About the role

AI-native platform for corporate meetings and events; role combines product engineering with direct customer engagement at enterprise level.

Responsibilities

  • Be half builder, half forward-deployed: own product engineering while working directly with our largest enterprise customers
  • Meet customers face to face through on-site visits, kickoffs and demos, and help them get real value from the product after launch
  • Sit with customers to scope what they need, then turn it into shipped product, so their feedback goes straight into the roadmap
  • Lead enterprise engineering: integrations, security and SSO requests, reliability, and custom workflows for large accounts
  • Build and harden the AI agents that email and call venues, negotiate, and present options, and make them work reliably inside big companies' processes
  • Own the overarching architecture: think about how everything flows through the product, designed from the customer's perspective
  • Build across the full stack (React/TypeScript, Next.js, Node/Python, SQL)

Qualifications

  • 3+ years shipping full-stack products end to end, ideally at an early-stage startup or as a founding engineer
  • Experience in forward-deployed, solutions or other customer-facing engineering, ideally with enterprise or B2B SaaS customers
  • You genuinely enjoy talking to customers and are comfortable leading a client call or an on-site meeting
  • You can explain technical tradeoffs clearly to non-technical stakeholders
  • You've shipped LLM or AI features to production
  • Strong product judgment: you can take an ambiguous customer problem all the way to a shipped solution
  • You like moving fast, taking ownership, and are excited to travel to customers
