About the role

Forward Deployed Engineer at ReadMe, responsible for end-to-end technical and strategic ownership of enterprise accounts, onboarding, adoption, renewal, and expansion, with hands-on implementation, customer collaboration, and AI-assisted workflows.

Responsibilities

Own a book of enterprise accounts end to end. Onboarding, adoption, renewal assistance, and expansion. Be the primary technical and strategic contact for each.
Be on customer calls regularly, including: implementation kickoffs, working sessions, QBRs, and escalations. This is a customer-facing role, not a ticket-queue role.
Act as the product SME for your accounts. Know ReadMe deeply enough to answer product questions in real time, and debug alongside customers when something isn't working.
Get hands-on with the technical implementation. Review OAS files, help wire up CI/CD syncing via the ReadMe CLI or API, troubleshoot custom JS/CSS and auth setups, and prototype solutions before handing off to Engineering.
Build AI into how you work. Use AI tools to draft implementation plans, analyze account health across your book, triage and summarize customer requests, prototype scripts, and automate the repetitive parts of the job so you spend more time solving real problems.
Identify expansion and growth opportunities across your book and partner with Sales to close them.
Advocate for customers internally, surface health risks early, and feed structured product and bug feedback to Product and Engineering.

Qualifications

Technical enough to read an OpenAPI spec, poke at a customer's HTML/CSS/JS, understand SSO and auth flows, and use Git and a CLI comfortably
You don't need to be a software engineer, but you should be able to hold your own with one.
Strong communication, organization, and multi-project management
Experience using AI as a working tool to build prompts, workflows, or small automations
Problem-solving mindset with a preference for figuring out solutions over escalation
