About the role
Productboard is looking for an experienced Senior Forward Deployed Engineer (FDE) to join our Go-To-Market team. This is the evolution of our Sales Engineer function — reimagined for engineers who want to do more than demo software. As an FDE, you're embedded in the field, working alongside prospects and customers to solve real problems, then bringing those learnings back to shape the product itself.
What they're looking for
- 6+ years in a Sales Engineering, Solutions Engineering, or Forward Deployed Engineering role at a B2B SaaS company
- A genuine builder's instinct — you don't just demo, you configure, integrate, and prototype live solutions in front of customers
- Hands-on experience with REST APIs, webhooks, and SaaS integration patterns, comfortable getting into the technical weeds during an evaluation
- Proven ability to drive complex, multi-stakeholder deal cycles — you can navigate technical buyers, IT, and the C-suite in the same engagement
- Strong understanding of how product, engineering, and customer success teams operate — you can speak credibly to a CPO and a Staff Engineer in the same meeting
- Exceptional communication and presentation skills, you translate complexity into clarity and make the technical feel accessible
