Customer-Facing Software Engineer

About the company

Our client is a fast-growing software company.

The role

Raydar is recruiting for this role on behalf of our client. Act as a hands-on engineer who works side by side with clients, learning how their business processes run and then building the connectors and server-side tooling that make automation work live. The job spans discovery, design, delivery and rollout, with periodic visits to client sites.

What you'll do

• Talk with clients to learn how their day-to-day business processes run, then shape those into well-structured technical solutions.
• Build connectors to large business software systems using APIs and data pipelines.
• Write server-side services and tailored automations in Python for individual clients.
• Collaborate with product and engineering peers to recognize recurring needs that belong in the shared platform.
• Contribute to early client conversations, rollout planning and occasional on-site working sessions, about once or twice a month.

Requirements

What we're looking for

• 5+ years of professional software development, with solid backend depth.
• Strong skills in Python, TypeScript or Rust, or similar backend technologies.
• Practical experience integrating with third-party APIs, business software or data pipelines.
• Experience releasing software in client environments across the whole stack, including infrastructure and deployment.
• Sound computer science grounding, including architecture decisions and weighing options across data stores and languages.
• Proven ability to define scope with clients or stakeholders and then build the solution on your own.
• Experience creating new, tailored workflow solutions from the ground up for clients.
• Everyday use of AI-assisted coding tools.
• A habit of probing assumptions and designing scalable systems when the problem is loosely defined.
• Experience at a respected technology company or a well-known high-growth startup.

Bonus points

• Experience building AI agents or releasing AI-powered features, whether at work or in personal projects.
