## About the role

Loop is bringing AI to an industry that still runs on PDFs, phone calls, and tribal knowledge. You are the one who lands first. You are 75% engineer, 25% product-founder mind. You write production code and navigate legacy systems with equal confidence, but you also hear customers with a commercial ear and translate what you learn into buildable requirements. You have real integration experience with enterprise customer systems -- not just willingness, but instincts built through reps.

## What they're looking for

- Qualify opportunities and lead technical discovery -- map the customer's systems landscape, assess technical fit, and produce a scoped project plan
- Integrate customer systems with Loop -- APIs, EDI feeds, ERPs, TMS platforms, payment systems. Wrangle the messy data underneath
- Own customer relationships and deployment timelines -- run meetings, demos, and status updates from kickoff through commercial conversion. Travel to customer sites as needed
- Debrief every deployment -- extract repeating patterns, identify productization candidates, and route field intelligence back into Loop's product direction
- Help build the function itself -- refine qualification criteria, improve processes, and contribute to the team's playbook as we learn from the field
- 3-5 years of software engineering experience
