Requirements
Skills
- 10+ years of experience in software engineering, solutions architecture, or a technical customer‑facing role such as forward deployed engineering or consulting
- 2+ years of people management experience within a services/post‑sales/FDE organization with a track record of hiring, developing, and retaining strong engineers
- Experience building organizations from 0→1, not just inheriting an existing one
- Experience working directly with enterprise customers on technical implementations, including comfort navigating complex organizational dynamics
- Executive presence with the ability to move fluidly between strategic conversations with senior stakeholders and hands‑on debugging sessions with engineers
- Strong written and verbal communication skills, able to translate technical complexity into clear narratives for diverse audiences
- Genuine excitement about building something new and defining what great looks like for a team that doesn't yet exist
Responsibilities
- Hire, develop, and retain a world‑class team of Forward Deployed Engineers, setting a high bar for technical talent and customer instincts
- Conduct regular 1:1s, provide technical mentorship, and invest in the career growth of each team member, creating an environment where FDEs do the best work of their careers
- Staff and oversee customer engagements across the team’s portfolio, balancing customer needs, team development, and business priorities
- Collaborate with account teams and Engagement Managers during the pre‑sales process to qualify engagements, scope work, and inform statements of work
- Review technical architectures and code produced by FDEs, ensuring the team ships high‑quality, production‑ready solutions that solve real customer problems
- Stay hands‑on enough to lead technical discovery sessions, prototype solutions, and debug complex issues alongside the team when needed
- Build repeatable playbooks, starter repositories, integration templates, and an internal knowledge base that captures what the team learns in the field
- Define team OKRs that tie to customer success outcomes and product adoption goals, creating operational cadences (standups, retros, engagement reviews) that keep the team aligned
- Partner with Product and Engineering to translate field insights into product improvements and serve as the voice of the customer in internal planning
- Travel to customer sites as needed (25‑50%), particularly during engagement kickoffs and for the team’s highest‑priority accounts
