This isn't a configuration job. Our customers' environments are messy and industrial - legacy systems, spotty connectivity, workers in the field wearing AR headsets instead of sitting at a desk. You'll write real production code to make Squint's knowledge graph and AI workflows work in that environment, for that customer, this week. You'll work closely with our founding engineering team, embedding directly with named accounts to turn ambiguous operational problems into shipped, working deployments. What You'll Do You'll be the engineer accountable for getting Squint live at a customer site and proving out its value. You will: * Own deployments end-to-end: From kickoff to go-live, you'll be the engineer accountable for getting Squint live and delivering value at a customer site - no handoffs, no hiding behind a ticket queue. * Build, don't just configure: You'll write production code - integrations, custom workflows, data pipelines - to adapt Squint to each customer's systems, equipment, and terminology. * Go where the work is: You'll spend time on factory floors and in the field, watching how frontline teams actually work, so you can build something they'll actually use. * Close the loop with product: Every deployment teaches us something. You'll turn field learnings into clear, prioritized feedback that shapes Squint's core roadmap. * Earn trust at every level: From the frontline operator to the plant manager to the exec sponsor, you'll be the person customers count on to make Squint work. ## Related Videos - [Developing the Backend with Stefan Lingler, CTO at Shpock](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100360-developing-the-backend-with-stefan-lingler-cto-at-shpock) - [Putting the Graph In GraphQL With The Neo4j GraphQL Library](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/257-putting-the-graph-in-graphql-with-the-neo4j-graphql-library) - [Why and when should we consider Stream Processing frameworks in our solutions](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1085-why-and-when-should-we-consider-stream-processing-frameworks-in-our-solutions) - [From Messy Queries to Scalable Systems - How Data Engineering actually works](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100203-from-messy-queries-to-scalable-systems-how-data-engineering-actually-works) - [Nest.js - TypeScript in the backend can also be clean](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1033-nest-js-typescript-in-the-backend-can-also-be-clean) - [Remote Driving on Plant Grounds with State-of-the-Art Cloud Technologies](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/251-remote-driving-on-plant-grounds-with-state-of-the-art-cloud-technologies) ## Related Articles - [How We Built a Worry-Free System That Runs for 10+ Years – And What We’d Do Again](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/751-how-we-built-a-worry-free-system-that-runs-for-10-years-and-what-we-d-do-again) - [Dev Digest 120 - Apple and peers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/455-dev-digest-120-apple-and-peers) - [Fully Remote Software Engineer Jobs](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/447-fully-remote-software-engineer-jobs) - [How to Answer the Interview Question: “Why Do You Want to Be a Software Engineer?”](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/392-how-to-answer-the-interview-question-why-do-you-want-to-be-a-software-engineer) - [Is Software Engineering Over-Saturated?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/418-is-software-engineering-over-saturated) - [Is Software Engineering Hard?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/448-is-software-engineering-hard)
