## About the role

The Forward Deployed Engineer (FDE) is DA's most forward-leaning technical role: part of CX Engineering, but operating ahead of signed deals — in the room with a prospective client's engineering and risk teams, building the prototype that proves the Canton Network can solve their problem before anyone signs anything. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.

## What they're looking for

- Able to leverage previous experience in software engineering to deliver production-grade systems fast and credible prototypes under deal-cycle time pressure
- Knowledge and experience with Daml, Canton Network and ability to ramp up quickly
- Comfortable owning a client-facing technical relationship at the CTO / Head of Engineering / Head of Digital Assets level without support — able to design an architecture live in a room and defend it under questioning
- Full-stack builder: equally comfortable in smart contract/registry logic, backend integration, and enough front-end to make a demo land
- Strong financial services or capital markets domain knowledge — fluency in how a clearinghouse, custodian, bank, or stablecoin issuer actually operates
- Experience scoping and building proofs of concept or pilots in ambiguous, fast-moving environments where requirements are still being discovered
