Forward Deployed Engineer – Build, Solve, Ship

We're working with a fast-moving, product-led team that's helping developers build better tools, faster. They're trusted by some of the most forward-thinking companies in tech, and they're looking for engineers who want to be close to the customer, close to the product, and far from the red tape.

This isn't a typical backend role. As a
Forward Deployed Engineer
, you'll be hands-on with real-world problems—working directly with customers to deploy solutions, shape the roadmap, and iterate fast. You'll be part of a small, sharp team where autonomy isn't just encouraged—it's expected.

What You'll Be Doing:

  • Leading technical deployments with high-growth and enterprise customers.
  • Diving deep into backend systems, SDKs, and infrastructure.
  • Turning customer feedback into product improvements.
  • Owning outcomes—not just code.

What You'll Bring:

  • Strong backend/API engineering experience (Go, TypeScript, OpenAPI, Terraform).
  • Experience as a founding engineer, technical founder, or solutions engineer.
  • A bias toward action, and a knack for solving messy, ambiguous problems.
  • Comfort managing multiple priorities and working independently.

Why It's Worth Your Time:

  • You'll work directly with customers—your work matters.
  • You'll help shape the product and the company.
  • You'll join a team that values speed, clarity, and trust.
  • Hybrid setup in the SF Bay Area (3 days/week in-office).
  • Competitive salary + equity + full benefits.

If you're looking for a role where you can move fast, own your work, and make a real impact—this might be it.
