The OpportunityAugust is building AGI for law. Our agents mimic lawyers' reasoning, research, and drafting, and our workflows already outperform attorneys in third-party evaluations. We target mid-market law firms, automating legal work and enabling firms to offer our tools directly to clients. Join at an early stage as we scale agents to process thousands of documents simultaneously and deliver outputs that exceed human-level accuracy-in real, high-stakes environments.
As a
Forward Deployed Engineer (FDE) at August, you'll embed with customers to turn ambiguous workflows into deployed, reliable solutions. You'll scope, prototype, integrate, and operate production systems-owning the last mile from SSO and data ingestion to UX fit and pilot success. You'll work directly with founders, engineers, and legal experts to ship measurable value fast and upstream your wins into the core product.
What You'll Do- Own customer deployments end-to-end: run discovery, define success metrics, and deliver pilots that convert to expansion.
- Build and integrate for real environments: implement adapters, webhooks, and APIs (e.g., iManage/NetDocs, SharePoint, Outlook, Word add-ins); wire up SSO/SAML/OIDC and tenant isolation.
- Create reusable product: transform bespoke integrations into configurable modules, SDKs, templates, and internal playbooks.
- Accelerate time-to-value: remove bottlenecks (data migrations, redlines, policy constraints) so pilots deliver results in weeks, not months.
About You- 2+ years building production software (full-stack or platform); you're comfortable reading unfamiliar APIs and shipping in messy real-world stacks.
- Proficiency with TypeScript/JavaScript (React/Next.js for light UI surfaces) and at least one backend language (e.g., Python ) for integrations and automations..
- Bias to ship: you favor the smallest change that proves value, instrument it, and iterate quickly.
- Comfortable in an early-stage environment with ownership, ambiguity, and rapid iteration. Light travel to customer sites as needed.
