Job Description

THE MISSION 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. QUICK FACTS - YC W25 company. Top 5% growth in batch - Raised $10M+ from investors including Paul Graham, SV Angel, Pear VC, and CRV - Team of 20 co-live in our Warsaw & SF Hacker Houses - 7 figure ARR transacting ~$50M a week through our system THE JOB - 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 SalesPatriot. - Iterate. Take full ownership of the customer's outcome. Keep finding and killing their most pressing problems, leading org-wide scaling, until SalesPatriot is the operating system their business runs on. - Lead. Run the FDEs on your accounts. Set their priorities, review their work, and get them to where they can run an implementation without you. WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR - You've owned customer-facing technical work before and can point to results you delivered. - You own the account. You set technical direction with the customer's executives and IT, decide what gets built first, and tell them no when they're asking for the wrong thing. - You make scoping and trade-off calls on your own, without waiting for sign-off. - You've mentored or managed engineers. Here you're accountable for the FDEs on your accounts hitting their outcomes. - Strong full-stack engineer: TypeScript, at least one frontend framework (React, Svelte, Next, etc), and SQL, preferably Postgres. You still ship production code every week. - You can earn trust with procurement specialists while navigating executive priorities and IT constraints. - Ready to travel every week and relocate full-time to San Francisco. This is not a remote role. - Absolute grinder. Interested in co-living (though not required). - Low ego, curious, intellectually honest. THE PROCESS Call with engineer → 1hr technical test → Call with founder → fly out to SF HQ (on us) → offer.
