You’ll solve high-impact, real-world problems alongside enterprise customers and own work from first principles through production outcomes.

You’ll work directly with customers to understand critical workflows, design AI-driven solutions, and deploy agents that operate reliably in production. You’ll own projects end-to-end from problem definition and system design to launch and iteration - and be accountable for real business impact.

●      Translate open-ended problems into clear technical designs and implementations

●      Build AI agents that integrate with customer systems and perform real tasks

●      Own deployments, including reliability, performance, and continuous improvement

●      Test with real data, measure outcomes, and iterate based on results

●      Collaborate with Product & Engineering to ship high-quality solutions

●      Contribute to tools, documentation, and best practices that scale customer delivery

What We’re Looking For

●      5+ years of experience in software engineering or technical problem-solving roles

●      Strong fundamentals in software design, system thinking

●      Experience working across systems, integrations, and data flows

●      Comfort working directly with customers and owning ambiguous problems

●      Clear communication skills and a strong ownership mindset

●      Curiosity and interest in building AI-powered systems that work in practice

Nice to Have

●      Experience in forward-deployed, solutions engineering, or customer-facing roles

●      Exposure to AI agents, automation, or conversational systems

●    Experience operating and improving production systems
