About the company

Our client is a software company.

The role

Raydar is recruiting for this role on behalf of our client. Work hands-on with business teams across several operating companies to understand their workflows and deliver AI-driven software into live use. Own delivery from discovery through launch and ongoing tuning, and serve as the main technical contact for business leaders.

What you'll do

  • Embed with operating businesses to learn how they work and identify the few workflows where automation will have the most impact.
  • Build integrations, prompts, evaluation tooling and user interfaces to launch a first automated workflow at each business.
  • Run and tune deployed systems after launch, adjusting levels of autonomy and handing off cleanly to the business team once stable.
  • Act as the trusted technical point of contact for senior business leaders, setting expectations and building confidence.
  • Capture lessons learned and turn them into reusable playbooks that speed up future deployments.

Requirements

What we're looking for

  • Roughly 3 to 6 years of engineering experience, with full-stack ability to own delivery end to end independently.
  • Proficiency in TypeScript or Python, React and SQL.
  • Experience shipping production LLM or agent-based software to external users, including evaluation, autonomy controls and outcome tracking.
  • A background working directly alongside customers or inside client teams as an engineer.
  • Strong tenure at a recognized early-stage or high-growth startup.
  • Hands-on use of AI dev tools and agents to automate manual work.
  • Strong executive presence and polished communication with senior business leaders.
  • Sound business instincts and the ability to shape open-ended business needs into well-defined engineering work.
  • Comfort travelling to client sites 2 to 3 days per week.
  • For candidates with under 2 years of experience, a technical degree from a top university.

Bonus points

  • Programming experience in Go and TypeScript.
  • Exposure to private equity, consulting or software operator environments.
  • Background as a founder or founding engineer.
  • Big Tech experience, particularly for new graduates.
