About the role
Mesh is looking for an exceptional leader to build and scale our Forward Deployed Engineering (FDE) organization — a new function at the company, starting with you. We have a strong preference for someone who resides in the New York City area or San Francisco.
What they're looking for
- Define the operating model: engagement shape, deployment cadence, scoping standards, and hiring bar
- Hire at least 2-3 senior and staff-level generalists this year placed close to the partner engineering team and timezone they support
- Be open to running the first engagement(s) yourself to prove the playbook, then scale it through the team
- Be the person a partner's VP of Engineering or CTO calls — run integration reviews, hold commitments, and turn stalled technical conversations into signed plans
- Assign named owners, not a rotating pool: one engineer or small pod per account, with a mapped executive sponsor
- Own the qualification bar. FDE is justified when integration is the bottleneck, the account can absorb a dedicated engineer, speed decides the deal, or the pattern generalizes to the next ten partners

Reporting to our CTO, you'll lead a team of senior engineers who embed directly with a small, capped set of our most strategic partners — exchanges, neobanks, and prediction markets that drive the lion's share of our volume. These partners aren't buying a static product off the shelf. They're buying working crypto rails inside their product, against their brokers, their...
