Forward Deployed Engineer

Stack

Responsibilities

• ▹Sit with end-users, process owners and client engineers to understand the real workflow and the real problem underneath the stated one
• ▹Translate the target-state process into a concrete technical solution: architecture, data model, integrations, agent and workflow design, and ship it in days and weeks
• ▹Demo early and often, putting working software in front of real users and folding their feedback into the next iteration
• ▹Make speed, quality and cost trade-offs in real time, choosing build vs. buy vs. configure existing platform capability
• ▹Own observability and evals once live and iterate until the system is reliable in the customer's real conditions
• ▹Earn trust with the client's engineering and security teams: API access, data flows, deployment, reviews
• ▹Bring patterns back (reusable components, prompt structures, integration approaches) so the next engagement ships faster

Requirements

• ▹Builder background with real shipping experience: taking systems from zero to production and keeping them running
• ▹Fluent with modern AI tooling: LLM APIs, tool and function calling, agent frameworks, evals, prompt engineering
• ▹Strong TypeScript on the backend; comfortable with APIs, auth, queues and integrating with legacy systems
• ▹Daily, fluent use of Claude Code, Cursor or similar tools
• ▹Customer-facing instinct: enjoys being in the room with users, asking sharp questions and pushing back respectfully
• ▹Experience automating business processes in the ERP space (SAP, Microsoft Dynamics, Oracle, NetSuite or similar), or a background in consulting, solutions engineering or building products end-to-end

Nice to have
