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.

What We’re Looking For

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.

The Process

Call with engineer → 1hr technical test → Call with founder → fly out to SF HQ (on us) → offer.
