About the role

Forward Deployed Engineers embed on enterprise customer programs and do whatever it takes to make them succeed.
Sometimes that means providing connective tissue: configuring and integrating Opus, Hadrian's software and robotics platform, for the specific needs of a program.
The team is early and the people who join now will define what it becomes.

Work a program end to end - from the first ambiguous conversation through discovery, build, deployment, and iteration. You stay on it from the messy start to running in production.
Partner with the teams building Opus to go deep where a program needs it - architecting the integrations, data models, and configuration that let the platform run against a customer's real systems and production reality.
Build net-new software to make programs succeed - standalone applications, custom workflows, and integrations that solve problems Opus doesn't yet cover. Some stays bespoke to one program
Strong product instincts. You think about what to build, not just how to build it.
Relocation support may be provided for certain situations, based on business need.

You can show us concretely how AI already makes you multiples faster, and you're hungry to push it further.
Comfortable across the whole stack - everything from UI/UX work to designing backend systems, reaching for whatever technology best fits the problem rather than defaulting to what you know.
Prior forward-deployed, solutions engineering, or technical consulting experience - you've built directly against messy customer reality before.
To conform to U.S. Government space technology export regulations, including the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) you must be a U.S. citizen, lawful permanent resident of the U.S., protected individual as defined by 8 U.S.C. 1324b(a)(3), or eligible to obtain the required authorizations from the U.S. Department of State.

For this role, the target salary range is $120,000 - $250,000 (actual range may vary based on experience).
This is the lowest to highest salary we reasonably and in good faith believe we would pay for this role at the time of this posting.
We may ultimately pay more or less than the posted range, and the range may be modified in the future.
An employee's pay position within the salary range will be based on several factors, including, but not limited to, relevant education, qualifications, certifications, experience, skills, geographic location, performance, and business or organizational needs.

Medical, dental, vision, and life insurance plans for employees
Flexible vacation policy
When necessary, the Company also makes reasonable accommodations for disabled candidates and employees, including for candidates or employees who are disabled by pregnancy, childbirth, or related medical conditions.
