## Requirements

- New grads welcome. What matters is that you've built and shipped things, so bring at least one full-stack project you can show us (GitHub repo, web app, or Loom demo).
- Strong in TypeScript and at least one frontend framework (React, Svelte, Next, etc). Comfortable with SQL, preferably Postgres.
- You want to learn the job from an experienced Lead FDE and grow into running your own customer implementations.
- Personable. You can sit with a procurement team, ask good questions, and come back with something that works. Customers look forward to your updates.
- Comfortable with ambiguity. The problem you solve on Tuesday may not be the one you flew in for on Monday.
- Ready to travel every week and relocate full-time to San Francisco. This is not a remote role.
- Absolute grinder. Interested in co-living (though not required).
- Low ego, curious, intellectually honest. Focused on outcomes, not on being right.

## Description

### The Mission

America's industrial base runs on systems built in the 1980s.
Billions of dollars in critical components (F-35 parts, industrial assemblies, electronics, bolts, and hoses) still move through email threads, excel sheets, and disconnected ERPs.
We're replacing that with an AI-native platform that makes aerospace, electronics, industrial, and defense supply-chain operations nearly autonomous. Faster quoting. Faster procurement. Full visibility. Real operational intelligence for the companies our nation depends on.

### Quick Facts

- YC W25 company. Top 5% growth in batch

- Raised $10M+ from investors including Paul Graham, SV Angel, Pear VC, and CRV

- Team of 20 co-live in our Warsaw & SF Hacker Houses

- 7 figure ARR transacting ~$50M a week through our system

### The Job

- **Go.** Fly out and plant yourself inside the customer's operation. Weekdays are onsite (Wisconsin, New York, Miami, Los Angeles); weekends we regroup at the SF HQ to debrief and keep building.

- **Understand.** Map how the company actually operates, from sales and supply chain teams to executives and CEOs. Learn the breakpoints choking their growth and speed.

- **Implement.** Configure automations within SP Studio tooling so the platform accurately reflects the customer's needs. Build trust and confidence in SalesPatriot.

- **Iterate.** Take ownership of customer implementation under the Lead FDE's guidance, learning how to scale impact. Keep finding and killing their most pressing problems, leading org-wide scaling, until SalesPatriot is the operating system their business runs on.

Work closely with your Lead FDE to navigate customer strategy, escalations, and org-wide issues.
