About the job


Forward Deployed Engineer

Most engineers build in isolation.

This role is where the software meets reality.


We’re working with a fast-growing, AI-native company applying real-time data and machine learning to transform a major industry. Instead of building abstract systems, you’ll be deploying and shaping solutions directly in live customer environments.


What you’ll do?

  • Own deployments end-to-end in real customer environments
  • Work directly with users to solve messy, ambiguous problems
  • Build across systems, integrations, and data pipelines
  • Act as the bridge between engineering, product, and customers
  • Turn real-world feedback into product and system improvements


What makes this interesting

  • You see your work used immediately — not months later
  • High ownership: you’re responsible for outcomes, not tickets
  • Messy, real-world problems that don’t fit clean abstractions
  • Tight feedback loops with users shaping the product
  • Blend of engineering, product thinking, and problem solving


What we're looking for?

  • Strong engineers who can build and adapt quickly (Python, Java, TypeScript, etc.)
  • Experience with systems, integrations, or data-heavy environments
  • Comfort operating in ambiguity with high ownership
  • Ability to work directly with customers and understand real needs
  • Engineers who care about impact, not just implementation
