## About the role

Amplitude is the leading AI analytics platform, and our ability to deliver measurable customer outcomes quickly is a key part of how we keep that lead. The Customer FDE (Forward Deployed Engineering) team sits at the intersection of engineering, product, and customer success — owning the technical delivery that takes validated products from co-development and implements them across enterprise customers.

## What they're looking for

- Own enterprise implementations end-to-end — engage during sales to map customer needs to capabilities, scope implementation plans, and deliver through post-deployment validation with measurable customer outcomes
- Ship early, ship often, and gather feedback — treat every customer interaction as an opportunity to validate your approach and course-correct quickly
- Build reusable patterns and playbooks — when you solve something once, make sure the next person doesn't have to solve it again, identify and document implementation patterns that reduce effort for subsequent engagements
- Feed structured signals back to Product — translate customer pain into actionable product feedback that influences the roadmap, surface gaps so they get fixed rather than hiding them
- Establish an AI-native engineering workflow — AI tools are integral to how you write, test, debug, and deliver code, not an occasional supplement, this is a professional standard, not an optional enhancement
- Proactively identify the right engagements — dictate what you work on, identify accounts that need FDE engagement pre-Sales, and have the judgment to say "no" when the fit isn't right
