    Description

    We're looking for customer-facing Software Engineers who can rapidly identify operational pain points, build practical AI-powered solutions, and deploy them in real-world environments as part of a forward-deployed engineering role.

    This role sits at the intersection of Engineering, Product, and Customer Success. You'll work directly with users to understand workflows, uncover the highest-impact problems, and quickly deliver solutions using AI, automation, APIs, and cloud tooling.

    Success in this role requires strong engineering ability, operational problem-solving, communication skills, and the ability to move from ambiguity to implementation quickly. You are not just advising on solutions - you are building, deploying, and operationalizing them directly alongside customers.

    • Partner directly with business stakeholders, engineers, and product managers to understand operational workflows, deployment requirements, and process bottlenecks
    • Translate ambiguous business needs into practical, scalable technical solutions
    • Identify high-impact operational pain points and rapidly deliver solutions that create measurable value
    • Scope, design, build, and deploy AI-powered internal tools, workflow automations, and system integrations across test and production environments
    • Lead business implementations and deployments as a forward-deployed Software Engineer / Technical Product Manager (FDE/TPM)
    • Build and maintain integrations across APIs, systems, and data platforms
