We’re looking for a Forward Deployed Engineer to work on-site with our customers, serving as the primary technical presence in customer engagements, leading pilots and demos, and supporting customer evaluation and successful adoption.

- Confident leading conversations onsite with prospects and enterprise customers while gathering requirements, shaping technical approaches, and delivering results that drive measurable impact
- A clear communicator who can go deep with engineers or simplify for non-technical crowds
- A strong operator who plans, executes, and follows through, keeping projects organized
- You lead with empathy, energy, and a problem-solver’s mindset
- Experience as a software, solutions, or sales engineer working with HR tech, ATS platforms, IDEs, developer tools, API-first or integration-heavy systems
