Software Engineer, Integrations

About the role

A FOUNDATIONAL COMPANY

Rilla is on a mission to index the offline world.

Today, we’ve built the leading sales coaching software for organizations doing sales offline. We have over 1000 customers, including The Home Depot, KKR, Neighborly, and PulteGroup, using our product to enable AI sales coaching across their organization.

We are backed by Google Ventures, Bessemer Ventures, Crew Capital, and Broom Ventures, along with others.

We’re an in office team in NYC with builders who operate like high speed reinforcement learners. We obsess over our customers, move at a high velocity, are not afraid of failure, and look to maximize our real-world impact.

If you want to build the products and systems for how billions of conversations in the real world are captured and indexed, Rilla is the place to do it.

THE ROLE

Forward Deployed Engineers (FDEs) work directly with customers to quickly understand their greatest problems and design and implement solutions integrating their data with Rilla's conversational intelligence. You’ll apply your problem solving ability, creativity, and technical skills to help organizations use their data to drive a real impact in the world. You’ll have the opportunity to gain rare insight into and contribute to the most critical industries of the offline world.

The role is strikingly similar to those of a startup CTO: you’ll work in small teams, often solo, and own end-to-end execution of high stakes projects. A day might span discussing data models and workflows with customer executives , wrangling massive-scale data, hacking an integration or full-stack feature, and bringing insights back to the rest of the team.

You will be on the forefront of extending Rilla’s existing footprint and strategy into new markets and problem spaces.

Do you aspire to be a founder or a leader in applying AI to the physical world? We believe Rilla is the best place — with the best peers — to learn how.

TECHNOLOGIES WE USE

- Different backend languages, including Typescript and Python

- Open-source technologies like Node.js, Turborepo, Lodash, and Zod

- Industry-standard build tooling, including GitHub Actions, Terraform, and Spacelift

WHAT WE VALUE

- An infinite learner. Someone who is relentless in their curiosity.

- A customer obsessive. Someone who deeply care about delighting customers and solving real pains, not vanity metrics.

- A winning attitude. You thrive with extreme accountability, learning as a team, and both giving and receiving rapid feedback.

- Extreme empathy. Our customers are not tech companies. They live and work in the real world. Empathy is critical to arriving at correct solutions.

- Unafraid of failure. You take risks. You see failure as an opportunity to learn, grow, and be better the next time. In a weird way, you trick your brain into being excited when you fail, because it means you got a new opportunity to learn more.
