About Hologram
Hologram is building the future of IoT connectivity, delivering internet access to millions of connected devices worldwide. We process over 5 billion transactions per month across our global infrastructure—this isn't just another app, it's the invisible backbone powering everything from fleet tracking to smart city infrastructure. We tackle challenges of scale, reliability, and performance that few companies face.
What Makes a Hologrammer?
We look for people with insatiable curiosity and an uncompromising commitment to excellence. Hologrammers are the type who dig deeper when things break, ask 'why' before 'how,' and aren't satisfied until the solution is bulletproof.
You'll love working here if you:
Value tenacious ownership of outcomes: You don't just answer technical questions—you architect valuable solutions. You dig into prospects' IoT challenges, design deployments that actually work, and clear every technical roadblock between their idea and production.
Crave genuine technical challenges: You want to tackle the hard pre-sales problems: designing cellular connectivity for scale, evaluating embedded hardware, navigating certification mazes, and proving Hologram can handle whatever they throw at it.
Relentlessly pursue growth: IoT moves fast, and so do you. You stay on top of emerging cellular tech, get your hands dirty with new protocols and hardware, and turn technical complexity into clear value that closes deals.

Provide prospects with end-to-end IoT expertise including hardware selection, embedded systems and product architecture and design, and device certifications

Maintain a high level of expertise in IoT technologies and relevant industry trends
Requirements:
Hands-on experience building and deploying embedded systems or IoT devices
Proven expertise in cellular connectivity, cellular certifications, AT commands, radio modules, and modems
Background in IoT professional services or consulting, advising clients on IoT product development and design
Solid understanding of TCP/IP, UDP-based protocols and networking principles
Track record selling complex technical, developer-facing products (ex. networking products, embedded systems hardware, data products, and APIs)
Comfortable working through enterprise technical sales cycles with multiple stakeholders, delivering accurate project plans (MAPs) and clear launch guidance
Proficiency with API implementation and integrations
Working knowledge of scripting languages like Python or Ruby
Comfortable querying data with SQL to troubleshoot device behavior
Based on the US East Coast, or able to work East Coast hours consistently
You Might Be a Great Fit If You…
You have excellent communication skills and can explain complex technical concepts to a non-technical audience
Excel in pre-sales prospect conversations by translating complex technical solutions into clear, compelling business value.
Love the thrill of winning deals by solving hard technical problems and building customer confidence
You love to help customers in need and will go the extra mile to ensure Hologram delivers phenomenal experiences at every touch point
You have a proven history of quickly mastering new technologies and technical concepts
Compensation: $160,000 - $190,000 base + $40,000-$48,000 in annual target incentives + new hire equity grant of 12,500 to 24,700 RSUs.
