Full Job Description
Forward Deployed Engineer

We look for engineers who are excited to tackle unsolved problems. They thrive in high stakes situations, sitting next to the people in the field who depend on the answers. As a Forward Deployed Engineer, you embed with the institutions using our models to make consequential decisions about the physical world. Your mission is to make sure we build the right solution for a customer's mission: delivering the data infrastructure, integrations, and AI systems that work in practice, not just in theory - and expanding our core product to solve new problems as you discover them.

Willingness to travel to and spend extended time on-site with customers is required.

Responsibilities
  • Embed with strategic customers to understand their mission and ensure we build the solution that actually solves it
  • Deliver scalable data infrastructure and integrations inside real customer environments
  • Design and ship AI systems that hold up under real-world conditions, data, and constraints
  • Surface new problems as you find them in the field, and extend our core platform to handle them
  • Work hands-on across the stack - technical, resourceful, and close to the user


What we're looking for

We value a relentless approach to problem-solving, rapid execution, and the ability to quickly learn in unfamiliar domains.
  • Strong, versatile engineering skills and the resourcefulness to solve unfamiliar problems with whatever it takes
  • Experience building and shipping real systems in production - data infrastructure, integrations, applications
  • Comfort working directly with customers and adapting fast to their environments and constraints
  • Willingness to travel and embed on-site wherever the mission needs you
  • A bias toward real-world impact over elegance: solutions that work for the user, under pressure
