Encord is the multimodal data layer for physical AI. Manage, curate, annotate, and align petabytes of data - from sensor streams to video to text. Trusted by 300+ AI teams including Woven by Toyota, AXA, UiPath, Zipline, and more. Backed by Y Combinator and CRV.
About the role
We're looking for an exceptional Forward Deployed Software Engineer (FDSE) to join our engineering team. This is an engineering-first role: FDSEs are the technical owners who take the Encord platform into our most strategic and advanced customer environments, working directly with users and their engineering teams to understand complex problems, make system design decisions, and build production software that solves them. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.
What they're looking for
- A strong software engineer. You have solid fundamentals and the technical depth to design and build complex production systems
- A first-principles problem solver. You dig into the underlying problem, challenge assumptions, and make sound technical and product trade-offs rather than defaulting to the obvious solution
- A strong communicator and stakeholder partner. You can build trust, navigate competing priorities, and explain complex decisions clearly
- An autonomous builder. You operate with limited guidance, create structure from ambiguity, and drive problems through to production
- A versatile product engineer. You’re comfortable working across the stack and moving between hands-on engineering, product thinking, and conversations with the people using what you build
- 4+ years of software engineering experience with strong CS fundamentals
