Forward Deployed Engineer

SalesPatriot • San Francisco, CA

3d • Onsite

About The Position

America's industrial base runs on systems built in the 1980s. Billions of dollars in critical components (F-35 parts, industrial assemblies, electronics, bolts, and hoses) still move through email threads, excel sheets, and disconnected ERPs. We're replacing that with an AI-native platform that makes defense, aerospace, and industrial supply-chain operations nearly autonomous. Faster quoting. Faster procurement. Full visibility. Real operational intelligence for the companies our nation depends on.

Requirements

• Absolute grinder. Interested in co-living (though not required).
• Comfortable with ambiguity and rapid change.
• Track record of shipping fast.
• Full-stack beyond code: comfortable jumping between frontend, backend, and organizational politics — earning trust with procurement specialists while navigating executive priorities and IT constraints.
• Motivated by taking an unknown problem, sinking your teeth in, and coming up with a plan of attack.
• Proficiency in TypeScript, JavaScript, and at least one frontend library (React, Svelte, Next etc).
• Be ready to show us at least one full-stack project you've shipped (GitHub repo / web app / Loom demo video).
• Knowledge of SQL databases, preferably Postgres.
• Personable: clients trust you, like you, and look forward to your updates. You handle the conversation and the code.
• Low ego, curiosity, and intellectual honesty — focused on outcomes, not "being right."

Responsibilities

• Go. Fly out and plant yourself inside the customer's operation. Weekdays are onsite (Wisconsin, New York, Miami, Los Angeles); weekends we regroup at the SF HQ to debrief and keep building.
• Understand. Map how the company actually operates, from sales and supply chain teams to executives and CEOs. Learn the breakpoints choking their growth and speed.
• Implement. Configure automations within SP Studio tooling so the platform accurately reflects the customer's needs. Build trust and confidence in SalesPatriot.
• Iterate. Take full ownership of the customer's outcome. Keep finding and killing their most pressing problems, leading org-wide scaling, until SalesPatriot is the operating system their business runs on.
