About the role

We're seeking Founding Forward-Deployed Engineers (FDE) to serve as the technical face of Sandstone for a cohort of in-house legal teams post-sale, owning engagements from onboarding through adoption, expansion, and renewal.
Our FDEs are fully ambidextrous: they sit on our Post-Sales team and they also meet or exceed the technical caliber of our core software engineers.
Our Post-Sales team is relentlessly focused on customer outcomes, while our core engineers are relentlessly focused on executing the product roadmap.

Responsibilities

Own a portfolio of accounts, establishing a strong foundation for long-term adoption and clear, measurable client outcomes from day one.
Drive sustained product adoption through structured enablement programs, tailored success plans, regular engagement, and proactive usage optimization.
Collaborate closely with Product, Engineering, Legal Engineering, and Marketing to translate customer feedback into actionable insights that shape our roadmap, messaging, and go-to-market strategy.

Requirements

You bring 4+ years of experience as an Forward Deployed Engineer, Full Stack Engineer, or a related role within a high-growth B2B SaaS environment, ideally in LegalTech.
You have a demonstrated track record of entrepreneurship or of success in an unstructured environment - you're hungry, low ego, and generative.
You have the empathy to understand what a customer is feeling and the emotional intelligence to know how to interact smoothly with them.
You bring 4+ years of experience as an Forward Deployed Engineer, Full Stack Engineer, or a related role within a high-growth B2B SaaS environment, ideally in LegalTech. Alternatively, you'll bring nuanced, high ownership experience as a technical founder of your own startup.

As a bonus, you come from the world of law-but you've never been content with how things have always been done.
