About the role
This is a role for a builder who wants to be the technical face of the company. You'll own the full technical implementation of the product after the sales handoff, from kickoff through to go-live, turning signed deals into live, working AI deployments.
Most of your time will be spent deep in technical work: integrating the software into complex enterprise systems, structuring messy customer data for AI, and adapting model behaviour to fit real customer workflows. But you'll also be engaging daily with users and senior stakeholders, debugging their problems, understanding their processes, and walking C level stakeholders through prototypes you've built.
You'll also act as the voice of the customer internally, surfacing patterns, edge cases, and product gaps to the core engineering team so the product keeps improving where it matters most.
What you'll bring
- Solid full stack engineering skills across frontend, backend, and data pipelines (Python, React, TypeScript, SQL, APIs).
- Experience connecting software to ERP systems, REST or GraphQL APIs, webhooks, or B2B SaaS implementations is a plus.
- The ability to make sense of messy, inconsistent real world data and build reliable structure around it fast.
- Practical experience with LLMs, agents, and prompt engineering, and a feel for adapting model behaviour to a specific domain.
- Strong communication skills. You can explain technical work to engineers, users, and a CFO, and know which mode you're in.
- High agency and genuine customer obsession. When something is broken or missing, you fix it.
