You will embed with customer teams to understand their workflows and highest-value use cases, then build production-ready systems that solve real problems. Just as importantly, you will feed what you learn in the field back into the core product, shaping platform capabilities, reusable patterns, and roadmap so that each deployment makes the next one faster.
We are hiring a Staff Software Engineer who will split their time between building our core product and delivering it directly to customers. This role sits at the intersection of software engineering, product development, customer delivery, and operational execution.
What you'll do:
- Work directly with customers to understand their workflows, pain points, data environments, and operational constraints.
- Contribute to both the core platform and customer-specific integrations: build reusable capabilities into the product, then adapt and deploy them in each customer's environment.
- Build and deploy AI-enabled applications, agents, and workflow automation, applying AI/ML and LLM techniques such as RAG, guardrails, and evals to deliver reliable customer solutions.
- Translate customer needs into technical requirements, implementation plans, and product feedback for the core engineering team.
- Own delivery from prototype through production, including architecture, backend services, APIs, integrations, observability, testing, deployment, and customer acceptance.
- Integrate with customer systems, data sources, identity providers, and cloud or on-prem infrastructure.
