About the role
We're looking for technical generalists who can work with editors, understand their needs, and build solutions that improve their work. You could be a software engineer with strong product sense, or a product-minded builder with strong engineering skills. You'll report to Aryan Kapoor, who leads our paid beta. Our core stack is in C++. Own customer accounts end to end: onboarding, delivery, adoption, and ongoing success, starting with Story and our paid beta seats. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.
What they're looking for
- Time in post: you've cut, colored, mixed, or otherwise worked in post-production yourself
- Strong product judgment: you define what success looks like, test your assumptions, and use evidence to decide what to build
- Deep software fundamentals: memory management, concurrency, data structures, and system design. You can defend the engineering decisions you make
- AI-assisted engineering: deep experience using AI coding tools to build and ship software
- User understanding: you ask good questions, uncover the real problem, and connect technical choices to how people work
- Ownership: you move work forward independently and follow through after launch

Forward deployed engineers live inside customer pipelines, fix what breaks the same day, and make sure the next customer needs less. We're hiring three.
