Forward-Deployed Software Engineer (Electrical Software Platform)

Location: Indianapolis, IN or Charlotte, NC (on-site with key customer). Open to candidates willing to relocate or spend significant time on-site.

Type: Full-time

Compensation: Competitive compensation + milestone-based bonuses

About Condoit

Condoit is the system of record for electrical distribution infrastructure. Our software platform creates efficiency and customer loyalty for electrical contractors, clarity and simplicity for electricians, and safe and reliable electrical systems for facility managers and property owners.

About the Role

This is a forward-deployed engineering role embedded with one of the largest electrical contractors in the country. You will sit where the work actually happens – alongside the engineers, estimators, and field crews using our platform – and build the software that makes their work dramatically faster.

This is not a ticket-queue job. You will find the friction yourself by watching real work, then design, build, and ship the thing that removes it, often inside the same week. Some of what you build will be integrations and data pipelines specific to this customer. Some will become core product. You will have unusual latitude to decide which.

We are looking for an engineer who is energized rather than unsettled by messy real-world data, who can hold a conversation with an electrician and a database in the same hour, and who ships.

What you’ll do

Build in the field

• Embed with the customer, observe real workflows, and translate what you see directly into working software
• Own features end-to-end: spec, build, ship, validate in the field, iterate
• Build data ingestion and transformation pipelines that turn legacy materials – PDFs, scanned drawings, spreadsheets, tribal knowledge – into structured, trustworthy asset data

Engineer for real conditions

• Design for offline-first, low-connectivity, and field-hostile conditions; assume dirty inputs and imperfect capture
• Build AI/ML-assisted workflows (OCR, extraction, classification, agentic tooling) and – critically – the validation layers that make their output safe to rely on
• Write the automated checks that keep correctness from regressing as the system grows

Close the loop

• Turn one-off customer solutions into durable product where the pattern generalizes
• Partner with the forward-deployed PM on requirements, acceptance criteria, and rollout
• Instrument what you ship and use adoption and error data to decide what to build next

Qualifications

• 5+ years building and shipping production software
• Strong full-stack capability: TypeScript/JavaScript and React or React Native, a backend language, and SQL
• Comfortable owning a feature from ambiguous problem statement to deployed, adopted software with no one specifying it for you
• Experience with data pipelines, integrations, or document/data ingestion at real-world messiness
• Excellent communication with non-engineers; you can sit with a foreman and leave with a spec
• High tolerance for ambiguity, and a bias toward shipping and iterating over waiting for certainty

Preferred

• Electrical background or adjacent experience (single-line diagrams, riser diagrams, equipment naming conventions, arc flash and NEC context)
• OCR / ML-assisted extraction, computer vision, or LLM-agent tooling in production
• Mobile development, especially offline-first sync
• Experience as an early engineer at a startup, or in a forward-deployed / solutions-engineering role
• Comfort working on-site with customers
• Experience with developing or running software quality programs
