Full 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 production system the business runs on. When the CFO calls at 10pm, you answer.

What you own. The full solution, end-to-end. Requirements, architecture, frontend, backend, data, LLM orchestration, production cutover, and the metric that tells us it worked. You're writing React in the morning, shaping a Postgres schema after lunch, and debugging an agent loop before dinner. Whatever you learn in the field feeds back into the platform.

What you bring. Production software shipped end-to-end across the stack - React and TypeScript on the frontend, Python on the backend, at least one LLM API in real use. Opinions about RAG, agents, and evals formed from building them, not reading about them. Comfort in a room with a CFO or a superintendent. Calm with ambiguity.

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