Forward Deployed Engineer

What You’ll Do

• Find leverage — Sit with teams, discover what nobody’s automated because nobody knew it could be
• Build solutions fast — AI agents, automations, internal tools—prototype in days, ship in weeks
• Stay on the frontier — New model drops? You’re testing it that day
• Prove impact — Set up metrics, track results, show what worked
• Communicate what you learn — Present to the company; shape the roadmap

You Might Be a Fit If…

• You get energy from business impact, not code elegance
• You’re a technical generalist (Python, TypeScript, SQL—you learn new tools in days)
• You write code with AI (Cursor, Claude Code) and can manage multiple coding sessions
• You can present to non-technical people and explain why conversion dropped
• You think in business terms: “we increased conversion by 15%,” not “we shipped the feature”
• You’re 2-5 years into your career
