Raydar is recruiting for this role on behalf of our client. Lead customer onboarding projects from initial build through launch, mixing hands-on coding with frequent client interaction.

What we're looking for:
- Clear communication with customers and senior executives, able to explain technical work in plain terms, earn trust and guide decisions.* Solid software engineering background, including full stack JavaScript/TypeScript and server-side frameworks.* History of taking real products to production, whether at an early-stage company, through substantial side projects or by starting a business.* Ability to convert unclear or non-technical requests into precise, testable specifications.* Comfort owning a customer project from development to go-live with little support staff.* Hands-on prompt engineering experience.* Native-level English (US or Canada).
