Field Development Engineer

About The Role Embed with industrial customers on-site, map their operations, configure the AI platform, and own their outcomes — for a YC W25 supply chain startup replacing 1980s infrastructure. SF, on-site. 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, 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 Paul Graham, SV Angel, Pear VC, and CRV Team of 20 co-living in Warsaw & SF Hacker Houses 7-figure ARR transacting ~$50M a week through our system The role 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 full ownership of the customer's outcome. Keep finding and killing their most pressing problems, leading org-wide scaling, until SalesPatriot is the operating system their business runs on.
