Forward Deployed Engineer

Responsibilities:

• Work directly with customers to understand requirements, workflows, and technical challenges.
• Translate customer/business requirements into scalable technical solutions.
• Own solutions end-to-end from discovery and solutioning through development, integration, and deployment.
• Build production-grade software and reusable product capabilities. Work across the frontend and backend as required by the problem.
• Collaborate closely with product and engineering teams to convert customer use cases into product improvements.
• Develop integrations and custom solutions while ensuring they can be leveraged across multiple customers where applicable.
• Troubleshoot technical challenges and independently drive problems to resolution.
• Operate effectively in a fast-paced, early-stage startup environment and take ownership beyond a narrowly defined role.

Requirements:

• 2-4 years of relevant experience is preferred; candidates with more experience can be considered if they demonstrate strong hands-on engineering and FDE capabilities.
• Strong software engineering fundamentals and hands-on coding experience.
• Full-stack experience preferred; strong frontend or backend engineers who are willing to work across the stack can also be considered.
• Experience with technologies such as React, TypeScript, Next.js, Go, Python, Rust, Node.js, PostgreSQL, Redis, Kafka, RabbitMQ, gRPC, Docker, and cloud platforms is relevant.
• Strong problem-solving and independent ownership.
• Experience with customer-facing implementations, integrations, consulting, solutioning, or requirement gathering is highly relevant.
• Ability to understand ambiguous customer problems and arrive at practical technical solutions.
• Strong communication and stakeholder-management skills. AI/GenAI exposure is a plus but not mandatory.
• Familiarity with AI-assisted development tools such as Cursor, Claude, GitHub Copilot, ChatGPT, etc., is an added advantage.
