Full Job Description
What You Will Do:

FDEs are the tip of the spear at Sequence.

You'll work shoulder-to-shoulder with the operators who know a company best, become an expert on their business, and rebuild its operations with AI.

Your job is to turn institutional knowledge into AI-native systems. You'll define how technology can amplify human expertise and ship workflows that reshape the operating leverage of the business.

Every deployment compounds. What you build becomes part of the platform so each company transforms faster than the last. The best FDEs will lead entire verticals, partnering with deployment strategists and M&A investors to shape how industries operate on the platform.

What We Look For:
  • Customer obsession. Works directly with users, changes direction based on what they learn, and genuinely cares about solving real problems for real people.
  • Demonstrated track record of impressive academic, professional, or entrepreneurial accomplishments.
  • Comfortable operating in ambiguity. Can enter a business without a roadmap and determine what to build first by talking to people, not just reading documentation.
  • Raw horsepower and tenacity. Will run through walls to deliver results.
  • Proven ability to build from zero to one.
  • Strong communicator. Can explain technical architecture to a CEO and translate a front-line operator's frustration into a system design.
  • Willing to spend meaningful time on-site at portfolio companies.
