This role is with a rapidly growing, venture-backed AI software company building an intelligent operating layer for complex, integration-heavy enterprises. The platform helps organizations plan, deploy, and optimize their teams through advanced analytics, automation, and AI-driven workflows.
The company works in real-world, security-constrained environments—including hybrid, on-prem, and restricted systems—and is focused on shipping durable, production-grade enterprise software.
We are looking for a Founding Forward Deployment Engineer (FDE)—an engineer who thrives at the intersection of software engineering, systems integration, and customer outcomes.
In this role, you will work directly with enterprise customers to deploy, customize, and scale complex integrations and AI-powered workflows. You will own technical implementations end-to-end, write production-grade code, and feed real-world learnings back into the product so deployments become faster, more reliable, and more repeatable over time.
This is a founding role, offering significant ownership and influence over how forward deployment, implementation tooling, and enterprise rollout strategies are defined as the company scales.
Compensation: $180K–$210K base + equity (0.01%–0.02%)
