Working in a hybrid model from Seattle, you'll have the opportunity to make a real impact across some of the most important industries globally. The role involves up to 25% travel to client sites, offering exposure to diverse business challenges. You'll be part of a culture that values individual strengths and provides multiple pathways to success, rather than traditional career ladders.

This position is ideal for someone who aspires to be an entrepreneur or engineering leader, offering hands-on experience with enterprise-scale problems and solutions. You'll work in a dynamic environment that requires both technical excellence and strong interpersonal skills, making it an excellent opportunity for professional growth and real-world impact.

The role combines technical challenges with business strategy, requiring someone who can code efficiently, think analytically, and communicate effectively with both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
