Forward Deployed Engineer

Comulate
San Francisco, CA Full Time
POSTED ON 1/12/2026
AVAILABLE BEFORE 3/6/2026
At Comulate, we’re transforming the insurance back office with AI. Our platform, which reinvents expensive and time-consuming accounting processes, is the first step in our vision to unlock the hundreds of billions of dollars spent on manual insurance operations.

Our Series B, announced in early 2025, led by BOND & Workday, comes on the heels of record growth and accelerating expansion plans.

Why you should consider joining

  • Record-setting growth, having gone from zero to 8-figure ARR within three years of founding, representing 95th percentile company growth among startups that achieve these milestones
  • Strong product market fit revealed in growth and through customer love, with users describing the platform as “the best thing since sliced bread” and "life-changing"
  • Our lean, talented team is creating category-defining products for large public and private enterprises, driving 7-figure ROI and cash-flow positive operations, providing the best of both worlds: outsized employee ownership and low company risk
  • We're continuing to take big, ambitious first-to-market bets for a highly committed customer base and an exciting pipeline of new customers
  • We’re in the early innings of our vision and poised to take advantage of the massive opportunity to deploy AI into core workflows throughout the insurance industry

About The Role

We're hiring a Forward Deployed Engineer to solve mission critical problems for our largest customers. You’ll work directly with customers to tackle high-impact challenges, applying AI and technical expertise to deliver meaningful business results. This role is ideal for an engineer who thrives at the intersection of product and customer impact.

What You’ll Do

  • Customer Discovery – Partner directly with customers to understand their goals, uncover pain points, and define clear technical requirements
  • Solution Development – Design and build features and scalable systems that drive measurable customer outcomes
  • Technical Communication – Translate complex technical ideas into easy-to-understand concepts for non-technical audiences
  • Cross-Functional Execution – Collaborate closely with Product, Engineering, and Customer Success to deliver impactful, customer-tailored solutions
  • Project Ownership – Lead multiple high-priority projects end to end, balancing speed, quality, and long-term scalability

Our team & philosophy

We’re backed by BOND, Spark Capital, Neo, and Workday, as well as founders/executives from Brex, Asana, Plaid, Applied Intuition, Coalition, and more.

Our team hails from companies like Airbnb, Google, Brex, and LiveRamp and we’re fairly low-profile: focusing the majority of our energy on delivering for customers and building a category-defining company.

We’re hiring predominantly in San Francisco 🌁, as we believe in-person collaboration is strategically important for a company at our stage — both for velocity and company culture.

Benefits

  • Competitive base salary and generous equity
  • Generous medical, dental, and vision benefits
  • 401K plan enrollment
  • Flexible time-off policy
  • Lunch & dinner every day
  • Paid parental leave
  • Company outings and offsites
  • (and more benefits as we grow!)
