Forward Deployed Engineer

We're looking for an engineer who loves working with customers and helping them succeed. If you find it exciting to connect disparate systems together and architecting solutions that scale, you’ll love working at Minicor.

Why work at Minicor?

At Minicor, we're unblocking one of the last bottlenecks for AI to enter the enterprise.

Most critical workflows still run on legacy Windows desktop systems with no APIs, where the only way to integrate is by interacting with the UI like a human would.

We’re building the infrastructure to make integrating with these systems reliable at scale, so AI can actually run inside them in production.

The role:

• Work directly with customers to scope technical solutions and get them to production (and more importantly to scale)
• Build automations on VMs that are running legacy software through our platform and deploy our AI agents for self-healing
• Architect middlewares that sit between our platform and the legacy systems, handling caching, data reads, and hydration jobs so that automations run with the lowest latency possible
• Figure out solutions to weird problems (how do you reliably write to a system that was only meant to be interacted with by humans? how do you break up workflows to survive thousands of runs per day?)
• Feed everything you learn from customers back into the product!

What we're looking for:

• At least 2-3 years of professional experience working directly with customers in a technical capacity
• Experience building and maintaining full stack applications at scale
• You've gotten customers live before and you know what that actually takes
• You like talking to people and you're good at it

How we work:

• Ship small high impact features that are low effort, high value!
• We interact with critical legacy software, a big part of our job is being crafty about building solutions to read and write to them at scale
• Customers are deeply embedded in how we build product
• No ego. We respect everyone on the team, hold each other accountable, have high expectations for each other, work hard, but are understanding that there is life outside of work
• We deliver everything for our customer, have a lot of fun in the process, and don't take ourselves too seriously

Onboarding:

In your first few weeks at Minicor, you'll jump straight into a go-live process happening with one of our customers. By the first 30 days, you'll have implemented legacy system integration alongside our customers' engineers and have brought it into production.

After this, you will help that customer bring it to scale and roll it out to more of their end users. Within the first 90 days, you will have enough knowledge to start making product feature changes that will be shipped directly into production to help speed you and other engineers who are helping end customers get live faster.

If this sounds interesting, we'd love to meet with you!

Interview Process

1. A brief call with the CEO to talk about experience working with customers
2. A brief call with the broader non-technical team to talk more about your experience
3. A system design interview with the CTO and our founding engineer on architecting an RPA solution for a mock customer.

The most important thing here is for us to get an understanding of you as a person and what you’re passionate about. Please tell us about hard problems you’ve encountered - it’s awesome when we just get into a candid conversations here.

After this:

• We prefer a short contract-to-hire where we ship something together (ideally two weeks, but we're flexible if you're currently working somewhere)

This is just as much for you to assess us as it is for us to assess you. We really want to make sure this is the best place for you to succeed at.
