About the role

This is a super-powered FDE who has world-class engineering talent with the ability to translate it to a business audience. Over four weeks, a mess of spreadsheets, disconnected SaaS, and tribal knowledge becomes a full-stack system the business runs on. Our internal platform, Crucible, removes the deployment ramp, so you can have a production grade working demo by the end of your first day on site. You stay close to the code and close to the customer, carrying the system from first build through real use.
