About the role

  • Sight is one of the key ways we understand the world, and soon this will be true for the software we use, too.
  • Today, over 1M+ developers, including those from half the Fortune 100, use Roboflow's computer vision AI open source and hosted tools.
  • That includes counting cells to accelerate cancer research, improving construction site safety, digitizing floor plans, preserving coral reef populations, guiding drone flight, and much more.

Responsibilities

  • Once you've proven the deployment works in production and the customer's team is equipped to operate it, you hand off to our Implementation Engineers who scale, optimize, and expand the solution across additional use cases.
  • 0-to-1 Deployment: Take validated proof-of-concepts from the pre-sales process and build the first production deployment. This includes data pipeline setup, model optimization, edge device configuration, and integration with customer infrastructure.
  • That feedback loop back to Product and Engineering shapes what we build next, and it's one of the most valuable things FDEs bring back to the company.
  • Knowledge Transfer & Handoff: Document your deployment architecture, create runbooks, and train the customer's team so they can operate the system independently. Provide a clean handoff to Roboflow's Implementation Engineers for scaling and expansion.
  • Infrastructure is unfamiliar, data pipelines need to be built, edge devices need to be configured, and models need to perform in real-world conditions, not just in a demo or a lab.
  • De-risk New Deployments: Identify and resolve technical risks early. If a customer's environment won't support the planned architecture, you find the alternative before it becomes a project failure.

Requirements

  • Strong proficiency in Python
  • experience with systems-level work (Docker, Kubernetes, networking, Linux) is highly valued.
  • The FDE role is more than just execution, you are also our eyes and ears in the field.

Compensation

  • To determine your salary, we use a number of market and data-driven salary sources.

Benefits

  • $4000/yr Travel Stipend to travel anywhere anytime to work alongside other Roboflowers
  • $350/mo Productivity stipend to spend on things that make your work environment more productive, like high-speed internet at home or a co-working space
  • $500/one time Home office
  • Cover up to 100% of your health insurance costs for you and your partner or family
  • Equity in the company so we are all invested in the future of computer vision
  • After our Sales and Solutions Architecture team closes a deal and validates the technical approach, you step in to take it from proof-of-concept to production, the critical 0-to-1 phase where vision meets reality.
  • You'll embed directly with new Customers, working alongside their engineering and operations teams to build and deploy their first production computer vision workflows on Roboflow.
  • Handle the messy realities of real-world computer vision: lighting variability, camera calibration, model drift, network latency, and edge hardware constraints.
