## The job description from Blitzy

Posted by Blitzy on May 26, 2026

Blitzy is a Cambridge, MA based AI software development platform on a mission to revolutionize the software development life cycle by autonomously building custom software to unlock the next industrial revolution. We're transforming how enterprises build software, turning enterprise requirements into enterprise grade code with an agentic software development platform that can autonomously execute 80% of the quantum of software development work. We're backed by multiple tier 1 investors, and have proven success as founders of previous start-ups.

### Our Culture

### Who we are

Led by two pioneering co-founders we are one of the fastest growing companies in the U.S., creating our own category of enterprise autonomous software development. We automate thousands of hours of software development for our customers, which includes strong representation within the Fortune 500.

### How we work

- **We move Blitzy Fast:** Time is both our company’s and our clients’ most precious asset. We move quickly and decisively to innovate internally and deliver exceptional software externally.
- **Championship Mindset: **We operate like a professional sports team. We win as a team by holding ourselves and each other to high standards, collaborating in-person, and remaining focused on the mission.
- **Passion for Invention:** We’re pushing the frontier of what’s possible, requiring constant innovation and iteration.
- **We Work for the Customer:** We focus on delivering outsized value to the customers we work with and expanding those relationships into deep, meaningful partnerships.

### About the Role

We're looking for a Forward Deployed Software Engineer who thrives at the intersection of cutting-edge AI technology and real-world enterprise software challenges. You'll embed directly with our customer's engineering team, helping them revolutionize their software development with Blitzy.

This isn't a typical solutions engineer role. You'll write production code, architect solutions, and work shoulder-to-shoulder with customer engineering teams to deliver transformative outcomes. You're equally comfortable debugging a complex integration, participating in sprint planning, or whiteboarding architecture with a CTO.

### Responsibilities

- Deploy Blitzy into complex enterprise environments, navigating technical constraints and working directly with customer engineering teams to deliver immediate value
- Embed with customer teams during critical implementations, serving as a technical co-pilot across sprint planning, architecture reviews, and technical decision-making
- Translate ambitious business and executive goals into concrete technical implementations, building custom integrations, extensions, and solutions using Blitzy's AI capabilities
- Write production-quality code that integrates Blitzy with existing enterprise systems, while developing reusable patterns, scripts, and tools that accelerate customer adoption
- Debug complex issues spanning customer infrastructure and the Blitzy platform, and create technical demos that showcase advanced use cases and demonstrate customer value
- Drive successful POCs that expand into enterprise-wide deployments, while identifying expansion opportunities based on technical insights and customer needs
- Become a trusted technical advisor to engineering leaders, earning their confidence through hands-on expertise and the ability to translate technical possibilities into business outcomes
- Decompose executive vision into actionable engineering roadmaps and identify recurring customer patterns that influence product priorities and roadmap decisions
- Collaborate with our product and engineering teams to turn field experience into platform improvements, technical documentation, reusable best practices, and contributions to the core Blitzy platform

### Qualification

- 4+ years of software engineering experience with a track record of shipping production code

- Fluency in multiple programming languages, including Python, JavaScript/TypeScript, Java, Go, or C#
- Strong understanding of modern software development practices, including CI/CD, microservices, cloud architecture, and Agile/Scrum
- Experience with enterprise software development lifecycles, Jira, legacy system modernization, and large-scale migrations
- Proven ability to navigate complex technical environments and build strong relationships with technical and business stakeholders
- Strong communication skills, with the ability to explain complex technical concepts to audiences ranging from interns to CTOs
- Experience in customer-facing engineering, high-growth startups, AI/ML, developer tools, or enterprise modernization is a plus
- Track record of technical thought leadership through blogs, talks, or open-source contributions is a plus
- Passion for the future of AI-powered software development
- This role follows a hybrid working model, with requirements to be on-site with the customer 3 days per week and at Blitzy headquarters (1 Kendall Square, Cambridge) 2 days per week.

* **Compensation: $130,000 - $215,000 + Bonus + Equity***
