FORWARD-DEPLOYED ENGINEER - MONQ

We are looking for brilliant engineers to join our team at Monq. We’re pushing the boundaries of AI with next-generation agentic systems that can autonomously negotiate high-value enterprise contracts. We’re focusing on a $4.2 trillion market of strategic procurement that has been largely untouched by AI innovation.
Our mission is to transform how enterprises negotiate their most critical deals, turning strategic procurement from a manual, gut-driven process into a competitive advantage powered by intelligent AI agents.

ESSENTIAL QUALIFICATIONS:

• Professional Experience: 5+ years of professional software-engineering experience, ideally in enterprise B2B environments
• Programming Skills: Fluent in Python and comfortable in TypeScript/JavaScript for full-stack development
• Data Systems Expertise: Built and operated data-intensive systems (batch & streaming) in cloud environments (AWS, GCP, or Azure)
• Database Knowledge: Know your way around relational, columnar, and KV/graph databases—and when to use which for enterprise procurement data

ENTERPRISE INTEGRATION EXPERIENCE:

• Real-World Enterprise Integration: Integrated with enterprise stacks—authentication, SSO, legacy ERPs, message queues, ETL tools, particularly in procurement or finance domains
• Solution Architecture: Can take a loosely defined procurement problem, sketch an architecture, and deliver a production-ready solution in weeks, not months
• Stakeholder Communication: Communicate clearly with both engineers and business stakeholders; you enjoy hopping on a customer call with procurement executives to debug an API contract

PROFESSIONAL SKILLS:

• High-Ownership Environment: Thrive in an early-stage, high-ownership environment—prototype today, deploy tomorrow, iterate next week
• Enterprise Security Understanding: Experience with enterprise-grade security, compliance, and audit requirements
• Customer-Facing Capability: Comfortable working directly with Fortune 500 procurement teams and understanding complex business requirements

AI & DOMAIN EXPERIENCE:

• LLM Integration Experience: Experience deploying or consuming LLM-powered services (OpenAI, open-source models, RAG, vector stores) can be a bonus. However, we consider many great candidates without previous AI experience
• Procurement Domain Knowledge: Familiarity with strategic procurement, contract negotiation, vendor management, or enterprise sourcing domains
• Document Processing: Experience with complex document parsing, contract analysis, or legal/procurement document workflows

ADVANCED TECHNICAL SKILLS:

• Multi-Agent Systems: Understanding of AI agent coordination and autonomous system design
• Enterprise Architecture: Experience with large-scale enterprise software architecture and integration patterns
• Business Intelligence: Background in building analytics and reporting systems for executive-level decision making
