Forward Deployed Engineer

Role Description

We are looking for a Forward Deployed Software Engineer (FDSE) who thrives at the intersection of high-level architecture and deep-stack technical execution. This isn't a "one-off" integration role. You are a hybrid of a software engineer, product strategist, and technical consultant.

You will embed with our most strategic customers to solve their most complex problems. However, your mission is dual-purpose: while you deliver immediate value to the customer, you are simultaneously acting as a product scout. You will identify patterns in customer needs and translate those into scalable, core features for our SaaS platform.

What You'll be Doing:

• Lead the design and implementation of new features in our core SaaS product.
• Work across the entire stack, from optimizing database queries and API endpoints to crafting intuitive UI/UX.
• Architect production-ready integrations and workflows.
• Write high-quality, type-safe, and maintainable code in TypeScript, leveraging modern React and Next.js patterns for performance and scalability.
• Prevent "bespoke bloat" by identifying universal customer needs and collaborating with product and engineering teams.
• Contribute to CI/CD, testing, and performance monitoring to ensure the stability and reliability of your deployments.
• Mentor teammates and establish engineering best practices to level up the entire team’s output.

Qualifications

• 10+ years of professional experience in full-stack or frontend development, specifically within SaaS products or startup environments.
• Strong coder with shown proficiency in TypeScript/JavaScript, Python, Java, C++, or similar.
• Hands-on experience with Next.js App Router (server components, layouts, streaming, caching).
• Experience with tRPC or equivalent type-safe API frameworks.
• Experience implementing complex, data-heavy views with Tailwind and component libraries (shadcn/ui, Mantine, etc.).
• Background in UI/UX design or working closely with designers is highly preferred.
• Ability to design scalable systems and a solid understanding of frontend performance, state management, and accessibility.
• Excellent communication skills and the ability to work autonomously, acting as a consultant/partner to our customers while remaining accountable for deliverables.
• Ability and interest to travel up to 20% as needed to customer sites.

Benefits

• Remote work
• Flexible Paid Time Off
• Company Paid Holidays
• Insurance Coverage (medical, dental, vision, short-term & long-term disability, life insurance, and accident coverage)
• 401K
• Paid Parental Leave
• The annual salary for this role falls within the range of $150,000 to $170,000.
