Position Mandate

Embed directly with strategic customers to deploy Camio platform into complex environments, write production code to bridge gaps, and solve high-stakes challenges where standard solutions fail. Act as the technical face of Camio and the customer's most trusted partner at the intersection of product engineering, technical consulting, and business strategy.

Candidate Profile

Must Have

• Full-stack generalist who can architect solutions, write integration code, debug deployment issues, and optimize database queries.
• Thrives with autonomy in ambiguity, translating customer outcomes into technical solutions without constant direction.
• Product intuition to distinguish between custom solutions and platform features.
• Can explain technical tradeoffs to executives, debug with IT teams, and present ROI to procurement.
• Commercial instincts to recognize revenue opportunities and frame expansion opportunities to stakeholders.

Nice to Have

• Direct experience in GxP-compliant environments (pharma, biotech, med device) with validation requirements, change control, and audit trails.
• Technical consulting or professional services experience as a trusted technical advisor embedded with enterprise customers.

About the Role

Camio exists to solve the hardest operational problems in environments where precision, compliance, and speed matter every day. We transform visual data into real-time operational intelligence for industries where human performance and product quality are non-negotiable. From pharmaceutical clean rooms to critical assembly lines, our platform turns visual data into operational intelligence that prevents losses, ensures compliance, and drives efficiency.

What You’ll Do

• Embed & Execute: Integrate closely with customer teams to deploy Camio’s platform, acting as the primary technical representative to ensure successful deployment.
• Code for Production: Write robust, scalable code (Python, Kubernetes, or similar tools) to build custom integrations, data pipelines, and extensions.
• The Strategic Bridge: Translate customer friction points into technical specifications for our Product team.
• Solve the "Last Mile": Ensure the solution actually solves the business problem, not just the technical one.

What We’re Looking For

• Full-Stack Generalist Mindset: Comfortable working with Python, containerized services, cloud-native architectures, and modern integration frameworks.
• Autonomy in Ambiguity: Thrive with customer outcomes rather than strict specifications.
• Product Intuition: Distinguish between custom solutions and platform features.
• Communication & Trust-Building: Build trust with various stakeholders.
• Commercial Instincts: Identify broader value opportunities in partnership with the account team.

Preferred Qualifications

• Regulated Manufacturing Experience: Experience in regulated environments, particularly with GxP validation and compliance processes.
• Technical Consulting or Professional Services: Experience managing implementations as a trusted technical advisor.

What a Typical Month Looks Like

• Week 1: Design integration architecture for a new pharmaceutical customer.
• Week 2: Build production code for custom data pipeline integrations.
• Week 3: On-site visit to commission the deployment and troubleshoot edge cases.
• Week 4: Document deployment patterns and present a "lessons learned" session to shape roadmap priorities.

Before You Apply

• Are you comfortable with the ambiguity of "make it work" rather than strict specs?
• Can you context-switch between technical tasks and executive presentations?
• Do you enjoy solving customer problems?
• Are you willing to travel for customer engagements?
