About the role

We're looking for a Senior Forward Deployed Engineer to bridge the gap between our enterprise customers and our product, building prototypes for strategic opportunities that accelerate sales cycles and inform product development.

This role is ideal for someone who thrives on direct customer engagement and enjoys turning ambiguous enterprise requirements into working software—fast. You'll build prototypes, support high-value enterprise deals, and translate customer needs into insights that directly shape our product roadmap.

You'll partner closely with Sales, Product, and Engineering teams to validate customer use cases, deliver solutions in the field, and feed learnings back into how we build.

• Build and deliver prototypes for strategic enterprise opportunities, accelerating sales cycles and de-risking deals
• Engage directly with enterprise customers to understand their requirements, workflows, and technical environments
• Support enterprise deals as the technical bridge between customer needs and product capabilities
• Translate customer requirements into clear technical specifications and actionable product insights
• Collaborate with Product and Engineering teams to feed field learnings into the product roadmap
• Validate customer use cases for new product initiatives through hands-on prototyping and iteration
• Identify reusable patterns across customer engagements and drive their productization
• Build strong relationships with key stakeholders across Sales, Product, Engineering, and customer organizations
• Work on ongoing field engineering initiatives, including:
  • Prototype delivery for strategic enterprise opportunities
  • New product launch support and customer validation
  • Productization of successful prototype concepts
  • Establishing scalable Forward Deployed Engineering practices
• Participate in architecture and solution discussions, contributing practical, customer-informed engineering perspectives

What you already bring to the table

• Strong fullstack engineering experience, with the ability to build and ship working solutions quickly
• Solid experience designing and working with APIs and integrating across systems
• Experience with cloud platforms and modern application architecture
• Experience working directly with enterprise customers and navigating their technical requirements
• Strong sense of ownership and the ability to drive projects independently from ambiguity to delivery
• Excellent communication skills, with the ability to translate between technical and business stakeholders
• Customer-focused mindset, with genuine curiosity about customer problems and workflows
• Comfort operating in ambiguous, fast-moving environments where priorities evolve
• Strong collaboration skills across Sales, Product, and Engineering functions

Extra awesome

• Previous experience in a Forward Deployed Engineering, Solutions Engineering, or similar customer-facing technical role
• Experience working in a product led SaaS company
