Job Description

What we're looking for

Strong software engineering fundamentals — you can design, build, debug, and ship production systems end to end.

Hands-on experience with LLM applications: RAG, agents, tool/function calling, prompt and context engineering, evaluation.

Data engineering competence: pipelines, SQL, data modeling; PySpark or similar a plus.

Full-stack ability to stand up usable applications quickly (TypeScript/React or similar).

Comfort operating in ambiguity at a customer site — extracting requirements from real users, making scoping calls, and defending technical decisions to non-engineers.

Bias for shipping: you'd rather demo something real in ten days than perfect something in three months.

Excellent communication; you will be the face of the team at the customer.

Nice to have

Kubernetes/Helm/Terraform familiarity; experience deploying in restricted or air-gapped environments.

Experience with AI coding agents/harnesses (Claude Code or similar) used for production-grade development.

Ontology, knowledge-graph, or enterprise data-platform experience.

Enterprise domain exposure: supply chain, CRM, HR systems, e-commerce, or manufacturing.
