ABOUT PELICO

Traditional industrial manufacturing systems were built for predictability. Supply chains no longer are. Today, real-time data is buried in legacy tools that weren't designed for constant disruption. By the time an issue surfaces, it has already snowballed, sending everyone into firefighting mode. Pelico exists to close the gap between production plans and the daily reality on the factory floor.

We've built the manufacturing orchestration platform trusted by the world's most complex industrial operations : companies like Airbus, Boeing, Safran, Eaton, and Cartier. Our AI connects fragmented supply chain, production, and quality data into a single live operational picture — then puts AI agents to work anticipating disruptions, simulating recovery options, and keeping every team aligned before small problems become expensive ones.

Founded in 2019 and backed by General Catalyst, 83North, and Serena, we've raised $72M and are growing fast — 300% year-over-year revenue growth, deployed in 15+ countries, and supporting factories worldwide. We're headquartered in Paris, with offices in Miami, London and Amsterdam, and we're just getting started.

This is a rare chance to join a company that's redefining an industry that hasn't been disrupted in decades — from the inside.

ABOUT THE ROLE

We’re looking for a VP of Field Engineering to lead and scale the organization responsible for turning Pelico’s technology into measurable outcomes for customers.

This leader will oversee Forward Deployed Engineering and Tech Delivery teams, partnering with global manufacturers to deploy AI-powered operational workflows in some of the most complex production environments in the world. Sitting at the intersection of Product, Engineering, and Customer Operations, they will help define how Pelico's platform scales across customers while building the teams and operating model required for the company's next stage of growth.

The ideal candidate brings a rare combination of technical depth, customer leadership, and operational excellence, with the ability to navigate conversations ranging from AI architecture and data systems to executive strategy and organizational design.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

- Lead and scale Pelico’s Field Engineering organization, bringing together Tech Delivery and Forward Deployed Engineering under unified leadership

- Own senior technical customer relationships across enterprise accounts, partnering directly with IT executives, architects, and operational stakeholders

- Oversee complex enterprise deployments and integrations across manufacturing, supply chain, and operational systems

- Drive operational excellence across deployment quality, scalability, reliability, and customer technical success

- Partner cross-functionally with Product, Engineering, and Customer Operations to ensure seamless delivery and continuous product improvement

- Build scalable processes, tooling, and organizational structure to support rapid company growth and increasingly complex customer environments

- Recruit, mentor, and develop high-performing technical leaders and customer-facing engineering teams

- Act as a strategic escalation point for critical customer technical issues and complex implementation challenges

- Support security, infrastructure, and compliance initiatives as the organization scales, including potential involvement in FedRAMP-related processes

ABOUT YOU

- 12+ years of experience leading technical customer-facing organizations within enterprise software, AI, infrastructure, data platforms, or industrial technology companies

- Proven experience managing and scaling multiple technical functions, such as Forward Deployed Engineering, DevOps, Solutions Architecture, Technical Delivery, or Customer Engineering

- Experience designing, building, shipping, and operating production-grade software systems end-to-end

- Experience creating, deploying, and maintaining LLM-powered applications and AI agents in production environments

- Experience building and owning data pipelines across the full data lifecycle, from ingestion and transformation through orchestration and monitoring

- Strong technical foundation in software architecture, cloud infrastructure, enterprise integrations, and operational platforms

- Experience with Python, SQL, PostgreSQL, Docker, and Apache Airflow

- Experience deploying complex technical systems into enterprise customer environments and driving measurable operational outcomes

- Comfortable operating across both executive-level customer conversations and deeply technical architecture discussions

- Proven ability to build high-performing teams, scale technical organizations, and establish operational rigor in high-growth environments

- Strong engineering instincts with a focus on code quality, reliability, scalability, and long-term maintainability

- Exceptional communication and stakeholder management skills across technical and non-technical audiences

- You actively leverage modern AI tools and workflows in your day-to-day work and are excited about the practical application of AI systems in enterprise environments

NICE TO HAVE

- Experience within manufacturing, aerospace & defense, supply chain, industrial software, or operational technology environments

- Background in Forward Deployed Engineering, Customer Engineering, Technical Delivery, or enterprise AI deployments

- Familiarity with security and compliance frameworks such as FedRAMP

- Experience operating within high-growth startup environments

- Experience with Java

Why it works

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
