About the role

  • This is an engineering role-not a traditional pre-sales role.
  • You'll spend far more time writing code than creating slides.
  • As our first engineer focused on customer adoption, you'll also define how this function scales.

Responsibilities

  • Lead technical evaluations and proof-of-concepts
  • Design production architectures with customer engineering teams
  • Build integrations, reference implementations, and sample applications
  • Design Kubernetes and cloud deployment strategies
  • Support critical customer escalations when they arise
  • Partner closely with engineering to improve the developer experience
  • You'll own the technical journey from a team's first evaluation to running mission-critical workloads in production.
  • You'll build production applications, design distributed systems, debug Kubernetes deployments, troubleshoot complex production environments, and work side-by-side with customer engineers to solve hard infrastructure problems.
  • You'll establish implementation patterns, create reusable technical assets, and build the feedback loop that continuously improves both customer adoption and the product itself.
  • BUILD THE NEXT FOUNDATIONAL LAYER OF DISTRIBUTED SYSTEMS INFRASTRUCTURE.

Requirements

  • You don't need to check every box, but you'll likely bring experience in many of these areas.
  • Professional experience with Go or Rust
  • Experience with TypeScript, Java, or Python
  • You enjoy partnering directly with engineers to solve complex production problems.
  • You care deeply about developer experience, operational excellence, and elegant engineering.

Nice to have

  • United States (San Francisco Bay Area Preferred)
  • Travel approximately one to two weeks per quarter

Benefits

  • We're looking for our first Forward Deployed Engineer, who's interested in working directly with customer engineering leaders, to help bring that vision into production.
