Job description
FDSEs work side by side with our customers, rapidly understanding their toughest issues; architecting and building solutions that leverage Simple AI’s best in class Voice AI to solve them. This role is perfect for builders and future or past founders who love the full cycle: spotting a problem, designing a solution, building it fast, and seeing the value it creates in the real world. You’ll collaborate directly with customer teams, ship code that matters from day one, and learn to adapt our platform in creative ways to solve high-stakes, high-impact problems. ### Why you’ll love it here * **Impact you can count:** your work shows up in weekly business reviews and customer KPIs. * **Scope and ownership:** zero layers between you, the problem, and the decision. * **Learning velocity:** exposure to ML, infra, security, product, and enterprise ops. ### **What We Require** * 1+ years of relevant, post-college work experience. * Strong engineering background, preferred in fields such as Computer Science, Mathematics, Software Engineering or Physics. * Strong coder with shown proficiency in programming languages such as Python, Java, C++, TypeScript/JavaScript, or similar. * Ability and interest to travel up to 25%, as needed to client sites, but flexible based on personal preferences. ###
