What You'll DoWe're looking for engineers to build, deploy, and extend the Lumaril platform.
This isn't a traditional software engineer or forward deployed engineer role. You'll wear both hats, working directly with customers to deliver a bespoke-quality platform, then bringing what you learn and deliver onsite back into the core product.
You'll spend some days on the ground with our customers, which might mean traveling to a grain elevator, a plastics recycling facility, or a metal fabrication plant. A typical onsite day combines a defined goal-such as observing a workflow in practice or getting user feedback on a prototype-with serendipity.
Being onsite is how we learn what we need to build, test it in real-world conditions, and spot unexpected opportunities to bring value to our customers through casual conversations and unplanned encounters. The ideal candidate finds that exciting, not a tax to pay before you get back to coding.
Other days, you'll be at the office figuring out what to do with what you learned onsite. You'll combine making a short-term impact by building prototypes to validate hypotheses and deliver immediate results to customers, then maturing and integrating what works into our core platform.
We're open to a broad range of experience levels, from junior engineers who are hungry to learn to senior engineers who bring deep expertise.
Who You AreRequirements- Comfort with agentic coding. You don't need to have direct experience, but you need to be comfortable in an environment where we lean heavily on agentic coding.
- High agency. You identify what needs to happen, take initiative, and move forward without needing detailed direction.
- Ability to iterate. You can shift from starting small and scrappy to seeing what you ship through to becoming part of our core platform.
- Flexibility and adaptability. You're open to feedback and you're willing to shift direction when the facts change.
- Ability to travel 15-35%. Travel requirements vary by individual, and we'll work with you to figure out a cadence that fits your personal needs, but you should be prepared to travel at least a few days per month.
Nice to have- Experience in physical world environments (manufacturers, chemical producers, food and agricultural processors, etc.)
