About the role

Founding FDE role embedding with customers to design, debug, and deploy production-grade AI code review and governance solutions in on-prem, air-gapped, and regulated environments. You’ll own technical delivery from prototype to production, build customer-specific extensions, and shape field engineering standards, playbooks, and tooling.

Responsibilities

  • Own technical delivery across multiple deployments from first prototype to stable production, including core engineering work that unblocks strategic accounts.
  • Lead deep technical diagnosis and remediation in our codebase and production environments, model routing and gateway behavior, large-PR scaling, multi-pass behavior, performance and reliability issues.
  • Build customer-specific extensions (MCP servers, agent skills, platform integrations) that deliver immediate value and become durable product capability; upstream them into the main roadmap where appropriate.
  • Embed closely with customer engineering teams: serve as their senior technical counterpart for hands-on debugging, architecture reviews, and joint implementation.
  • Scope work, sequence delivery, and remove blockers early; make deliberate trade-offs between scope, speed, and quality to protect delivery timelines.
  • Partner with Product, Research, and Platform to convert account learnings and eval-driven feedback into roadmap items, specs, and prioritized engineering work.
  • Codify working patterns into tools, playbooks, runbooks, and reproducible benchmarks that Support and account teams can operate independently and help scale the field engineering function across the organization.
  • Keep teams moving through clarity and follow-through; model calm judgment when the stakes are high.
  • Be a champion for our mission in the field: every deployment is an opportunity to demonstrate it.

Qualifications

  • Bring 5+ years of experience in a technical, customer-facing role as a Forward Deployed Engineer, a Software Engineer with consulting exposure, or a founder with hands-on deployment experience.
  • Experience building or consuming MCP servers or agent frameworks.
  • Have scoped and delivered complex systems in fast-moving or ambiguous environments you know how to sequence work and protect delivery without slowing everything down.
  • Write and review production-quality code in Python, TypeScript or comparable stacks; you contribute directly in the code when it matters.
  • Have production experience with LLMs: advanced prompt engineering, agent development, evaluation frameworks, and deployment at scale and you actively stay current with the latest capabilities and implementation patterns.
  • Have debugged hard problems in live distributed systems under time pressure and can write a postmortem that actually prevents recurrence.
  • Have shipped integrations that started as customer-specific work and became broadly reusable product capability.
  • Communicate clearly with engineers and non-technical stakeholders alike; you conduct discovery well, convey technical concepts to diverse audiences, and spot risks early enough to act on them.
