Forward Deployed Engineer

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 defense, aerospace, and industrial 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+ on a hyper-growth trajectory.
• Backed by Paul Graham, SV Angel, Pear VC, and CRV
• Team of 17 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.

What We’re Looking For

• Absolute grinder. Interested in co-living (though not required).
• Ready to relocate to SF full-time. This is not a remote role.
• 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 TypeScript, 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 (GitHub 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."

The Process

30 min intro call → Technical test → 15 min call with founder → fly out to SF HQ (on us) → offer.
