Forward Deployed Engineer
As a Forward Deployed Engineer, you own enterprise accounts end-to-end and get your hands dirty with related development. You're the first person customers call and their trusted counterpart. You sit across the table from CSOs, VPs of Risk, and heads of compliance, and you turn their messiest workflows into something that runs on the platform.
Expect roughly one to two customer meetings per week per account, plus the async work around it - driving adoption, configuring the platform, chasing requirements, helping decide what features to implement and implementing them. You'll own a dozen-plus accounts at any given time.
This is the closest thing to a founding-team role outside the founders. You'll partner directly with the CTO to help shape what the company becomes.
What you'll do
- Own strategic accounts: adoption, expansion, renewal - the whole thing
- Run weekly working sessions with senior stakeholders; drive the agenda, close the loop
- Configure the platform to fit each customer's reality
- Manage the async cadence: emails, follow-ups, status updates, internal escalations
- Translate customer needs into prioritised product feedback that actually changes the roadmap
- Hold your own in procurement, security review, and contract conversations
- Ship code with Claude Code - when a customer needs a UI fix, a small feature, or a bug squashed, you do it; you don't need to be an engineer today, but you need to want to ship by month three
