## About the role

We’re hiring Forward Deployed Engineers (FDEs) to be the first technical hands on our new customer’s Roboflow deployments. After our Sales and Solutions Architecture team closes a deal and validates the technical approach, you step in to take it from proof-of-concept to production, the critical 0-to-1 phase where vision meets reality.

## What they're looking for

- Strong proficiency in Python, experience with systems-level work (Docker, Kubernetes, networking, Linux) is highly valued
- Hands-on experience deploying machine learning or computer vision models to production, you understand the gap between a working notebook and a reliable pipeline
- Experience with edge computing hardware and constraints (NVIDIA Jetson, industrial cameras, limited connectivity, on-premise security requirements)
- Excellent troubleshooting and debugging skills, you’re the person who figures out why it works in staging but not in production
- Strong interpersonal skills - you'll be embedded with customer teams and need to build trust quickly while navigating their internal dynamics. You'll talk to executives, engineers, and machine operators, sometimes in the same meeting
- Experience in one or more of Roboflow’s target verticals: manufacturing, logistics, food processing, automotive, or retail
