Job Description

About the Role

We are looking for a Forward Deployed Engineer to be an early non-founder hire, owning every customer relationship and building the playbook for scaling from an early customer base to thousands.

  • Own customer relationships end-to-end, from onboarding through ensuring success and optimizing their experience

  • Automate manual and repetitive tasks by building workflows and systems to help the customer engineering function scale

  • Work directly with the CTO to translate customer feedback into shipped product features

What We're Looking For
  • Technical aptitude with ability to understand and explain complex product capabilities

  • Strong customer empathy and communication skills

  • Comfort with process automation and workflow design

  • Ability to identify patterns and drive systematic improvements

  • Collaborative mindset to work across engineering and customer-facing teams
