You embed directly with customer teams as the engineer on the ground. You lead discovery, find the real bottleneck, and build and ship production-grade agents and AI workflows that integrate with the customer's auth, data, and delivery systems.

Responsibilities
- Lead discovery with customers and define clear success metrics
- Design and ship production agents, AI applications, and coding-agent workflows
- Get a first version live in days, then harden it with rollout, monitoring, and iteration
- Own production quality: tracing, evals, debugging, latency and cost tradeoffs
- Build tools, MCP servers, retrieval, rules, skills, CI gates, and evals and integrate them into customer systems
- Measure outcomes such as revenue, cost, hours saved, error rate, and cycle time
- Work directly with Staff+, platform, and domain leaders
- Enable the customer team and turn learnings into reusable patterns and product improvements
