Responsibilities

Embed on-site with design partners for meaningful stretches of the year, making their floor your second office.
Build trust across the full vertical, from the GM to the technician running the station.
Develop a genuine understanding of how each partner's shop works and why, including its history, constraints, people, and the physics of what moves through it.
Translate unstructured observations into concrete requirements.
Build, ship, and maintain the software yourself and through the engineers you coordinate on-site and at HQ.
Write production code across the full stack, including ETL, backend, micro-frontends, algorithms, hardware integrations, ML pipelines, analyses, and infrastructure.
Run the process-engineering side of deployment, sequencing software changes with operational changes so they evolve in lockstep.
Manage the cultural work, including training, change management, work instructions, and one-on-one conversations with skeptics.
Own outcomes, measured in operational maturity and financial outcomes gained by the partner, not just features shipped.
