Full Job Description
The Role

The Forward Deployed Engineering (FDE) team works with SFC's largest customers and partnerships to maximally scale them on our platform by bridging the gap between what our core product offers and what the customer needs.

In this role, you will work independently to unlock large enterprise deals by building creative, well-scoped full-stack solutions for our largest and most important customers. We work with the leading labs, startups and enterprises of the AI industry.

What You'll Do
  • Be directly responsible for the technical integrations of enterprise customers by extending and configuring the core product.
  • Run tightly scoped projects to build customer specific APIs and full-stack solutions on accelerated timelines.
  • Maintain deep technical knowledge across the stack in order to make informed decisions about how the product can be extended and leveraged.
  • Collaborate with other engineers to translate learnings from customer specific work into core product improvements.
  • Collaborate with our GTM team to identify customer needs and craft solutions that bridge business strategy with engineering.
  • Collect requirements directly and indirectly though customer engagements, sometimes traveling to meet customers.
  • Serve as the primary point of contact throughout the customer lifecycle, building long-term relationships, advocating internally on their behalf, and proactively identifying new opportunities.


What We're Looking For
  • You've worked on a core engineering team for 3+ years and have shipped major projects end to end.
  • You have high agency with an ability to navigate the ambiguity present in complex organizations.
  • You've worked directly with a customer to iteratively ship something which delighted the customer with minimal scope.
  • You're experienced in a systems programing language (C, C++, Rust.)
  • You've designed data models in SQL and implemented the corresponding APIs (gRPC, REST) that expose them.
  • You have experience building customer-facing web interfaces using React and Next.js or equivalent.


Nice To Have
  • You have previous exposure with HPC infrastructure and AI workloads.
  • You're familiar with Kubernetes fundamentals and could write an operator.
  • You have experience with project management.
