• Own end-to-end enterprise implementations: Build ambient agents inside enterprise customer environments, working directly in their infrastructure to prove out business value. • Build customer-specific integrations: Create GitHub Actions that run ambient agents with customer style guides, Jira bots that trigger locally-hosted agents, Slack integrations that let teams @mention Warpy to fix bugs or run workflows, and whatever else customers need to make ambient agents work in their stack. • Accelerate deals through technical execution: Turn pilot conversations into signed contracts by removing the implementation burden from customers who say 'this is great, we just don't have time to build it.' • Partner closely with Sales from discovery through implementation: Join customer calls from the very first discovery meeting to understand their technical environment and identify opportunities for ambient agents. Be the technical voice that helps scope what's possible and builds confidence in our solution. • Translate customer learnings back into product: Work closely with Engineering to share what you're learning in the field—which integrations should become first-party, what's blocking faster implementations, and where our platform needs to evolve. Your customer work should make the next implementation easier.
