About Glimpse

Automate deductions management with AI. Glimpse recovers lost revenue, disputes invalid claims, and saves 100+ hours monthly for CPG brands. 91% dispute win rate, $200M+ processed. Backed by Y Combinator.

About the role

We are seeking a Founding Forward Deployment Engineer. You'll sit at the point where customer reality meets our product: messy ERPs, undocumented data, and asks that sound simple until you dig in. You'll turn that ambiguity into working, well-built software. You'll also define what the FDE function looks like as it grows. The integration patterns, validation standards, and ways of working you set up will outlast any single customer. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.

What they're looking for

  • 5+ years of software engineering, with real time spent in customer-facing, solutions, or forward-deployed work
  • Hands-on experience with data pipelines and integrations against financial or operational systems (ERPs, accounting, inventory, order management)
  • Comfort with messy, legacy, and undocumented data sources
  • A track record of owning ambiguous projects from first conversation to production
  • Strong instincts for testing, validation, and auditability, plus a healthy skepticism about where AI belongs in a financial workflow
  • Daily use of AI-assisted development tools
More about this role

Glimpse is the leading AI platform for CPG brands — automating critical back-office workflows like deductions management, revenue recovery, and cash application. Since launching in April 2024, we've grown from 0 to 200+ customers, raised $52M from investors including a16z, 8VC and Y Combinator.

Our AI agents retrieve deduction data, validate charges, automate cash application, and dispute invalid claims — work that would take a full-time employee years to complete. For a $1B CPG brand, a single Glimpse agent reviewed 17,000 deductions in under 24 hours, identifying over $10M in recoverable revenue.

We're building the next-generation suite of services for consumer brands and are looking for exceptional people to help us scale.
