## About the role

We're hiring Senior Forward Deployed Engineers as we scale our FDE organization. This is a senior individual contributor role — for engineers who want to stay engineers: you'll be the technical anchor of a pod of FDEs, own our most complex enterprise deployments, and build the tooling and practices that make every deployment after yours faster. Your impact spans the org — the systems, patterns, and standards you build become how every pod operates.

## What they're looking for

- Strong engineering foundation. 5+ years of production software engineering, ideally at companies known for high engineering bars. You've shipped and operated real systems at scale
- Deep on the stack. Expert in Python, APIs, cloud infrastructure, CI/CD. You debug distributed systems under pressure and learn new integration surfaces quickly
- AI-native. Hands-on with LLM agent systems — orchestration, tool calling, evals, context engineering — and the latency budgets real-time voice demands (or the chops to ramp fast)
- Customer-tolerant. You can sit across from enterprise stakeholders, translate ambiguity into a plan, and stay calm when production is on fire in front of them
- High agency. You find the highest-leverage problem and go, with limited or no guidance
