About the role
About the Role
Join a Series A AI automation company at the intersection of engineering, customer partnership, and operational excellence. You will work with enterprise customers to transform complex, high-impact workflows into reliable software and automation, owning deployments from discovery through rollout.
What You'll Do
- Work with customers to map complex business processes and turn them into precise, actionable steps.
- Build robust workflow automations using an AI-based programming language.
- Architect and implement solutions that scale reliably in production.
- Partner with customers to iterate on implementations and support adoption.
- Scale deployments from initial pilots to production use.
- Document deployment practices and share lessons that improve future customer implementations.
What We're Looking For
- Two to eight years of software engineering experience, with strong engineering fundamentals and experience shipping a full-stack application end to end.

- Strong customer communication skills and experience building trust with enterprise stakeholders.
- Demonstrated ownership of outcomes, sound judgment, and initiative in fast-paced, high-intensity environments.
- Experience working directly with customers to solve operational problems, beyond providing support alone.
- Background in a startup or other environment that combines engineering with customer, product, sales, or growth work is valuable.
