Lead Forward Deployed Engineer

America’s industrial base runs on systems built in the 1980s.

Billions of dollars in critical components (F-35 parts, industrial assemblies, electronics, bolts, and hoses) still move through email threads, excel sheets, and disconnected ERPs.

We’re replacing that with an AI-native platform that makes aerospace, electronics, industrial, and defense supply-chain operations nearly autonomous. Faster quoting. Faster procurement. Full visibility. Real operational intelligence for the companies our nation depends on.

Go. Fly out and plant yourself inside the customer’s operation. Weekdays are onsite (Wisconsin, New York, Miami, Los Angeles); weekends we regroup at the SF HQ to debrief and keep building.

Understand. Map how the company actually operates, from sales and supply chain teams to executives and CEOs. Learn the breakpoints choking their growth and speed.

Implement. Configure automations within SP Studio tooling so the platform accurately reflects the customer’s needs. Build trust and confidence in Sales Patriot.

Iterate. Take full ownership of the customer’s outcome. Keep finding and killing their most pressing problems, leading org-wide scaling, until Sales Patriot is the operating system their business runs on.

Experience mentoring junior engineers or leading technical teams.

Ready to relocate full-time to San Francisco. This is not a remote role.

Absolute grinder. Interested in co-living (though not required).

Comfortable with ambiguity and rapid change.

Track record of shipping fast.

Full-stack beyond code: comfortable jumping between frontend, backend, and organizational politics — earning trust with procurement specialists while navigating executive priorities and IT constraints.

Motivated by taking an unknown problem, sinking your teeth in, and coming up with a plan of attack.

Proficiency in Type Script, JavaScript, and at least one frontend library (React, Svelte, Next etc).

Be ready to show us at least one full-stack project you’ve shipped (Git Hub repo / web app / Loom demo video).

Knowledge of SQL databases, preferably Postgres.

Personable: clients trust you, like you, and look forward to your updates. You handle the conversation and the code.

Low ego, curiosity, and intellectual honesty — focused on outcomes, not “being right.”
