Forward Deployed Engineer

A company from the US San Francisco is looking for a Forward Deployed Engineer - with strong development in Python and responsibility for implementation at the client. And I am hiring on this role.

$200-300K per year + equity. Full-time, five days in the office in San Francisco. Visa support.

What you will get working in this role?

Experience of the full cycle: check an AI solution on the client’s data, build the needed tools, launch it and expand its use.

Besides experience - equity, working directly with founders, independence in solving technical tasks and the possibility to influence the product and the forming of the FDE function.

This is a technology company for developing an AI platform.

By the product of this company is already used by large clients, and the company is actively expanding the team.

Where is the company moving now? It is expanding the product’s capabilities and work with enterprise clients - from the initial check to implementation and new use scenarios.

Main tasks in this role:

• Check the quality of the solution on real client documents and build checks that detect errors and worsening.
• Independently create applications and integrations, work through complex technical problems and bring the solution to launch.
• Work with the client’s technical team: find out the limitations, remove obstacles and help expand the use of the product.
• Find repeating client problems and turn them into improvements to the common product.

Here is needed an engineer with strong Python, experience of independent development and launching products in a strong startup, understanding of AI limitations and experience of working with large clients.

If you like, or this is your strong sides:

• To figure out an unfamiliar system and find the cause of a problem.
• To build the solution yourself and check whether it works on real data.
• To discuss technical tasks with the client and see how he uses the result.
• To act independently when the task is not fully formulated yet.
• To move fast and carefully check the details.

This is a logical next step:

For a backend or product engineer who has already worked with client implementations and wants to be responsible for the whole solution.

For a technical FDE who wants more independent development and influence on the product.

For a founding engineer with experience of a B2B product, who likes to at the same time build, work with clients and help develop the engineering function.

Judging by external data, here are valued independence, attention to detail, speed of solving problems and personal responsibility for the result at the client.

Well, such a role. I myself like it very much, that is why I am working on it.
