Forward Deployed Engineer

productboard

Productboard Spark is an AI‑first agentic experience that turns raw feedback and signals into clear problems, strong specs, and faster execution. The core platform powers product teams at 6,000+ companies, and Spark adds AI‑first capabilities to turn insights into actionable plans. Opportunity Productboard is looking for an experienced Forward Deployed Engineer (FDE) to join our Go‑To‑Market team. As an FDE you will be embedded in the field, working alongside prospects and customers to solve real problems and bring those learnings back to shape the product. On a Typical Day, You Will… Pre‑Sales & Technical Validation Partner with Account Executives to drive complex, multi‑stakeholder deal cycles – leading deep technical discovery, uncovering pain points, and aligning Productboard’s platform and Spark’s AI‑first capabilities to customer business objectives. Deliver high‑impact presentations, demos, and solution briefings that tell Productboard’s differentiated story and connect capabilities directly to the customer’s strategic problems. Own all technical aspects of the sales cycle: scoping and running PoCs in live environments, wiring up integrations, responding to RFPs, validating API and architecture fit, and identifying expansion opportunities. Product Feedback Loop Synthesize patterns across prospects and customers into structured, actionable product intelligence. Serve as the primary liaison between Sales, Product, and Marketing to share field insights that shape roadmap and positioning. Build repeatable PoC frameworks, demo environments, and technical playbooks that scale insights across the FDE team. Field Marketing & Thought Leadership Represent Productboard at industry events, conferences, and roadshows as a credible technical voice. Host and lead high‑touch executive dinners, product leader roundtables, and panels globally. Develop and deliver thought leadership content with Marketing – talks, live demos, and session formats that showcase the platform and Spark. Implementation & Activation Co‑build solutions with customers to secure technical wins – designing configurations, validating integrations, and proving value in their environment. Own activation end‑to‑end: configure integrations with tools such as Jira, Salesforce, Zendesk, Azure DevOps, Slack, and more; design workspace structures; and drive first value. Build scalable activation assets – guided setup flows, integration templates, and self‑serve onboarding resources. About You 4+ years in a Sales Engineering, Solutions Engineering, or Forward Deployed Engineering role at a B2B SaaS company. Hands‑on experience with REST APIs, webhooks, and SaaS integration patterns. Proven ability to drive complex, multi‑stakeholder deal cycles at the technical and executive level. Strong understanding of how product, engineering, and customer success teams operate. Exceptional communication and presentation skills; translate complexity into clarity. A product‑mindset perspective – ask “why does this customer need this?” and connect the answer to something bigger. A bias for ownership – follow through, take accountability, and don’t wait to be asked. Bonus Familiarity with product management tools (e.g., Productboard, Jira Product Discovery, Aha!) and AI‑assisted workflows. Comfort presenting to senior audiences – panels, executive dinners, or conference stages. Benefits Competitive compensation and equity awards. 401(k) plan with company match. Budget for online courses, books, and conferences. Paid vacation and sick days. Volunteer day for causes you care about. Free snacks, drinks, and catered lunches. Company contribution to gym and wellness memberships. Hybrid schedule: office days Mon, Tue, Thu; remote flexibility.
