# Forward Deployed Engineer - Company: [Salespatriot]() - Location: San Francisco - Team: Core Team - Employment type: Full Time - Posted: May 25, 2026 ## Job description # **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 defense, aerospace, and industrial 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+ on a hyper-growth trajectory. * Backed by Paul Graham, SV Angel, Pear VC, and CRV * Team of 17 Co-live in our Warsaw & SF Hacker Houses * 7 figure ARR transacting ~50M a week through our system # **The Job** 1. **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. 2. **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. 3. **Implement.** Configure automations within SP Studio tooling so the platform accurately reflects the customer's needs. Build trust and confidence in SalesPatriot. 4. **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. # **What We’re Looking For** * Absolute grinder. Interested in co-living (though not required). * Ready to relocate to SF full-time. **This is not a remote role.** * Comfortable with ambiguity and rapid change. * Track record of shipping fast. * Full-stack beyond code: comfortable jumping between frontend, backend, and organizational politics — earning trust with procurement specialists while navigating executive priorities and IT constraints. * Motivated by taking an unknown problem, sinking your teeth in, and coming up with a plan of attack. * Proficiency in TypeScript, JavaScript, and at least one frontend library (React, Svelte, Next etc). * Be ready to show us at least one full-stack project you've shipped (GitHub repo / web app / Loom demo video). * Knowledge of SQL databases, preferably Postgres. * Personable: clients trust you, like you, and look forward to your updates. You handle the conversation and the code. * Low ego, curiosity, and intellectual honesty — focused on outcomes, not "being right." # **The Process** 30 min intro call → Technical test → 15 min call with founder → fly out to SF HQ (on us) → offer. # ## Apply [Apply on Salespatriot]() Canonical job page:
