About the role

About the Role

Join the customer-facing engineering team at an AI company serving manufacturing and supply chain operations. You will build and deploy AI-powered workflows with customers, taking solutions from discovery through production and helping shape the deployment approach as the team grows.

What You'll Do

  • Work with customer IT, procurement, and supply chain teams to identify and scope new workflows and use cases.
  • Build and ship production code in customer environments, designing solutions that can scale across deployments.
  • Lead technical deployments from discovery through go-live and own outcomes such as inventory, sourcing efficiency, and forecast accuracy.
  • Travel to customer facilities, including internationally, to work alongside operators and support adoption.
  • Bring customer feedback and field learnings to platform engineering to improve future deployments.

What We're Looking For

  • One to five years of customer-facing full-stack or forward-deployed engineering experience, with a strong software engineering foundation.
  • Experience owning customer deployments and shipping production systems in enterprise environments at a growth-stage technology company.
  • Ability to clarify ambiguous problems, gather technical requirements, scope end-to-end workflows, and deliver solutions to production.
  • Working knowledge of Python or a similar language, SQL, APIs, enterprise data, and related systems such as ERP platforms.
  • Comfort working independently in an early-stage environment, communicating clearly, and identifying additional use cases with customers.
  • Exposure to manufacturing, industrial, or supply chain operations is valuable. A strong computer science foundation is expected.
  • Willingness to travel internationally, primarily to Europe and Asia, approximately 15% to 30% of the time.
