Forward Deployed Engineer
Posted Updated
Description
Requirements:
- 1.5 to 4 years building and running software in production, in a product company or a fast-moving services team.
- Strong in Python; comfortable in TypeScript; willing to read and patch Go.
- Has integrated with third-party APIs for real (auth flows, pagination, webhooks, idempotency) and knows what breaks when they misbehave.
- Has worked with LLM APIs: prompting, structured outputs, tool/function calling, and evaluating whether a change actually helped.
- Comfortable with Docker, a cloud provider (we use AWS), and reading logs, metrics, and traces to find the cause of a bad call.
- Can sit in a customer call, understand a business process, and translate it into a workflow with clear edge cases, then explain trade-offs in plain language.
- Writes clearly: PRs, issues, runbooks, and customer-facing notes that someone else can act on.
- Bias to shipping. Comfortable owning an outcome with incomplete information and asking for help early.
