## About the Role

* A strong software engineering background, with systems or infrastructure experience strongly preferred; this is an engineering role, not a prompt-writing role.
 * Hands-on, expert experience using agentic development tools such as OpenAI Codex and Claude Code, integrating LLM APIs, and building evaluations.
 * A shipped track record of internal tooling or developer-productivity work that engineers actually adopted.
 * The credibility and patience to win over skeptical senior systems engineers with results rather than demos.
 * Self-directed working style, comfortable defining your own roadmap from observed friction without a team around you.
 * Excellent written communication skills, since we run on written plans, design docs, and async updates.

Preferred Qualifications

 * A low-level or hardware-adjacent background, enough to be credible pairing on a kernel driver or a trace-analysis session.
 * Experience with CI/CD systems, developer platforms, or build and release engineering.
 * Prior forward-deployed, solutions-engineering, or platform-team experience.

## Description

Forward deployment and workflow building

 * Embed with APS sub-teams across firmware, runtime, performance, and simulation, and build agentic workflows into how they actually work, including coding, debugging, triage, test generation, and keeping documentation honest.
 * Pair directly with senior engineers on their real work, earning adoption by making their week measurably better.

Tooling and shared infrastructure

 * Own the shared skills repository and internal agent tooling that turn hard-won team knowledge into reusable, evaluated automation.
 * Wire agents into CI and everyday engineering surfaces, including code review, log and trace triage, and silicon-debug assistance.

Quality and evaluation

 * Build and maintain evaluations so workflow quality is measured rather than guessed, and regression-test the automation like any other production system.

Standards and culture

 * Set the standard for what good AI-assisted engineering looks like where correctness is non-negotiable, and champion that AI-native culture across the team.
 * Identify where AI leverage genuinely pays off and where it does not, and say so plainly., Leads business development and strategic account growth with pharmaceutical and biotechnology partners across the U.S. West and Central regions. Responsibilities include acquiring customers, building pipelines in Salesforce, developing proposals, advancing precision medicine and genomics opportunities, negotiating and closing projects, and collaborating with scientific, commercial, and operational teams. The role focuses on NGS-based assays, biomarker discovery, clinical trial solutions, and companion diagnostics, with approximately 30% domestic and international travel.
