TL;DR · Forward Deployed Engineer

Join our dynamic Sales and Business Development team as a Forward Deployed Engineer, a role that bridges the gap between business needs and engineering capabilities. You will work closely with Sales teams to identify and solve real-world problems by translating them into actionable engineering tasks and building prototypes using Python, JavaScript/Node.js, and other relevant technologies. Your day-to-day involves embedding within Sales teams to gather insights on platform gaps, operationalizing AI models, and collaborating with data science and software engineering teams to integrate solutions seamlessly. You will also contribute to the internal community by authoring tutorials and demos, ensuring that Sales users and partner engineers can leverage the platform effectively. This role requires strong full-stack engineering skills, proficiency in SQL and REST APIs, and the ability to navigate ambiguity while influencing product roadmaps without direct authority.

What you'll do

  • Translate frontline business problems into engineering specifications and shippable solutions for Sales teams.
  • Build prototypes that solve concrete Sales problems quickly and distill valuable patterns into reusable abstractions.
  • Partner with the data science team to operationalize novel models and analytical workflows into production-grade services.
  • Integrate Sales-facing solutions with platform APIs, SDKs, and shared services to promote self-service adoption.
  • Communicate deep insights on API quality, developer experience, and unmet needs to inform product roadmap prioritization.

What we're looking for

  • 5+ years of experience in Forward Deployed Engineering or similar highly technical roles.
  • Strong full-stack engineering skills with proficiency in Python and JavaScript/Node.js.
  • Familiarity with SQL, relational databases, and data pipelines.
  • Functional literacy in AI/ML concepts and ability to operationalize prototypes into production services.
  • Working knowledge of REST APIs, GraphQL, microservices, and distributed systems architectures.
  • Exceptional communication skills for diverse audiences including executive leadership.
