Responsibilities
Own customer deployments end-to-end: run discovery, define success metrics, and deliver pilots that convert to expansion
Build and integrate for real environments: implement adapters, webhooks, and APIs (e.g., iManage/NetDocs, SharePoint, Outlook, Word add-ins); wire up SSO/SAML/OIDC and tenant isolation
Create reusable product: transform bespoke integrations into configurable modules, SDKs, templates, and internal playbooks
Accelerate time-to-value: remove bottlenecks (data migrations, redlines, policy constraints) so pilots deliver results in weeks, not months
Qualification
Required
2+ years building production software (full-stack or platform); you're comfortable reading unfamiliar APIs and shipping in messy real-world stacks
Proficiency with TypeScript/JavaScript (React/Next.js for light UI surfaces) and at least one backend language (e.g., Python) for integrations and automations
Bias to ship: you favor the smallest change that proves value, instrument it, and iterate quickly
Comfortable in an early-stage environment with ownership, ambiguity, and rapid iteration
Light travel to customer sites as needed
