Discussion

Summary

A forward deployed engineer embeds with strategic customers to scope and build full-stack payments infrastructure — account systems, API endpoints, blockchain integrations, and compliance workflows — using TypeScript, React, NestJS, Postgres, and AWS. They debug production issues and turn bespoke customer implementations into reusable platform features, with monthly on-site travel.

You embed with strategic customers to understand their business and build the infrastructure their launches require. You scope solutions directly with customer engineers, develop across the full stack, debug production issues, and turn successful bespoke implementations into reusable platform features. You work with customer engineers, operators, founders, and finance leaders while maintaining high standards for correctness, resilience, and auditability in money movement systems. You also travel monthly to spend time with customers on site.
