What are we looking for

real solver?

Solver? Absolutely. But not the usual kind. We're searching for the architects of the audacious & the pioneers of the possible. If you're the type to dismantle assumptions, re-engineer ‘best practices,’ and build solutions that make the future possible NOW, then you're speaking our language.

• Improver. Solver. Futurist.
• Great sense of humor.
• ‘Possible. It is.’ Mindset.
• Compassionate collaborator. Bold experimenter. Tireless iterator.
• Natural creativity that doesn’t just challenge the norm, but solves to design what’s better.
• Thinks in systems. Solves at scale.

This Isn’t for Everyone. But if you’re the kind who questions why things are done a certain way—and then identifies 3 better ways to do it — we’d love to chat with you.

Your Mission: The Role

solving for better.

Orchestrate alliance-led growth with a founder’s mindset. You’re the DRI for AWS revenue in India - strategizing, selling, and co-engineering solutions that embed SageMaker, Redshift and QuickSight into our futurify.ai & evlos™ frameworks.

• 60 % seller, 40 % technologist: forecast, chase, and close a $20 M+ pipeline while co-designing AI use-cases that deliver ≥ 30 % ROI.
• Direct line of sight to the VP of Alliances and the CEO; success is measured in pipeline velocity, win rate, and partner-driven market share.
• At Searce, leadership is an action, not a title - you code a pilot on Monday, present a QBR on Tuesday, and ink a seven-figure deal by Friday.
