Our platform’s unprecedented level of efficiency enables IoT devices to intelligently capture and curate first-party data to drive the next major computing revolution

• Define and improve internal and external processes for software delivery, testing, and documentation.
• Customer & Field Engagement
• Serve as a subject matter expert in customer engagements, articulating the technical details of Efficient’s software platform.
• Translate technical feedback from customers and solutions teams into actionable product requirements.
• Growth & Strategy
• Contribute to Efficient’s overall software and go-to-market research, working on market analyses that feed into technical strategy.
• Own long-term scaling initiatives, including developer ecosystem expansion, field enablement, and support for new business models.
• Champion customer-centric thinking and help drive platform adoption across a range of verticals.
  

Required Qualifications & Experience

• Deep understanding of compilers, runtime environments, and developer tools.
• Ability to manage and prioritize cross-functional projects in a fast-moving and ambiguous environment.
• Excellent technical communication and stakeholder management skills.
  

Bonus Qualifications

• Experience with software platforms for compute hardware (e.g., GPUs, ASICs, FPGAs, AI accelerators).
