About the roleForward Deployed Engineers at Method are engineers who work directly with our customers. You will join the Engineering team, be assigned to customers as they sign, and own getting each one live on Method's API. That means sitting with their engineers, understanding exactly what they are building, and writing the code that closes the gap between what Method does today and what they need to launch.
This is real engineering. When a customer needs configurability an endpoint does not support yet, you build it. When a go-live depends on a new feature built on existing services, you scope it and ship it. You will also own the surfaces every integrating customer touches: our SDKs, the OpenAPI spec, the customer configuration tool, and our integration guides. For Method's largest strategic accounts, you stay on for the long term, paired with a Forward Deployed PM, building custom extensions and leading expansion into new products.
If you want the depth of an engineering role with a direct line to the customer, and a path to broad ownership across building, selling, and product, this role is built for that.
What you'll do- Own customer integrations from onboarding through go-live and ramp, writing the code needed to make Method's API fit each customer's use case
- Gather requirements directly from customers and turn them into scoped, shippable work
- Ship features that extend Method's platform, from new parameters and configurability on existing endpoints to larger features built on existing services and patterns
- Own the SDKs, the OpenAPI spec, the customer configuration tool, and the integration guides and documentation that integrating customers rely on
- Stay on as the engineering owner for strategic accounts, partnering with a Forward Deployed PM on custom builds and expansion
- Join customer calls daily, including with customer engineering leaders
- Take part in the engineering on-call rotation and engineering ceremonies alongside product engineers
- Turn recurring customer requests into feedback and proposals that make the platform better for every customer
