## What they're looking for

- 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
