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
