In this player-coach role, you will manage and mentor a team of engineers, oversee technical direction, and serve as the executive-level face for high-stakes deployments involving CFOs and IT leaders. You will be responsible for coordinating project requirements, ensuring SLA compliance, and building implementation playbooks to streamline recurring integrations. The role requires deep expertise in REST APIs, GraphQL, webhooks, SQL, and agentic AI technologies including LangChain, LangGraph, RAG, and vector stores.

This position solves the complex challenge of integrating automated accounting processes and internal controls into large-scale financial systems.

What you'll do

  • Manage, coach, and mentor a team of Forward Deployed Engineers to ensure high technical standards and career growth.
  • Oversee the technical direction, quality, and prioritization of all active customer engagements within your pod.
  • Serve as the executive-level escalation point for complex architecture, integration, and data-flow issues.
  • Engage directly with C-suite stakeholders to lead pre-sale proof-of-value, technical evaluations, and expansion discussions.
  • Translate agentic AI capabilities into production-ready deployments that automate specific customer accounting processes.
  • Partner with Product and Core Engineering teams to translate field learnings into the product roadmap.
  • Develop implementation playbooks, expansion frameworks, and reusable assets to accelerate deployment speed.
  • Manage pod capacity by deciding how incoming requests are staffed across Sales, Platform, or FDE teams.

What we're looking for

  • 8+ years of experience in Forward Deployed Engineering, Solutions Engineering, technical consulting, or a similar customer-embedded role.
  • 2+ years of experience directly managing engineers in a customer-facing or forward-deployed capacity.
  • Deep expertise with REST APIs, GraphQL, webhooks, SQL, and enterprise integrations.
  • Deep experience with Agentic AI technologies including LangChain, LangGraph, MCP servers, RAG, and vector stores.
  • Proficiency with LLM tools such as OpenAI, Gemini, Anthropic, and prompt engineering.
  • Proven ability to act as an executive-level technical face for CFOs and Controllers during high-stakes engagements.
  • Experience managing multiple concurrent technical deployments under delivery and revenue pressure.
  • Background in high-growth SaaS environments or domains like fintech, ERP, or accounting.
