About the role

As a Forward Deployed Engineer, you'll sit at the intersection of engineering, product, and customer success.
Owning the technical integration will be the foundation of your role - especially at first - but we expect you to evolve into leading the technical delivery of special projects and initiatives for your customers.
This role is part solutions engineer, part product specialist, part technical consultant.

Responsibilities

Collaborate with engineering on product fixes, light customizations, and new deployments.
Our core team has worked together 3 times now, hailing from Carta ($7B) and AppDirect ($2B) and includes veterans from Ramp, Apple, Salesforce and C3 AI - people who know what great product looks like, and what it takes to build it fast.

Nice to have

Insurance or financial services experience a plus but not required.

Skills

Company info

Own technical integrations for new brokerage customers - from first install to full rollout.
Travel occasionally for key deployments or high-touch customers, if needed.
The best startups are adopting this model because it gives engineers direct exposure to customers, influence over the roadmap, and a faster feedback loop than traditional engineering roles.
