About the role
- As our Founding Forward Deployed Engineer, you will be the technical owner of Amari's deepest enterprise customer relationships.
- You will live inside the workflows of logistics companies - writing the code, designing the integrations, and shipping the customer-facing capabilities that make Amari real in production.
- You will be the first FDE on the team, which means you set the bar.
Responsibilities
- architecture, build customer-facing capabilities, and stay deeply engaged through go-live and beyond.

- Build customer-facing capabilities that strengthen the broader Amari platform: Bring learnings back to the core platform team so every Amari customer gets a stronger product.
- 5-9 years of professional software engineering experience, with meaningful time as a senior IC or tech lead. You've shipped production systems at scale and been on the hook when they broke.
Requirements
- You know when a hack is the right call - and you know how to refactor it before it becomes tech debt.
- In-Person Collaboration: You are energized by working shoulder-to-shoulder with founders and engineers in our San Francisco office.
Nice to have
- Domain advantage (significant plus): Direct experience in logistics.
- Strong Python fundamentals.
Benefits
- You want founding-level ownership and equity, with the title and impact to match
