You'll be the face of Sweed throughout the implementation process. This means you should be equally comfortable presenting to VP-level or C-suite stakeholders, coordinating with operations leads, training frontline store teams, and rolling up your sleeves to troubleshoot configuration or workflow issues. You'll operate in a genuinely complex environment: state-specific compliance requirements, tax configurations, POS workflows, integrations, data migrations, and customers who have real stakes in getting launch right. Today, implementations include a significant amount of onsite work - typically 3-4 trips per month for trainings, go-lives, and high-touch rollouts. Long-term, we're building toward more scalable, remote delivery, and we're excited to hire people who want to help shape what that future looks like. Success in this role means customers cross the finish line on time, with full confidence in the platform and no preventable surprises on launch day. Success in This Role Means * On-time go-lives with minimal post-launch defects * Accurate, complete configurations with strong attention to detail * Confident handling of troubleshooting and technical escalations * High customer confidence from kickoff through go-live * Clear, proactive communication with stakeholders at all levels - including executives * Strong ownership, organization, and ability to work through ambiguity What You'll Do * Own implementations end-to-end: kickoff * configuration * data migration * training * launch readiness * go-live * Manage 5-10 concurrent implementations with strong prioritization and clean project tracking * Lead structured customer calls with executives, operations leads, and frontline teams - driving timelines, setting expectations, and preventing scope creep * Build and execute implementation plans, checklists, and milestones, while proactively improving them over time * Anticipate risks early, escalate with context, and create mitigation plans before issues impact go-live * Troubleshoot configuration, workflow, and launch-readiness issues; clearly document findings and escalate when needed * Partner cross-functionally with Support, Product, Engineering, Sales, and Account Management for smooth handoffs and issue resolution * Develop deep expertise in the Sweed platform to drive efficiency and deliver best-in-class client outcomes * Get increasingly comfortable with datasets and data migrations, including imports/exports, validation, and accuracy checks * Travel to customer locations as needed - currently 3-4 trips/month - for onsite training, go-lives, and high-touch implementations Why This Role Is Exciting * Own high-impact implementations. Your work directly affects store launches, operations, and customer success. * Tackle real complexity. State-specific compliance, tax configurations, POS workflows, integrations, and data migrations. * Build scalable systems. Help refine implementation playbooks, processes, and quality standards as we evolve the function. * Strengthen valuable hard skills. Deep exposure to datasets, migrations, and technical problem-solving. * Work close to the customer. You'll see firsthand how dispensaries operate and how our product supports their day-to-day work. ## Related Videos - [Swapping a Data Warehouse at Runtime: Zero-Downtime Migration Without Changing a Single Client](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100311-swapping-a-data-warehouse-at-runtime-zero-downtime-migration-without-changing-a-single-client) - [Intro to FastAPI](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/462-intro-to-fastapi) - [AI Agents & Agentic AI](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/2017-ai-agents-agentic-ai) - [Migrating half a million users to a new payment service provider](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/730-migrating-half-a-million-users-to-a-new-payment-service-provider) - [Launching a marketplace on-time: A lesson in taking shortcuts using spreadsheets!](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/477-launching-a-marketplace-on-time-a-lesson-in-taking-shortcuts-using-spreadsheets) - [Developer Tools for Microsoft Azure](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/450-developer-tools-for-microsoft-azure) ## Related Articles - [5 Step Guide to Managing New Job Expectations](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/343-5-step-guide-to-managing-new-job-expectations) - [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) - [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) - [First-Time Sponsor Guide: What to Know Before Your First WeAreDevelopers World Congress](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/700-first-time-sponsor-guide-what-to-know-before-your-first-wearedevelopers-world-congress) - [Promotion Interview Questions: How to Answer and Get the Job](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/413-promotion-interview-questions-how-to-answer-and-get-the-job) - [How to Answer the “Why Should We Hire You” Interview Question](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/321-how-to-answer-the-why-should-we-hire-you-interview-question)
