Team

The true challenge for global enterprises lies in production and scale. Generic AI models often fail because they lack context and cannot securely access siloed enterprise data. LumApps AI is a high‑velocity initiative focused on solving this “Last Mile Integration” problem, bridging our core platform and customer value.

Missions

• Embed with customers to map complex data environments and identify high‑friction business workflows, such as HR onboarding or IT support.
• Build proof‑of‑concept AI Agents and integrations using public APIs, webhooks, and LLMs that plan, decide, and act within the LumApps ecosystem.
• Architect the middleware and custom connectors required to bridge LumApps AI with systems such as SAP, Workday, or ServiceNow.
• Act as the vanguard for our Core R&D team, identifying systemic integration patterns in the field and contributing code to harden and evolve our core platform, as well as abstracting custom solutions into scalable, repeatable “Industry Vertical Packs.”
• Create plug‑and‑play integration templates, code snippets, and technical articles to showcase best practices and enable our broader ecosystem.

Skills

• 3+ years of engineering or technical deployment experience that includes customer‑facing work.
• A strong academic foundation in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related technical field, with demonstrated excellence in analytical thinking and software development.
• Get‑it‑done mindset: a strong bias for action and the ability to self‑prioritize in ambiguous, fast‑paced environments.
• Full‑stack fluency in Node.js, TypeScript, Java, or Python; comfortable with frontend frameworks like React and backend API design.
• Passion for emerging tech, specifically Generative AI, RAG architecture, AI frameworks, and agentic workflows.
• Full professional proficiency in English to communicate clearly with engineers, product teams, and customers.
• Willingness to travel approximately two weeks per quarter to work directly with customers on site.

• Consultant mindset: experience working directly with customers, understanding their needs and designing high‑value solutions to fulfill their expectations.
