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 aerospace, electronics, industrial, and defense supply-chain operations nearly autonomous. Faster quoting. Faster procurement. Full visibility. Real operational intelligence for the companies our nation depends on.

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.
Lead. Run the FDEs on your accounts. Set their priorities, review their work, and get them to where they can run an implementation without you.
You've owned customer-facing technical work before and can point to results you delivered.
You own the account. You set technical direction with the customer's executives and IT, decide what gets built first, and tell them no when they're asking for the wrong thing.
You make scoping and trade-off calls on your own, without waiting for sign-off.
You've mentored or managed engineers. Here you're accountable for the FDEs on your accounts hitting their outcomes.
Strong full-stack engineer: TypeScript, at least one frontend framework (React, Svelte, Next, etc), and SQL, preferably Postgres. You still ship production code every week.
You can earn trust with procurement specialists while navigating executive priorities and IT constraints.
Ready to travel every week and relocate full-time to San Francisco. This is not a remote role.
Absolute grinder. Interested in co-living (though not required).
Low ego, curious, intellectually honest.
