You'll partner closely with stakeholders to transform these processes into scalable, software-driven solutions.

The FDSE role is a unique combination of software engineering, product thinking, and customer-facing work. You'll collaborate with teams across a wide range of industries - whether in healthcare, finance, logistics, insurance, or beyond - helping organizations modernize complex systems and unlock new efficiencies. This role offers the opportunity to work closely with senior leaders, tackle high-stakes operational challenges, and drive meaningful impact at some of the world's largest and most important institutions.

Here are some examples of what you'll do each day:
  • Meet with customer teams, remotely or in person, to scope out their critical processes
  • Design a new process architecture with senior engineers
  • Use the Felicity platform to build complex automated workflows
  • Develop new integrations between Felicity and customer systems
  • Run trainings and create user-facing documentation
  • Create and run Felicity demos for sales calls

  • Engineering background, preferably in fields such as Computer Science, Software Engineering, Mathematics, and Physics
  • Proficiency with one or more programming languages, such as Python, Java, C++, TypeScript/JavaScript, or similar
  • Familiarity with LLMs and integrating AI models into complex workflows
  • A strong sense of ownership and willingness to do whatever it takes to deliver customer outcomes
  • Excellent communication skills, both written and verbal


What we offer

    Every team member receives ESOP (equity ownership) in the company. We want everyone to share in the upside of what we're building together.
  • Health benefits
    Felicity covers 100% of health insurance for employees and dependents, wherever you are.
  • Unlimited PTO
