Location
Singapore, on-site. Singapore Citizens and Permanent Residents only.
Company Description
The client is backed by top-tier Silicon Valley investors and is expanding across the world: live in 35+ countries with around 650 people, and a local team in every market it deploys in. It helps large enterprises accelerate AI adoption to unlock their full potential, combining a complete AI operating system with local deployment teams that get AI into production quickly. It reached a $5B valuation in under two years, on more than $800M raised — its valuation went from $2B to $5B in the last six months alone. Singapore is its APAC hub, and this is the engineer the customer sees: the one who makes the product real in production.
What You'll Do
This is not traditional product engineering. You are paired directly with enterprise teams: you learn their workflows, design the AI solution, and build the agents that go into production.
- Partner with customers to find the operational problems worth solving.
- Turn complex, ambiguous problems into technical designs, then implement them.
- Deliver the platform on the customer's side, guiding them on best practices.
- Build AI agents integrated with customer systems and APIs.
- Run workshops with client teams.
- Write production-grade code for integrations and workflows.
- Manage deployments with reliability and performance as your responsibility.
- Test against real data and iterate fast.
- Work with the internal Product and Engineering teams, and contribute back to shared tools and documentation.
Who You Are
- Singapore Citizen or Permanent Resident.
- 4+ years of hands-on software engineering, with production systems you built and scaled.
- Platform integration experience: APIs, cloud infrastructure, MCP, data flows.
- Strong technical problem-solving, and comfortable in front of customers owning an ambiguous problem.
- Excellent communication and a high-ownership mindset.
- Fluent English, written and spoken.
- Team-first: this is a small, low-ego, ship-fast team, and chemistry weighs as heavily as competence.
- Great if you have: forward-deployed or solutions engineering background; AI agent or automation work; fast-growth startup experience; cloud fluency; TypeScript, Go, or Python.
Why Join
- You are the technical owner of the account, not a ticket in someone's backlog. First call to production is yours.
- APAC hub seat: Singapore-based, with exposure across the region.
- Join a company that went from zero to a $2B valuation in 13 months.
- Enterprise AI at the moment it actually lands in production, with 40+ locations already live.
