Your tasks

We’re looking for a Forward Deployed Engineer to own end-to-end software delivery for customers, primarily based in the US. Working closely with our customer-facing team, you’ll turn business requirements into practical, production-ready applications.

This is a broad, hands-on role combining software engineering, solution architecture, technical delivery and occasional customer engagement. You’ll have significant autonomy, using AI-assisted development tools to build products efficiently while ensuring high standards of code quality, security and reliability.

  • Own projects from requirements gathering and technical design through to development, testing and deployment.
  • Translate ambiguous business problems into effective software solutions.
  • Use AI-native development tools to build, review and deploy applications.
  • Make architectural and technical decisions, balancing speed, quality and maintainability.
  • Collaborate with customers and internal teams to ensure successful delivery.
  • Take ownership of project progress and provide feedback to improve the platform.

Requirements

  • Strong professional software engineering experience, ideally at senior level.
  • Proven experience building and shipping complete software products.
  • Solid understanding of software architecture, web applications, APIs and databases.
  • Confidence using AI coding tools and validating AI-generated code.
  • Strong technical judgement, communication and problem-solving skills.
  • Ability to work autonomously, manage delivery and translate business needs into technical solutions.

Desirable Experience

  • Startup or small-team environments.
  • Building products from scratch or founding a software business.
  • Technical leadership, project delivery or solution architecture.
  • Direct customer engagement and experience working with non-technical stakeholders.
  • Familiarity with AI-native development and agentic coding tools.
