Safi’s mission is to make circular economy firms more profitable through the deployment of AI Technology. We do that by developing foundational models, software and data connectors. In this role you will deploy our technology with customers and help them use it to improve their plants. Our customers are industrial recyclers of plastic and metals - manufacturers, processors, smelters. These firms are held back by limited, legacy technology. Our current customers include one of the world’s largest recycling plants and a group that processes the entire plastic waste stream of a major developed nation. We need an experienced Staff Software Engineer / Tech Lead to deeply understand these plants and help us automate and improve them. Not via management, but via shipped work, the architecture you set, and the questions you ask in PRs and design reviews. Are excited about deploying technology at real-world industrial sites. Can take a problem from "I saw something that could be improved at a plant" to a shipped feature in our app deploying at the plant, end-to-end, within a sprint or two. Are interested in commercial questions (how much do we charge for this?), deployment (what's the right UI for forklift engineers wearing gloves?) and AI/ML (what can we build that is 10x better than their current ERP process?). Can work shoulder-to-shoulder with our ML team. You don't train models but turn their outputs into something a forklift driver and a procurement manager both want to use. You have led multiple user-facing projects end-to-end, and can scope and define projects for others to work on alongside you.
