TL;DR · Forward Deployed Engineer

As a Forward Deployed Engineer, you will join the Engineering team to bridge the gap between core product development and customer-specific implementation. You will work at the intersection of engineering, applied AI, and enterprise finance to transform "AI pilots" into production systems within the general ledger. Your daily responsibilities include building proofs-of-value during the pre-sale phase, architecting and deploying custom configurations of AI Agents post-sale, and performing deep technical troubleshooting. You will manage complex integrations, resolve issues involving data flows and automation logic, and serve as a primary technical point of contact for executive stakeholders. To succeed, you must possess expertise in Python, SQL, REST APIs, GraphQL, and webhooks. This role solves the challenge of automating complex accounting processes and removing manual work from real-world enterprise finance environments through tailored AI-enabled workflow transformations.
