## About the role

This is a pioneering role. You'll work closely with Sales, our co-founders, and the engineering team on the deals that matter most. You'll own the technical win end to end: running head-to-head bake-offs against leading AI providers, tuning deployments on the latest hardware, and turning what you learn into reusable assets that make every future deal faster to close. As our first FDE, you'll also define what the function looks like as GTM scales.

## What they're looking for

- Customer-facing engineering with an owned technical outcome at an infrastructure or ML platform company
- Strong Python skills
- Dual-audience presence with commercial instinct — credible with a skeptical staff engineer, clear with a CFO, and able to tell a technical objection from a procurement one
