About this role

As the Founding Product Engineer (Forward Deployed), you will be the engineer Lane’s customers know by name. The split is roughly 60% building and 40% in front of customers: integration calls, live demos at events, and onboarding a customer or vendor on your own, including going into their office. Travel is mostly within the Bay Area, with about 10% outside it. This role is in person at Lane’s San Francisco office, roughly 6 days a week (Sunday through Friday), with flexibility on weekends.

You will directly

  • Own customer integrations from first call to live transactions: embed with their engineers, write the glue, debug edge cases on both sides
  • Build features on the core user-facing products (the Wallet and the business console) to enterprise quality
  • Own developer experience: docs, quickstarts and reference integrations that help customers use the APIs and SDKs the backend team builds, with time to first transaction as your metric
  • Build demos and pilots real enough to run in production
  • Turn repeated customer requests into roadmap items with evidence
