Customer-Facing Engineer

About KRON Development:

KRON Development is a software studio based in Osaka, working with clients across Europe and the Middle East - and now expanding in the US. For 7+ years we’ve shipped web, mobile, and AI products for startups and enterprises. You can learn more about us at www.krondev.com.

​

The Role:

We’re looking for an experienced Software Engineer with native-level English who enjoys talking with clients just as much as talking about code.

This is a part-time, fully remote contractor role where you’ll be the bridge between our clients and our engineering team. You’ll join calls, clarify what needs to be built, and keep non-technical stakeholders confidently in the loop. It’s a good fit if you want to stay close to real-world software projects without taking on another full-time engineering job.

​

What You’ll Do:

• Join video calls with clients (discovery, status, follow-up)
• Ask the right questions, gather and clarify technical requirements, and shape user stories
• Translate client needs into clear, actionable tasks for our developers
• Explain technical decisions, trade-offs, and progress in simple, non-technical language
• Prepare short, clear meeting notes and follow-up action items
• Keep clients informed about timelines, risks, and blockers before they become problems
• Spot upsell/cross-sell opportunities and support light sales conversations when it makes sense
• Build long-term, trust-based relationships with key stakeholders

‍

What We’re Looking For:

• Native-level English (spoken and written) - you’re confident leading calls with US clients
• 5+ years of experience as a Software Engineer or in a closely related technical role
• Strong understanding of modern software development (web, mobile, APIs, cloud)
• You’re good at “translating” between tech and business and keeping everyone aligned
• Comfortable with US time zones and communication style
• Organized and reliable - you follow up, close loops, and document decisions clearly
• Able to work independently in a fully remote environment

​

Nice-to-Have:

• Previous work with US-based clients
• Experience in customer success, account management, or pre-sales
• Background in FinTech, eCommerce, or AI projects

​

Time & Schedule:

• Part-time: typically 5-10 hours per week (hours may vary by client load)
• Flexible schedule, as long as you can join calls in US time zones when needed
• Fully remote - you can be based anywhere

This is a senior, high-trust role: you’ll be the face of KRON for key accounts, and the compensation reflects that. We never ask candidates to pay any fees or purchase equipment as part of the hiring process.
