About the Role

We're looking for a Forward Deployed Software Engineer who thrives at the intersection of cutting-edge AI technology and real-world enterprise software challenges. You'll embed directly with our customer's engineering team, helping them revolutionize their software development with Blitzy.

This isn't a typical solutions engineer role. You'll write production code, architect solutions, and work shoulder-to-shoulder with customer engineering teams to deliver transformative outcomes. You're equally comfortable debugging a complex integration, participating in sprint planning, or whiteboarding architecture with a CTO.

Responsibilities

Deploy Blitzy into complex enterprise environments, navigating technical constraints and working directly with customer engineering teams to deliver immediate value

Embed with customer teams during critical implementations, serving as a technical co-pilot across sprint planning, architecture reviews, and technical decision-making

Translate ambitious business and executive goals into concrete technical implementations, building custom integrations, extensions, and solutions using Blitzy's AI capabilities

Write production-quality code that integrates Blitzy with existing enterprise systems, while developing reusable patterns, scripts, and tools that accelerate customer adoption

Debug complex issues spanning customer infrastructure and the Blitzy platform, and create technical demos that showcase advanced use cases and demonstrate customer value

Drive successful POCs that expand into enterprise-wide deployments, while identifying expansion opportunities based on technical insights and customer needs

Become a trusted technical advisor to engineering leaders, earning their confidence through hands-on expertise and the ability to translate technical possibilities into business outcomes

Decompose executive vision into actionable engineering roadmaps and identify recurring customer patterns that influence product priorities and roadmap decisions

Collaborate with our product and engineering teams to turn field experience into platform improvements, technical documentation, reusable best practices, and contributions to the core Blitzy platform

Qualification

4+ years of software engineering experience with a track record of shipping production code

Fluency in multiple programming languages, including Python, JavaScript/TypeScript, Java, Go, or C#

Strong understanding of modern software development practices, including CI/CD, microservices, cloud architecture, and Agile/Scrum

Experience with enterprise software development lifecycles, Jira, legacy system modernization, and large-scale migrations

Proven ability to navigate complex technical environments and build strong relationships with technical and business stakeholders

Strong communication skills, with the ability to explain complex technical concepts to audiences ranging from interns to CTOs

Experience in customer-facing engineering, high-growth startups, AI/ML, developer tools, or enterprise modernization is a plus

Track record of technical thought leadership through blogs, talks, or open-source contributions is a plus

Passion for the future of AI-powered software development

This role follows a hybrid working model, with requirements to be on-site with the customer 3 days per week and at Blitzy headquarters (1 Kendall Square, Cambridge) 2 days per week.
