Forward Deployed Engineer

Jagger

Our client is a YC-backed fintech startup looking for Forward Deployed Engineers to join the team!

This company is rebuilding how America's banks process small business loans. As a Forward Deployed Engineer, you'll embed with bank teams, deeply understand how they work, and build software that transforms their day-to-day.

What you'll be doing:

  • Embedding on-site with bank teams to understand their workflows inside and out
  • Building and deploying AI-powered automations that replace manual processes
  • Owning the full lifecycle of what you build - from scoping through production
  • Traveling on-site to client locations roughly one week per month

What we're looking for:

  • Strong engineering ability in TypeScript, React, and Next.js
  • Experience close to real users - founding engineer, early-stage startup, or forward deployed background
  • Someone who gets obsessed with the customer's problem and builds their way through ambiguity
  • Excitement about regular travel and on-site customer work

This is an on-site role based in San Francisco. Relocation support is available for the right candidate.
