## Description

* Full-stack engineering leader
 * Previously an engineer at Palantir and Pave
 * While at Pave (where he joined as the 10th engineer), he founded, grew, and led the data integration team, scaling from 10 to thousands of customer connections., As an early engineer, you will play a critical role in setting the company's technical direction. You will be hands-on, building the early product and talking directly with initial customers and users. From the start, it is critical that you can build a 0-1 product with great UI/UX. As the company grows, you will own and lead the architectural roadmap that will lay the foundation for the platform. Your technical leadership will be a key factor in supporting and growing the engineering and product teams.

You need to be both strategic and tactical. The company is seeking a builder to develop product specs and front-end components into an enterprise-ready application. They are also looking for a self-starter, not afraid to get their hands dirty and rapidly iterate on prototypes early in the development lifecycle. An ability to handle ambiguity is a must.

The company needs a top-tier team to help build a platform that will fundamentally change and improve supply chain networks.

Looking back on your first 12 months at the company, you will have:

 * Built and led the delivery of the early versions of the platform, spearheading pilot programs at initial customers
 * Worked with the team to think through strategy and the evolution of the business
 * Influenced new product and feature design while defining a long-term technical strategy aligned with industry best practices
 * Designed and implemented platform integrations with outside APIs, partners, and cloud infrastructure
 * Built something scrappily to show customer value, so that the team has now earned the right to re-architect for scale
