About the RoleTabs is hiring a Forward Deployed Engineer to join a highly visible team that designs and delivers custom workflows, features, and integrations for our highest-value customers. You'll serve as the connective tissue between customers and product, translating complex requirements into clear solutions while partnering with implementation, customer success, product, and engineering to own the path from scoping through launch. This role sits at the intersection of go-live and long-term adoption, and the solutions you deliver often shape the core product roadmap. You'll work cross-functionally with GTM, Implementation, and Customer Success, partnering closely with Product and Engineering to surface patterns and escalate gaps based on real customer needs.
What You'll Do- Own delivery of customer projects end-to-end (scoping 14 launch), across a range of sizes and urgency

- Build customer-specific solutions in Python & React, using Tabs' APIs and internal systems to deliver custom workflows
- Develop creative solutions by combining Tabs' APIs with flexible workflows and lightweight tooling
- Operate in an FDE-style capacity when needed, including investigating customer environments/tools and resolving customer-impacting issues cross-functionally
- Unblock yourself through independent discovery and communicate clearly on priorities, timelines, risks, and customer impact
Who You Are:- A self-starter who thrives in ambiguity and can move forward without perfect requirements or detailed specs
- Resourceful and pragmatic - you gather context quickly, make reasonable assumptions, and unblock progress
- A creative problem solver who balances speed and quality when delivering customer-facing solutions
- Technical and systems-minded, with strong instincts for how components interact and where edge cases live
- Product-oriented and impact-driven - you care about shipping outcomes that work for real users and customers
Requirements:- 2+ years of experience and strong working knowledge of Python, with experience using it to build and support production workflows and internal tools
- Strong systems thinking, including the ability to reason about data flows, integrations, edge cases, and failure modes
- Comfort working across APIs, data, and operational tooling to deliver reliable customer-facing functionality
- Ability to scope and drive delivery end-to-end: clarify requirements, define technical approach, and execute in ambiguity
- Strong cross-functional communicator with experience working in client-facing contexts
Nice to Have:- Familiarity with SQL (or confidence picking it up quickly)
- Familiarity with Github and software development approach
- Experience debugging production issues or working in live customer environments
- Prior customer-facing technical experience (solutions, implementation, support, etc.)
- Exposure to Field / Forward-Deployed (FDE) style work and customer-stack investigation
- (e.g., CRMs/ERPs/Datawarehouses like Salesforce, Quickbooks, Snowflake)
