$135,000 - $200,000 + RSUs Company Description
We are recruiting on behalf of a leading public technology company that builds mission-critical software used across the world's most essential institutions-from governments to telecommunications giants. This team brings powerful data platforms and real-time decision tools to life by embedding closely with clients in a collaborative, hands-on development environment.
This particular opportunity is with their Telecom division, a rapidly scaling arm that directly partners with major U.S. carriers. You'll be joining a world-class engineering team that's pioneering new ways to solve large-scale problems using data. What You Will Do
As a Forward Deployed Software Engineer (FDSE), you'll operate at the intersection of software engineering, data analysis, and customer collaboration. In this highly impactful role, you won't just write code-you'll solve urgent, high-stakes problems alongside your clients and bring their ideas to life quickly and effectively.
You'll work closely with technical and non-technical stakeholders to define, build, and deploy end-to-end solutions across areas such as network optimization, customer experience, infrastructure reliability, and operational tooling.
Your core responsibilities will include: Collaborating with client teams to deeply understand business challenges and translate them into data-driven software solutions. Designing, building, and deploying custom applications and data pipelines using modern programming languages and frameworks. Working as part of a small, fast-moving team where your contributions directly impact major telecom operations. Balancing technical execution with customer empathy to ensure successful deployments and long-term impact. Ideal Candidate Background
We're looking for engineers who love solving ambiguous real-world problems, enjoy client-facing collaboration, and thrive in environments where speed and ownership matter.
You should have: 2-4 years of professional software engineering experience. Proficiency in one or more programming languages such as Python, Java, C++, or JavaScript/TypeScript. Experience with ETL processes or building data systems. Strong communication skills and the ability to explain technical topics to non-technical audiences. An entrepreneurial mindset-comfortable with fast iteration, shifting priorities, and working independently in client settings. Preferred Prior experience in customer-facing roles or consulting environments. Exposure to the telecom, data infrastructure, or analytics space. Passion for working on high-impact systems in mission-critical environments. Compensation, Benefits, and Other Details Base Salary:
$135,000 - $200,000 Equity:

Hybrid in New York City with the flexibility to travel up to 25% if needed Interview Process:
Includes a recruiter screen, a one-hour technical exercise, and behavioral interviews, with final decision by the technical leadership team.
This is a rare opportunity to join a cutting-edge team operating at the convergence of advanced data tooling and real-world impact. If you're looking for an engineering role that's dynamic, challenging, and rooted in real user needs-this is the job for you.
