Join an early-stage B2B SaaS team building AI-powered software for certification, inspection, and compliance workflows. You will work directly with customers to understand how their operations run and turn real-world needs into reliable production systems.

• Ship production software quickly and improve it through direct observation and user feedback.
• Assess customer requests and prioritize solutions that can serve broader needs.
• Review customer documents, calls, and real-world outputs to develop AI workflows for scheduling, technical review, conformity assessment, field inspection, and document intelligence.

What We're Looking For

• Three to six years of experience in software engineering or product engineering.
• Full-stack development experience, including Python, TypeScript, React, Node.js, SQL, and cloud infrastructure.
• Experience building and shipping products or systems from the ground up, ideally in an early-stage startup environment.
• Familiarity with AI/ML, large language models, or document intelligence.
