About this roleAs an Staff Forward Deployed Engineer at Concurrence, you'll lead the technical delivery of customer deployments end to end. You'll set the architecture, break big ambiguous problems into work a team can own, commit the timelines, and hold the bar for what ships. It's a hands-on leadership role at the intersection of engineering, product, and the customer.
Depending on your strengths, the role leans toward deep technical leadership, people leadership, or both. Some tech leads are the deepest technical authority on the team and take the hardest problems themselves. Others manage a handful of engineers and own how the team operates. Most do some of each. We work out the shape with you.

- Turning an ambiguous customer need into a clear technical plan with owners and timelines
- Setting the architecture and engineering standards the team builds within
