## About the role

The Forward Deployed Engineer is customer-facing every day. You work with customer end users and customer IT teams primarily remotely, with periodic on-site visits to customer operational sites for deeper engagement, training, and incident response. This is a 100% hands-on role split between customer engagement and code. You write Python and SQL daily, debug across systems you didn't build, configure Ayama for each customer's operational reality, and translate field observations back into product decisions.

## What they're looking for

- 5+ years of hands-on software engineering experience
- Daily Python fluency (Django/FastAPI preferred, transferable from Flask or other modern Python frameworks)
- Strong SQL: joins, aggregations, window functions, and reading query plans
- Track record of customer-facing engineering: deployments, integrations, or incident response with customers in the room
- Comfort debugging production issues in code you didn't write
- Direct, structured communication: you can write a clear bug report and explain a technical issue to a non-engineer
