Files H-1B transfers
1 transfer filing in the last year, covering 1 worker. Median labor-condition decision: 7 days. An employer that already files transfers is one that can take over an existing H-1B.

About the role
- We are looking for a Forward Deployed Engineer (FDE) to embed with strategic enterprise customers after the sale and turn ambitious platform commitments into production outcomes.
- This is a hands-on engineering role-not a traditional consulting, project management, or customer success position.
- You will move between a customer's architecture room, a codebase, a Kubernetes cluster, and an executive status discussion without losing the thread.
Responsibilities
- Translate business outcomes and ambiguous customer requirements into clear technical designs, milestones, and working software
- Design, build, test, and deploy customer-specific integrations, data pipelines, platform extensions, migration utilities, and AI-enabled workflows
- Lead technical workstreams during high-severity deployment issues, communicate hypotheses clearly, and drive fact-based root-cause resolution
- Produce high-quality technical artifacts: architecture diagrams, design documents, implementation plans, runbooks, test plans, decision logs, and post-incident reviews
- Lead technical workshops, design reviews, whiteboarding sessions, and hands-on enablement
Requirements
- 6+ years of professional software, platform, data, or infrastructure engineering experience, including substantial hands-on ownership of production systems
- Strong programming and software engineering fundamentals, with production proficiency in at least one backend language such as Python, Java, Scala, or Go
- Experience with modern data infrastructure and distributed systems, such as Spark, Trino/Presto, Iceberg, Kafka, Airflow, dbt, data lakes, or cloud data platforms
- Working knowledge of at least one major cloud platform (AWS, Azure, or GCP) and infrastructure-as-code practices such as Terraform
- Ability to troubleshoot across system boundaries and stay accountable until the underlying problem is understood and resolved
- Experience navigating large-enterprise constraints such as security reviews, IAM/RBAC, private networking, compliance controls, change management, and multiple stakeholder groups
- Deep experience with one or more of Kubernetes, Spark, Trino, Iceberg, Airflow, Ranger, Keycloak, DataHub, Terraform, dbt, Airbyte, Fivetran, or adjacent technologies
- Track record of modernizing Hadoop, Cloudera, MapR, legacy ETL, or complex enterprise data estates
- Experience with performance engineering, high availability, disaster recovery, security hardening, or production incident response
Skills
- That's where NexusOne comes in.
- What we stand for is simple:
- sovereign data, interoperable systems, decoupled intelligence - delivered the way modern software should be.
- No rip-and-replace.
- No multi-year transformation.
- Our CEO Anu Jain puts it well:
- 85+ open-source tools pre-integrated.
- AI-native automations that deploy and self-heal the stack without human toil.
Company info
- You will help customers discover the real problem and turn ambiguity into an executable technical plan.
- Our customers often operate large, regulated data estates with strict requirements around security, governance, resilience, performance, and data sovereignty.
- Embed with strategic customers from post-sale discovery through production rollout, stabilization, and knowledge transfer
