Forward Deployed Engineer

About the Role

Join a product engineering team building AI-powered software for compliance, inspection, and certification workflows. You will work directly with customer teams to understand how their operations function and turn those needs into production-ready systems.

What You'll Do

• Work alongside customer operations teams to understand real certification, inspection, and compliance workflows.

• Lead customer conversations, document requirements, and build end-to-end solutions across frontend, backend, data models, and AI components.

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

• Ship software early, observe how users work with it, and improve it based on direct feedback.

• Use judgment to distinguish broadly useful product needs from requests that are specific to one customer.

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

What We're Looking For

• Three to six years of software or product engineering experience, with systems shipped to production users.

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

• Experience building products or systems from the ground up, ideally in an early-stage startup or founding engineering role.

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

• Comfort working directly with customers and communicating clearly with technical and operational teams.

• Strong academic or technical fundamentals and an interest in operational workflows.

• Professional software engineering experience outside traditional consulting or professional services.
