TL;DR

As a Forward Deployed Engineer on the Maps Client Quality Engineering Intelligence team, you will work closely with QE leads, SDETs, and engineering managers to build AI-native tools that enhance their workflows. Your role involves understanding user needs through direct engagement, identifying areas for improvement, and developing solutions in Python and TypeScript using FastAPI, aiohttp, Next.js, and other technologies. You will be responsible for end-to-end development, from initial concept to deployment and post-launch adoption analysis. The team focuses on integrating AI into quality engineering processes at scale, requiring strong Python and TypeScript skills along with experience in building and deploying internal tools that drive consistent AI adoption across the organization. Ideal candidates have a background in QE or developer tooling and are comfortable working without detailed specifications, prioritizing user feedback to guide development decisions.

What you'll do

  • Stay close to users to understand their workflows and challenges.
  • Choose the most impactful projects to build based on user needs.
  • Develop end-to-end solutions including Python services, TypeScript front-ends, and integrations.
  • Make trade-offs between scope, speed, and quality under release pressure.
  • Ensure high adoption of built tools after launch by revisiting usage.

What we're looking for

  • 5+ years of experience shipping production software end-to-end.
  • Strong proficiency in Python and TypeScript with hands-on experience in FastAPI/aiohttp and Next.js.
  • Proven ability to build tools or features that another team adopted unprompted.
  • Demonstrated engineering judgment in deciding not to build certain features based on adoption goals.
  • Comfortable working from observation rather than a written spec, with at least one project as an example.
  • Experience applying LLMs in building systems and debugging retrieval-augmented systems.
