Build OS for CPG

Job summary

Glimpse is seeking a Founding Forward Deployment Engineer to turn messy ERPs into working software at the customer site. You'll own problems end to end, design scalable integration patterns, and set the standards for code quality in a rapidly growing AI-first company.

Join an early team in NYC and help build the operating system for CPG brands, with opportunities to shape validation, data integrity, and auditable AI-driven workflows.

Qualifications

• 5+ years of software engineering, with real time spent in customer-facing, solutions, or forward-deployed work.
• Hands-on experience with data pipelines and integrations against financial or operational systems (ERPs, accounting, inventory, order management).
• Comfort with messy, legacy, and undocumented data sources.
• A track record of owning ambiguous projects from first conversation to production.
• Strong instincts for testing, validation, and auditability, plus a healthy skepticism about where AI belongs in a financial workflow.
• Daily use of AI-assisted development tools.
• Clear communication in conversation, writing, code, and design docs. You can explain your own code to a peer and a strategy to a skeptical customer.
• Low ego and high standards. You give and take feedback well, handle disagreement constructively, and share credit freely.
• Experience building with LLMs.

Responsibilities

• Own customer problems end to end. Take a vague customer ask and drive it to a shipped solution without waiting for a spec.
• Find the real problem. Look past what customers request to what will actually make them successful.
• Build data integrations that hold up. Move and reconcile SKU, inventory, transaction, and invoice data across legacy systems and modern data stacks.
• Design patterns that scale. Build integration approaches that work across customers and ERPs, not one-off scripts.
• Make correctness a first-class requirement. Build validation, exception handling, and reconciliation into every workflow, especially where AI touches financial data.
• Set the bar for good code. Write clean, correct software. Use AI dev tools as a core part of how you work.
• Make others better. Unblock teammates, mentor, and build alignment across engineering, product, and customer-facing teams.
