About the role

A Forward Deployed Engineer (FDE) (Or Staff Integration Engineer) embeds directly with clients to deploy, customize, and troubleshoot our platform in their environment — the engineer who shows up when a bank is going live on our platform and things need to actually work, live, in front of that client.

What they're looking for

  • Engineering Excellence: 5+ years (IC5) or 8+ years (IC6) of experience as a full-stack or backend engineer shipping production systems. You meet the same high bar as our core IC engineering team
  • System & Integration Architecture: Proven track record building robust REST/GraphQL APIs, ETL pipelines, event-driven architectures, and integrations with enterprise legacy platforms
  • Security & Regulatory Acumen: Deep understanding of enterprise security protocols (OAuth, SAML, mTLS), data encryption standards, and operating within regulated compliance frameworks (SOC2, financial audit paths)
  • High Technical Presence: Exceptional written and verbal communication. Ability to anchor high-stakes technical discussions, lead architecture reviews, and build trust with client engineering leaders
  • 0-to-1 Problem Solving: Comfort with ambiguity. Ability to ingest messy, unstructured financial/estate data and rapidly build pragmatic, well-tested solutions
  • Prior experience in WealthTech, FinTech, SaaS integrations, or custodian platform ecosystems (e.g., Schwab, Fidelity, Pershing, Salesforce Financial Services Cloud)
