Full job description
Senior Forward Deployed Engineers (FDE) sit at the intersection of enterprise customer environments and a fast-moving internal product. They partner directly with customers to design, build, troubleshoot, and improve production solutions, and they are ultimately accountable for helping customers get to production.
This role is best suited for engineers who want to own technical outcomes end to end: understanding what a customer is trying to build, shipping the integration, and feeding learnings back into the product roadmap.
We are looking to speak to candidates who are based in Tysons, VA for our hybrid working model.
Responsibilities
Customer success
Serve as the primary technical owner for customer engagements from initial discovery through production rollout
Understand each customer's architecture, constraints, and definition of success, and drive toward that outcome
Manage expectations, communicate risks clearly, and help customers navigate technical decisions with confidence
Technical integration
Build the connectors, pipelines, and supporting tooling needed to make the platform work inside real enterprise environments
Write production-quality code, troubleshoot issues, and implement fixes directly in active workstreams
Work effectively within customer environments that have different stacks, infrastructure, and integration constraints
Product feedback loop
Capture product feedback with precision, including logs, reproduction steps, and a clear proposed path forward
Use customer engagements to identify product gaps, surface recurring patterns, and help improve the product roadmap
Document technical decisions and tradeoffs clearly so product and engineering teams can extend the work
Workstream collaboration
Partner closely with product and engineering teams to help turn field patterns into reusable product capabilities
Contribute directly in focused workstreams by helping drive technical design, implementation, and delivery
Make sound engineering decisions under pressure while building and iterating quickly
Engagement management
Coordinate independently across internal teams and customer stakeholders to keep delivery moving
Communicate clearly across technical, business, and executive audiences
Qualifications
Basic qualifications
5 - 8 years of engineering experience required
Hands-on production engineering experience, including writing code, debugging failures, and implementing fixes directly
Engineering experience in AI and agentic development
Experience with developing and deploying software within enterprise environments
Experience shipping production solutions at scale that customers relied on
Experience building integrations across existing systems and infrastructure
Strong troubleshooting and code review skills, including the ability to identify root causes and drive resolution
Willingness and ability to travel up to 30% to customer sites as needed for on-site engagements, technical reviews, and presentations
Preferred qualifications
Experience with LLMs, agent frameworks, or deploying AI systems in production
Prior experience in an FDE or similar forward-deployed engineering role
