About Sainapse

Sainapse reads the tickets, documents, and account signals your teams already work, then completes the work inside Salesforce, ServiceNow, SAP, or Freshdesk. Backed by Accel.

About the role

Sainapse runs inside high-stakes customer workflows. Getting from a promising use case to production requires more than configuration: someone has to understand the process, map the systems, build the integrations, prove quality, manage launch risk, and turn what was learned into a better product. As a Forward Deployed Engineer, you will own that path for strategic customers—from an agreed POC scope through hands-on delivery, evaluation, production launch, and early expansion.

What they're looking for

  • Location: San Francisco, in person, travel to customer sites as needed
  • Type: Full time
