## Description

This is a customer-facing engineering role that sits between the product and the people using it. You will move between writing code in the core product and working directly with customers to turn real-world pain points into shipped features. Expect ambiguity, ownership, and a high bar.

What you'll be doing

 * Design and ship solutions in the core product - fixing bugs, building features, and solving the problems customers care about most.
 * Work directly with customers, from subject-matter experts to executives, and explain technical ideas clearly to technical and non-technical audiences alike.
 * Turn ambiguous problem statements into requirements, specs, and realistic timelines without waiting for fully-defined product requirements.
 * Support integrations and new workflows for large customers, deploying updates in real time based on customer signal.
 * Partner with sales, product, and product engineering to deliver smoothly and feed insights back into the roadmap.

Tech stack: Python, TypeScript, GCP, Go, SQL, AI/ML, REST APIs
