- Diagnose and resolve data-model, integration, and workflow issues quickly, maintaining deployed systems.
- Partner directly with the customer's AI, automation, deal, and operations leaders, acting as their trusted technical advisor.
- Translate field insights into clear product direction, influencing Metal's roadmap and creating repeatable deployment frameworks.
Requirements
- 3 to 5+ years of experience building and operating production software systems end to end.
- Comfortable working full-stack and handling complex integrations.
