About Streamhub
Streamhub is a global analytics platform powering total audience measurement, planning and targeting for TV, audio and streaming services. Our mission: make video data actionable and accessible across the entire media ecosystem. We work with broadcasters, streaming platforms and advertising agencies across multiple countries, combining advanced analytics, AI-driven insights and scalable engineering to solve complex problems across the media and advertising value chain.
We are growing our team in Tokyo and Bangalore offices and looking for those wanting to work in a B2B tech start-up environment.
The Opportunity
This is not a conventional pre-sales role. As Senior Sales Engineer you sit at the intersection of three things that matter deeply to us: the customer, the product, and the technology. You are the person customers turn to when they want to understand how things work and what is genuinely possible — and the person our product and engineering teams turn to when they need real-world signals on where to invest next.
Concretely, that means two things. First, you will engage customers at various technical levels — supporting the day-to-day accounts, running innovation sessions, managing complex requirements, and designing solutions that push the boundaries of our platform. Second, you will lead the requirements of AI-powered workflows for sales and marketing processes: identifying where AI can unlock value in our customers' data pipelines and internal processes, building those workflows, and feeding what you learn directly back into Streamhub's AI product roadmap.
You will report to the Country Manager, but working closely with the engineering teams, acting as the trusted technical authority for clients and opportunities across Japan and Asia Pacific.
What You Will Do
Customer Innovation & Technical Discovery
- Lead technical discussion sessions to manage customer requirements that go beyond surface-level feature requests.
- Run innovation workshops with clients, demonstrating what AI and Streamhub products can unlock for their measurement and analytics challenges.
- Serve as the primary technical advisor for customers in Japan and APAC — the person they call when they need to think through hard problems.
- Translate nuanced technical and data requirements into precise, actionable briefs for product and engineering, ensuring nothing is lost in translation.
- Build lasting technical relationships that create trust, reduce churn, and open doors to expanded partnership.
AI Workflow Design & Engineering
- Design and implement AI-powered workflows across customer data pipelines, measurement processes and internal delivery workflows — not just recommend them, but build them.
- Identify where large language models, automation and AI tooling can accelerate data integration, quality checking, anomaly detection and insight generation.
- Monitor and manage customer data pipelines built on Airflow, Kubernetes and AWS/GCP.
- Evaluate emerging AI tools and determine where they create genuine leverage for our customers or our team.
Product Development Contribution
- Act as a structured feedback channel between customers and the product team — turning field observations into well-reasoned product proposals.
- Contribute directly to product direction by synthesising insights from across the customer base into patterns that inform prioritisation decisions.
- Stay ahead of industry trends in audience measurement, AdTech and AI so that Streamhub's roadmap reflects where the market is heading.
- Collaborate across engineering and product teams in London and Bangalore, ensuring consistent delivery standards and knowledge transfer.
Sales Engineering & Proposals
- Partner with the sales team on complex enterprise deals: lead technical discussions, design proof-of-concepts and produce compelling RFP responses.
- Demonstrate Streamhub's platform to technical and business audiences, adapting depth and framing to the room.
- Develop technical proposals that clearly articulate Streamhub's value proposition relative to customer objectives.
- Share technical knowledge and raise the bar for how Streamhub engages with customers technically.
What We Are Looking For
Must-Have
- Customer-facing depth: 5+ years in a B2B technology company in a role that required strong technical engagement with enterprise customers — Sales Engineer, Solutions Architect, Technical Product Manager or similar.

- Media industry knowledge: At least 3 years of relevant experience in audience measurement, research, advertising, or analytics/data systems.
- AI in practice: Demonstrated experience applying AI tools — not just using them, but designing workflows or solutions around them — as part of day-to-day delivery.
- Communication: Native-level Japanese and advanced/fluent English.

Nice to Have
