8 year experience range covers pre- and/or post-sales technical roles broadly (sales engineering, solutions architecture, technical account management, implementation); the overall years minimum is set to 5.
LLMs, MCP, Claude, REST, OAuth, and webhooks are all listed under the 'What You'll Bring' requirements section and are treated as hard gates.
Claude Agent SDK and building/customizing MCP servers appear under 'Nice to Have' and are marked preferred.
Cybersecurity background and experience with DaaS/data-platform products also appear under 'Nice to Have' but name no specific concrete technology, so they are omitted per the no-generic-concepts rule.
