Job description

FDE covering Australia and Singapore customers. The JD now opens with SpaceX/SpaceXSI boilerplate: you ship production agents, AI apps and coding-agent workflows "on Grok and our models", wire them into the customer's auth, data and delivery systems, harden them with evals, and measure revenue, cost, cycle time or escaped defects rather than seat adoption. Asks for 5+ years in SWE/MLE/data science, agents or AI workflows owned in production (Python, JS/TS), and ideally 2+ years customer-facing. "This is not a demo role": you own systems from first discovery call through post-launch support.

Australia and Singapore get an FDE seat, with a Singapore Regional Director of FDE posted next to it. That's an APAC build-out with leadership, not one person sent out to cover a region.
