Forward Deployed Engineer
London (Hybrid) | Competitive Salary + Meaningful Equity
Build with customers. Solve real problems. Ship at speed.
The best engineers don't just write great software—they understand the people using it. We're partnering with a venture-backed product company that's building the next generation of technology in a hugely exciting space. Having raised significant funding from leading investors, they're now scaling an exceptional engineering team made up of talent from companies including Meta, Tessian and other world-class technology businesses. The founders are proven operators with a major exit behind them and years of domain expertise. They know the problem inside out, have strong product-market conviction and are building for the long term. They're now looking for a Forward Deployed Engineer to bridge the gap between engineering and customers, helping bring ambitious products to life in real-world environments.
Why this opportunity stands out
- Join one of the highest-calibre engineering teams in the startup ecosystem.
- Work directly with customers to solve complex, high-impact technical challenges.
- Huge ownership from day one with the opportunity to influence both product and engineering direction.
- Meaningful equity in a well-funded company at an early stage.
- Product-driven culture where customer feedback directly shapes what gets built.
- Fast-moving environment with the autonomy to solve problems however you think best.

Who you'll thrive as
This role is ideal for engineers who enjoy variety.

Why join now?
This is a rare opportunity to join a company with exceptional technical leadership, significant funding and genuine ambition to redefine its industry. You'll work alongside some of the best engineers in the business, help customers unlock the full potential of the platform and play a key role in building a product that solves real-world problems at scale.
