About the Role
Join a product engineering team building AI-powered software for certification, inspection, and compliance workflows. You will work directly with customers to understand how their operations function and turn real-world needs into reliable production systems.
What You'll Do
Work alongside customer operations teams to understand certification, inspection, and compliance processes.
Lead customer conversations, document requirements, and build end-to-end solutions across frontend, backend, data, and model layers.
Own product areas from discovery through launch, collaborating closely with company leadership.
Ship software early, observe how users work with it, and improve it based on feedback.
Use judgment to distinguish broadly useful product needs from one-off requests.
Analyze customer documents, conversations, and outputs to develop AI-powered workflows for scheduling, technical review, conformity assessment, field inspection, and document intelligence.
What We're Looking For
Three to six years of software or product engineering experience, with systems shipped to production users.
Full-stack development experience, including Python, TypeScript, React, Node.js, SQL, and data modeling.
Experience with AI/ML, LLMs, document intelligence, or cloud infrastructure.
Experience building products or systems from the ground up, ideally in an early-stage startup or founding engineering environment.
Comfort working directly with customers and translating operational workflows into software.
Strong computer science fundamentals and the ability to work on-site with customers and the team.
