Member of Deployed Staff – Engineering Consultant

About the role

Factory builds the platform for self-improving software development, used by large enterprise engineering teams to ship code, review PRs, run tests and deploy continuously. It is hiring Members of Deployed Staff to solve engineering problems alongside its customers, using Factory to deliver projects such as migrations, large-scale refactors, federated systems, agent harness engineering and security remediation. Candidates own scoped technical projects from discovery through implementation, validation and handoff.

Key responsibilities

• Work with customer engineers and leaders to identify a concrete problem, define scope and agree on success criteria.
• Build and deliver solutions in customer codebases and environments, using Factory to accelerate the work.
• Design integrations with customers' development tools, infrastructure and agent harnesses.
• Diagnose failures across unfamiliar codebases, build systems and production environments.
• Validate changes through tests, evaluations and rollout plans, and own delivery milestones and risk communication.
• Leave customers with working software and a clear operational handoff, and turn successful implementations into reusable tools, reference integrations and guides.
• Bring reproducible issues and field-tested recommendations back to Factory's Product and Engineering teams.

Required profile

• A technical engineering background, typically in software, infrastructure, platform, mobile or security engineering.
• Ability to read unfamiliar code, make changes, debug failures and validate results.
• Experience taking an ambiguous technical problem through to a delivered outcome.
• Clear communication with engineers and non-technical stakeholders, including explaining trade-offs and setting realistic expectations.
• Additional experience in tech lead or product management roles is a plus.

Nice to have

• Migrations of applications, databases, cloud infrastructure, ERP systems or legacy platforms, including validation and cutover.
• Refactoring complex codebases, architectures, frameworks or APIs while preserving required behavior.
• Federated systems and on-premises deployments across infrastructure, identity, networking and security boundaries.
• iOS / Android mobile app shipping, including platform-specific development, build systems, testing and release workflows.
• Federal or public sector delivery, including security, authorization and operational requirements.
• Agent harness engineering and application or infrastructure security, vulnerability remediation and secure development workflows.

This is a hybrid role based in San Francisco, New York, London, Washington DC, Australia or Singapore, with customer travel typically about once a month, mostly within your region.
