Full Job Description
About the role

Every customer brings different systems, security needs, and workflows. Forward Deployed Engineers partner with customer engineering, IT, security, and business teams to ship production-grade deployments. You'll identify what is holding a team back, design the solution, and own it through launch and adoption.

What you'll do
  • Lead deployments from discovery through implementation, launch, and adoption
  • Build and debug across APIs, integrations, identity, data, and customer environments
  • Earn trust by communicating clearly and solving problems in real time
  • Push back thoughtfully when a request will not produce the right outcome
  • Turn recurring needs into product improvements, reusable integrations, and stronger playbooks


You may be a fit if
  • You've shipped production software directly with customers
  • You can work across the stack and go deep when systems behave unexpectedly
  • You communicate clearly across technical and business audiences
  • You stay composed when requirements are incomplete or timelines are tight
  • You take ownership through delivery and adoption


Prior experience in voice, machine learning, or specific customer technology stacks is not required.

Logistics

We sponsor H1B, O1, EB1, L1, STEM OPT, and more. We can't guarantee sponsorship for every role, but if we make you an offer we'll make every reasonable effort, with help from our immigration law firm.

We strongly encourage you to apply even if you don't meet every qualification. The strongest candidates we meet rarely do, so don't exclude yourself prematurely. We're rethinking how humans interact with AI, and doing that well demands diversity of perspective and experience.

We're committed to a fair and accessible interview process. If you need any accommodations or adjustments, please let us know.
