<p><span style="font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;"><strong><span data-contrast="none"><span data-ccp-parastyle="heading 1">About Buzz Solutions</span></span></strong><span data-ccp-props="{"335559738":360,"335559739":140}"> </span></span></p> <p><span style="font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;"><span data-contrast="none">Buzz Solutions builds visual AI for the power grid. Our PowerAI platform turns utility inspection imagery — drone, helicopter, and fixed camera — into operational intelligence, analyzing an image in under a second instead of the one to two minutes it takes a human reviewer. We work across transmission, distribution, substations, and solar, helping some of the largest utilities in North America catch failing components before they become outages and compress inspection cycles that once ran for years.</span><span data-ccp-props="{"201341983":0,"335559739":160,"335559740":276}"> </span></span></p> <p><span style="font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;"><span data-contrast="none">We recently closed a $20M Series A to accelerate our products. We're an early growth-stage company with a small team and a problem that doesn't wait: load is growing, storm seasons keep arriving, and most of the largest machine ever built is still inspected by eye.</span><span data-ccp-props="{"201341983":0,"335559739":160,"335559740":276}"> </span></span></p> <p><span style="font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;"><strong><span data-contrast="none"><span data-ccp-parastyle="heading 1">About the Role</span></span></strong><span data-ccp-props="{"335559738":360,"335559739":140}"> </span></span></p> <p><span style="font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;"><span data-contrast="none">This is our first Forward Deployed Engineer — a hands-on technical partner embedded with customers and our go-to-market team, and a bridge between Sales, Product, and Engineering.</span><span data-ccp-props="{"201341983":0,"335559739":160,"335559740":276}"> </span></span></p> <p><span style="font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;"><span data-contrast="none">Before the deal, you're scoping: on discovery calls with utility engineering and operations teams, sizing what an implementation actually takes, running pilots, and clearing the technical objections that stall a sales cycle. After the deal, you're deploying: standing up PowerAI in customer environments, building the integrations into the systems they already use, and leaning on AI workflows to deliver in weeks what traditionally took months.</span><span data-ccp-props="{"201341983":0,"335559739":160,"335559740":276}"> </span></span></p> <p><span style="font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;"><strong><span data-contrast="none">This is a hands-on role, not a program or product management one.</span></strong><span data-contrast="none"> You'll be in the systems, writing the integration, and on the call with the customer's engineers. Nobody hands you a spec, and you don't hand one to someone else.</span><span data-ccp-props="{"201341983":0,"335559739":160,"335559740":276}"> </span></span></p> <p><span style="font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;"><span data-contrast="none">The role exists for two reasons. Our customers need a technical counterpart who can move at their pace and build alongside them. And the patterns you uncover in the field should make Buzz stronger: solve customer-specific
