Forward Deployed Engineer
Foundr Magazine
AI assurance startup, $55M raised
Practice
- Your own book of customers within weeks, each paired with a commercial lead
- End-to-end delivery: scope the tests, work through auth and interfaces, wire their agents into the eval system
- The one-off integration when a customer doesn't fit the product yet
- Delivering results directly, and making the call on whether an agent meets the certification standard
- Turning field learnings into product, toward evaluations that run without an engineer in the loop
- 3-7 years as an early startup engineer who ended up owning customers, or in a solutions, integration or forward-deployed role
- Builds and debugs integrations yourself, and knows when the scrappy version is the right call
- Owns the customer relationship: scopes work, sets expectations, delivers bad news early
- Turns what you see in the field into reusable product instead of solving the same problem twice
- Bonus: founder experience, AI evals or red-teaming
