Job description

The Mission America's industrial base runs on systems built in the 1980s. Billions of dollars in critical components (F-35 parts, industrial assemblies, electronics, bolts, and hoses) still move through email threads, excel sheets, and disconnected ERPs. We're replacing that with an AI-native platform that makes aerospace, electronics, industrial, and defense supply-chain operations nearly autonomous. Faster quoting. Faster procurement. Full visibility. Real operational intelligence for the companies our nation depends on. Quick Facts

  • YC W25 company. Top 5% growth in batch
  • Raised $10M+ from investors including Paul Graham, SV Angel, Pear VC, and CRV
  • Team of 20 co-live in our Warsaw & SF Hacker Houses
  • 7 figure ARR transacting ~$50M a week through our system

The Role

You'll lead our Warsaw engineering office, a team of about 10 full-stack engineers building the platform our customers quote and purchase on. You'll own hiring, delivery, and code quality, and you'll still write code. You'll work directly with the founders, our SF team, and our customers.

  • Full time, in person in our Warsaw office, five days onsite and one remote. This role runs on a 9-9-6 schedule.
  • Lead and grow a team of about 10 engineers.
  • Set technical direction for a SaaS product deployed to customers internationally.
  • Up to one week of international travel per quarter (SF HQ and customer sites).

What We’re Looking For

  • 10+ years of genuine full-stack experience.
  • 5+ years leading engineering teams of around 10 people, ideally in Poland.
  • You've built and run internationally deployed SaaS.
  • You work at the frontier of AI coding and push your team to do the same.
  • Fluent English.
  • You're comfortable working for founders in their early twenties.
  • Series A to C startup experience, client-facing work, or time working outside Poland are all a plus.

The Process Initial call with engineer → Technical screening → Quick call with founder → fly out to SF/Warsaw HQ for onsite (on us) → offer.

Why work at SalesPatriot

  • Mission-Driven Impact: Work on a problem that genuinely matters—securing critical supply chains for the US and its allies. Your code directly impacts national readiness.
  • Rapid, Tangible Results: New hires ship code to production within days, not quarters. Short feedback loops with real customers mean your work has immediate, visible impact.
  • High-Caliber Team: Join a small, highly selective team ("nobody likes B players") where you'll learn from top performers from MIT, DARPA, and premier venture funds.
  • Meaningful Equity: As an early-stage company on a hyper-growth trajectory, early employees receive significant equity ownership.
  • Culture of Autonomy: The team values builders who "figure it out without a spec" and "care more about the problem than the title." It's a high-trust, high-autonomy environment.
  • Work Environment: Office-first, in-person culture with two hubs (San Francisco and Warsaw). There is also a "co-living in hacker house" option, emphasizing a tight-knit, intense team culture.
