About the Role
Join an engineering team building AI software for enterprise procurement. This customer-facing role connects on-site discovery with hands-on product development, helping customers solve real workflow challenges while making shared platform capabilities more useful.
What You'll Do

Turn recurring agent failures into evaluation cases in collaboration with the AI team.
Build product features, customer-data adapters, and integrations that connect systems and data sources.
Take solutions from initial discovery through production rollout, then observe user behavior and iterate.
Bring recurring customer needs into reusable product and platform capabilities.
What We're Looking For
At least 2 years of professional experience shipping software used by real users.
Strong full-stack or backend foundations, with production experience building APIs and working with SQL and relational databases.
Production experience with TypeScript or Python; experience with React, Next.js, or another frontend framework is useful.
Experience in enterprise integrations, LLM applications, or technical customer-facing work.
Ability to investigate system behavior using logs, traces, or conversation histories, and improve software based on observed user behavior.
Experience building or maintaining integrations across systems or data sources is helpful. Procurement knowledge is not required.
