## About the Role

* At least two years in a client-facing engineering role, such as forward-deployed engineering, solutions engineering, implementation, or technical consulting.
 * A track record of taking a client from kickoff to live, including the awkward middle where scope moves and the data is not what anyone promised.
 * Proficiency in Python, and real comfort with REST APIs and webhooks.
 * Capable with SQL and data work, including the unglamorous kind where the source data is wrong.
 * The instinct to ask why a client wants something before building it, and the judgement to know when to configure, when to build, and when to push back.
 * Able to explain a technical constraint to an operations director without losing them, and to write requirements an engineer can act on.
 * Comfortable working amid ambiguity, because client requirements will change beneath you.
 * Willing to travel to client sites in the United Kingdom, and occasionally internationally.
 * The right to work in the United Kingdom already, as we are unable to sponsor visas.

Helpful, but not essential

 * Facilities management, property technology, or field service experience.
 * Enterprise software delivery, particularly into multi-site operations.
 * Having shipped products built on AI, and a realistic sense of where they break.

## Description

* Sit with facilities managers, helpdesk staff, and engineers, and learn how their operation actually runs, not how the process document says it runs.
 * Roll clients out module by module, starting in a staging environment and expanding scope as confidence builds.
 * Translate what a client asks for into what the system should do, and then make the change yourself.
 * Build client-specific features and configurations where they unlock the account, and feed the reusable ones back into the core product.
 * Stay across each account: what is live, what is being used, what is not working, and what the client will need next.
 * Work alongside our product and engineering teams, so that client reality shapes the roadmap rather than surprising it.
