Forward Deployed Engineer

Show

You will spend roughly half your time working directly with clients, providing deep technical guidance during the sales process, helping close deals, and owning the integration experience from start to finish. You will become the expert on client integration processes, mastering both backend data pipelines and frontend application integrations, and you will develop and own the demos that bring the platform to life. The other half of your time will be spent as a key contributor to the core platform, using direct client insights to identify problems, then design, build, and deliver scalable platform solutions and new features that the product roadmap requires. You will partner with designers, product managers, sales, and other engineers to solve the right problems, participate in code reviews to maintain quality, and help accelerate team velocity.
