Intelligence Infrastructure on People and Entities. Backed by Y Combinator.
About the role
Forward Deployed Engineers sit between our customers and our codebase. Some days you'll be in a working session with a compliance team learning how they actually run an alert to disposition; other days you'll be in our repos shipping the pipeline that makes that workflow ten times faster.
What they're looking for
- 3–7 years of professional software engineering experience
- Strong fundamentals: you can drop into an unfamiliar codebase, debug a production incident, design a clean API, and reason clearly about data models and failure modes
- Strong backend development and API design experience, proficiency in Python and JavaScript/TypeScript
- Experience running systems in production with observability, scaling, and on-call ownership
- Real comfort in front of customers: you can run a technical discovery conversation, push back on a stakeholder without damaging the relationship, and turn a vague business problem into a scoped technical one
- Judgment about what to generalize and what to leave bespoke, and the discipline to advocate for the former

Roughly half of this job is building the core product alongside the rest of engineering. The other half is deploying, extending, and tuning it inside real customer environments. This is not a support or solutions role, you'll be held to the same engineering bar as everyone else on the team. The difference is that you will be the engineer that customers go to first, and the one who sees their problems firsthand.
- Ship production code in the core platform alongside the rest of engineering including backend services, APIs, data pipelines, search
- Design robust, well-architected APIs...
