About the role

Productboard is looking for an experienced Senior Forward Deployed Engineer (FDE) to join our Go-To-Market team.
This is the evolution of our Sales Engineer function - reimagined for engineers who want to do more than demo software.
As an FDE, you're embedded in the field, working alongside prospects and customers to solve real problems, then bringing those learnings back to shape the product itself.

Responsibilities

Co-build the solution with the customer to secure the technical win - designing configurations, validating integrations, and proving value in their environment.
Hand off cleanly to AI Success with full context so they can drive org-wide adoption without starting from scratch.
You will shape the architecture that makes AI agents effective, define the workflows that make them reliable, and build the evaluation systems that make them trustworthy.
Deliver high-impact presentations, demos, and solution briefings that tell Productboard's differentiated story and connect capabilities directly to the customer's strategic problems - not a feature walkthrough.
Own all technical aspects of the sales cycle: scoping and running PoCs in live environments, wiring up integrations, responding to RFPs, validating API and architecture fit, and identifying expansion opportunities at existing accounts.
Develop and deliver thought leadership content with Marketing - talks, live demos, and session formats that showcase the core platform and Spark in real-world contexts.
Implementation & Activation Strategic accounts: Co-build the solution with the customer to secure the technical win - designing configurations, validating integrations, and proving value in their environment.
Scale accounts: Own activation end-to-end.

Requirements

Your ability to speak the language of product strategy, prioritization, and AI-driven PM workflows is what makes these engagements land.
About you 6+ years in a Sales Engineering, Solutions Engineering, or Forward Deployed Engineering role at a B2B SaaS company.
Hands-on experience with Productboard Spark or similar AI product agents is a strong plus.

Skills

Access from day one.
Every employee and leader gets the best tools available - Cursor, Claude Code, Codex, and more.
AI Champions across teams.
Dedicated AI days.
Every six weeks, all teams get focused time to ship real features using AI tools and push boundaries.

Compensation

The expected base pay range for this position in the San Francisco area is $ 133,100 - $176,400.

Benefits

Comfort presenting to senior audiences - panels, executive dinners, or conference stages - and representing a company's technical vision publicly.
In addition to the base pay, this role is eligible for a 25% Variable Component, competitive equity awards, and benefits.
Within the range, the successful candidate's starting base pay will be determined based on factors including job-related skills, experience, qualifications, relevant education or training, and market conditions.
