Job description

This is a super-powered FDE who has world-class engineering talent with the ability to translate it to a business audience. Over four weeks, a mess of spreadsheets, disconnected SaaS, and tribal knowledge becomes a full-stack system the business runs on. Our internal platform, Crucible, removes the deployment ramp, so you can have a production grade working demo by the end of your first day on site. You stay close to the code and close to the customer, carrying the system from first build through real use.

What you own.

The full solution, end-to-end. From an ambiguous operational problem through architecture, frontend, backend, data, integrations, LLM orchestration, production cutover, and the metric that proves it worked. You own the deployment and oversee integrations. You work within a small pod that provides the delivery and platform support you need to focus on building the right thing. You're writing React in the morning, shaping a Postgres schema after lunch, and debugging an agent loop before dinner. What you learn in the field feeds back into Crucible as reusable tooling, patterns, and platform capabilities that make the next deployment faster.

What you bring.

Production software shipped end-to-end across the stack: React and TypeScript on the frontend, Python on the backend, APIs in use. Opinions about RAG, agents, and evals formed from building them, not reading about them. Judgment to turn incomplete requirements and evolving user feedback into working software. Comfort in a room with a CFO or a CTO alike. Calm with ambiguity. Excitement about spending meaningful time with customers and taking responsibility for whether the system is adopted and delivers the intended result.

Level.

Experienced FDEs lead engagements start to finish. Earlier-career engineers ramp quickly to do the same.
