Forward Deployed Engineer

About the Role

Join an early-stage B2B SaaS team building AI-powered software for certification, inspection, and compliance workflows. You will work directly with customers to understand how operations happen in practice, then turn those insights into production-ready systems.

What You'll Do

• Embed with customer operations teams to learn their certification, inspection, and compliance workflows.
• Run customer calls, write specifications, and build end-to-end software across frontend, backend, data, and model layers.
• Take ownership of product areas and ship working software quickly, refining it through direct user feedback.
• Assess customer requests and determine which needs can support broadly useful product capabilities.
• Analyze customer documents and outputs to develop AI-powered workflows for scheduling, technical review, conformity assessment, field inspection, and document intelligence.

What We're Looking For

• Three to six years of software or product engineering experience, with a track record of shipping production systems.
• Full-stack development skills, including Python, TypeScript, React, Node.js, SQL, and experience with AI/ML, LLMs, document intelligence, or cloud infrastructure.
• Experience building products or systems from the ground up, ideally in an early-stage startup or founding engineering environment.
• Ability to work directly with customers, communicate clearly, and translate complex operational needs into robust software.
• A strong academic background and solid engineering fundamentals.
• Experience in forward-deployed engineering or customer-facing product engineering is beneficial.
