## About the role

As a Forward-Deployed Engineer, you are the tip of the spear. You’ll drop into the messiest, most critical parts of our customers’ businesses and turn legacy operations into AI-driven systems. You won’t follow a playbook. You’ll write it—alongside the smartest operators, engineers, and AI minds in the world.

## What they're looking for

- You think like a founder, not an employee
- You care about outcomes, not org charts or job titles
- You’re technical enough to build, and relentless enough to finish
- You thrive in chaos and move fast when others hesitate
- You see ambiguity as opportunity—not risk
- Strong software background (CS, Physics, Engineering, Math—or you taught yourself by building)
