## About the role

Forward Deployed Engineers are how Ironsite turns the reality of the jobsite into working software. You're an engineer first. You write code, build integrations, and ship tools. But you do it from inside the problem, on jobsites, in trailers, and on calls with the contractors who use what you build.

## What they're looking for

- 2+ years building software in production. You own features end to end, not just tickets
- Comfort with ambiguity and high autonomy. You'll often be the only Ironsite engineer on site, scoping and building in real time
- Strong communication across very different audiences. You can align with an engineer and earn the trust of a field superintendent in the same day
- Willingness to travel to active jobsites regularly (typically 5-10 days per month), including multi-day deployments
- Comfort working in active construction environments. Outdoors, in varied weather, at height, and in compliance with site-specific safety requirements
- Valid driver's license and ability to travel domestically without restriction
