About The Position

Deployed Software Engineers are customer-facing software engineers: shipping features, building new capabilities, and expanding our product surface area inside some of the world’s most complex enterprises. You’ll work directly with customers to turn messy, high-stakes workflows into reliable AI-driven systems – shipping production code that influences both revenue and product direction.
This is a founding role on a team we're building from scratch. We expect you to operate with autonomy, make sound judgment calls in ambiguous environments, and represent Serval with credibility at the most senior levels of an organization. If you're energized by building something that didn't exist before and having a direct line between your work and company growth, this is the role for you.

Responsibilities
