Forward Deployed Engineer

About the Role

Join a full-stack engineering team building AI-powered software for certification, inspection, and compliance workflows. You will work directly with customers to understand their day-to-day operations and turn complex requirements into reliable production systems.

What You'll Do

• Work alongside customer operations teams to understand how certification, inspection, and compliance processes function in practice.

• Lead customer conversations, write specifications, and build end-to-end systems across the frontend, backend, data model, and AI layer.

• Own product areas from discovery through deployment, collaborating closely with company leadership.

• Ship software quickly, observe how users work with it, and iterate based on their feedback.

• Use judgment to distinguish broadly useful customer needs from one-off requests.

• Analyze customer documents and real-world outputs to build AI workflows for scheduling, technical review, conformity assessment, field inspection, and document intelligence.

What We're Looking For

• Three to six years of experience as a software engineer or product engineer, with a track record of shipping production systems.

• Full-stack development skills, including Python, TypeScript, React, Node.js, SQL, and cloud infrastructure.

• Experience building products or systems from the ground up, ideally in a forward-deployed, customer-facing, early-stage, or founding engineering role.

• Familiarity with AI/ML, large language models, or document intelligence.

• Strong communication skills and the ability to work directly with customers and adapt to real operational needs.

• Strong technical fundamentals and experience in a high-performing technology environment.
