## About the role

We are looking for a Forward Deployed Engineer with 3+ years of experience to own the end-to-end technical deployment of CommodityAI's product with customers—from sales handoff through stable production. You'll be the first FDE hire at a YC-backed AI startup growing 3x in 6 months, acting as the technical PM, onboarding lead, and customer champion all in one.

## What they're looking for

- 3–7 years of experience in forward deployed engineering, solutions engineering, implementation engineering, or another customer-facing technical deployment role
- Experience at an early-stage startup owning the full customer deployment lifecycle: onboarding, project management, and technical implementation
- Strong project management skills, with a demonstrated ability to juggle multiple concurrent customer deployments without dropping balls
- Deeply embedded in AI tools and agents in your day-to-day work. You should be actively automating your own workflows and building tooling, not just aware of the space
- Technically credible: able to read, write, and troubleshoot basic Python or TypeScript and understand APIs and data flows
- Comfortable translating messy real-world workflows into automations and working directly with non-technical end users
