About this role
We are looking for a Forward Deployed Engineer with 3+ years of experience to own enterprise customer relationships end-to-end — from pre-sales demos to post-sales integration — for Honcho, our cutting-edge AI memory and identity infrastructure. You'll be the first dedicated FDE at a fast-growing neolab (50x developer growth in 3 months) that trains its own models and is the #1 trusted memory provider in the agentic AI ecosystem.
What will you be doing?
- Managing deal flow end-to-end: triaging enterprise inbound, nudging customers through the pipeline, and delivering on commitments
- Building demos and collateral (slide decks, one-pagers, reference integrations) tailored to each customer's vertical and use case
- Embedding with customers post-sale — auditing their codebases and building Honcho integrations directly
- Educating enterprise customers on agentic engineering mental models and how to leverage Honcho
- Feeding customer friction and insights back to the dev team to improve the product
