About the Company

Our client is a fast-growing startup backed by top investors, building technology that transforms how businesses run their operations. Their platform streamlines complex workflows and helps companies scale by automating what used to be manual, fragmented processes. They move fast, solve hard problems, and are looking for builders who thrive in customer-facing, high-impact roles. The Role

As a

Forward Deployed Engineer (FDE) , you’ll sit at the intersection of engineering and customer success. You’ll work directly with customers to deeply understand their operations, then design, build, and deploy solutions powered by the platform. No two deployments will be the same—you’ll be rapidly prototyping, iterating, and shipping code that immediately impacts customer workflows. This role is ideal for engineers who are excited by variety, love solving messy real-world problems, and enjoy working closely with end-users. What You’ll Do

Partner directly with customers to map business processes and translate them into scalable technical solutions.

Build, customize, and deploy integrations and applications in

TypeScript

Rapidly prototype features, test with customers, and iterate based on feedback.

Collaborate with the core product and engineering teams to feed insights from deployments back into the platform.
