Our platform is powered by cutting edge hardware, sensors (LiDAR, camera, etc…), AI and software designed to revolutionize work in the toughest environments.\nOur technology has enabled our customers to reduce wildfire risk, regulatory and outage risk from vegetation, avoid delays and cost overruns in new construction, and accelerate recovery from severe storms.\nTo tackle this challenge, we are bringing together a team of mission-driven experts with deep industry experience in robotics (Penn, Caltech, CMU) and enterprise software development (Palantir, Stripe, Oracle, MongoDB). We have raised funding from leading investors including Penny Pritzker’s Inspired Capital.\nWe are headquartered in midtown Manhattan, with additional offices in San Francisco and Philadelphia.\nOur growth is only accelerating. We’re looking for deeply curious and highly ambitious people who want to have a real world impact. Come build the future of (field) work with us.\nAbout the role\nThe forward deployed engineering role focuses on implementing and integrating our technology into customer operations; in this role you will -\nEmbed with our customers to deeply understand their challenges, how our technology can support them and where gaps exist. You will frequently meet the customer at their location to see their field and office workflows in-person.\n\nDeploy our product at our customers. This includes gathering necessary inputs to configure the platform, generating logins etc…. You may support and/or lead ead training for users on Treeswift’s tools and you will be the first point of contact for support and product feedback.\n\nSupport integrations with customer data systems. We are often asked to push our data into existing customer systems. This starts by mapping our data into the target system schema. Our first integration may be a one-off data dump, but you will also support establishing more robust operational pipelines (i.e. API integration).\n\nExtend the platform where gaps exist to meet customer needs.. This might range from writing python models for new business logic, contributing new features to our Web Application or larger product initiatives. Sometimes these contributions will be MVPs to move quickly and sometimes they will be fully fledged features reviewed by our core engineering team, that will then be deployed to all customers.\n\nCompleting analyses to support our customers in understanding and trusting our data. This includes everything from one-off reports to comparisons between Treeswift data and customer data.\n\nExperience / Skills\n4+ years of professional experience\n\nDemonstrated comfort with ambiguity and excitement to work in an extremely high-autonomy role in an early stage environment.\n\nExcellent communicator across a wide breadth of stakeholders. You are comfortable giving a training to a large group of users one-minute and preparing a presentation for a room full of executives the next.\n\nExperience in a highly technical environment, such as software development, robotics, engineering or finance. You are comfortable coding in python and contributing to web application development, as well as quickly coming up to speed on new technical concepts.\n\nNice-to-have, but not required\nMore extensive technical experience with data pipelines, embedded systems or machine learning\n\nPrior experience at a SaaS software company\n\nPrior experience working with utilities, energy sector or other sectors with a large field work or industrial component\n\nWhat We Value\nMission first. We value team members who are focused on working towards the best outcomes for the customer and the business.\n\nCuriosity. We are constantly learning - from each other and from our customers.. We aren’t afraid to learn we were wrong in the process and adapt our approach accordingly.\n\nOwners mindset. If you see an opportunity for improvement, run with it. We believe that good ideas can come from anywhere, no matter your role.\n\nBenefits\nCompetitive salary and equity package\n\nComprehensive medical, dental, and vision coverage for you and your eligible dependents\n\nLife insurance and short- and long-term disability coverage\n\n16 weeks of fully paid parental leave to support all new parents\n\nFlexible, unlimited paid time off\n\n401(k) retirement savings plan\n\nFree OneMedical membership\n\nCommuter benefits\n\nSnacks, goodies, and team lunches provided twice a week to keep you fueled and connected with your colleagues.\n\nSalary\nThe estimated salary range for this position is $150,000 to $190,000.
