About the Role

The company is hiring self-starting software engineers for its Forward Deployed Engineering team. You will build new, 0-to-1 capabilities in the field with customers, end to end, moving quickly but responsibly on urgent problems where software makes a real difference. You value face-to-face time with end users and want to own what you build.

To do this well, you are curious and eager to solve problems, use sound judgment when weighing competing priorities, stay flexible, value outcomes over process, and thrive in ambiguity.

In a typical week, you might

• Spend the day on site with users, listening and asking questions to understand their pain points.
• Work with product managers and designers to scope, architect, and deliver new products and prototypes.
• Build and ship working, customer-facing prototypes.
• Find, prioritize, and fix the most important gaps in a prototype based on user feedback.
• Fail often, iterate quickly, and try again.

Responsibilities

• Visit customer sites to diagnose and understand pain points.
• Take part in end-to-end development of new features and capabilities.
• Iterate quickly to unlock customer value step by step.
• Write clean, testable, maintainable code.

• U.S. citizenship.
• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent work experience.
• 1+ years of front-end or back-end development experience (SQL, Java, and/or TypeScript/React).
• Ability to work independently with little supervision.
• A strong desire to work in a challenging, fast-paced tech environment.
• Willingness to travel up to 50%.

Nice-to-Haves

• An active U.S. security clearance, or the ability to obtain one with sponsorship.
• Startup or entrepreneurial experience.
