What are the responsibilities and job description for the Forward Deployed Engineer position at Eagle?
Who we are
Eagle is an AI holding company with a simple mission: bolster American resilience by creating the next-gen engineering services firm.
Today American infrastructure faces no shortage of challenges — from natural disaster risk and climate change to outright age and deterioration.
The problem is that the way we design infrastructure is stuck in the past.
Engineers today spend most of their time bogged down in documentation, clunky CAD software, and manual workflows — acting more like back-office admin than inventive builders.
We’re on a mission to change that.
We’re acquiring and partnering with the best engineering design firms — civil, structural, environmental, MEP, and more — to embed AI at the core of their operations and create the engineering firm of the future.
About The Role:
As a Forward Deployed Engineer at Eagle, you’ll play a pivotal role in shaping the future of AI-powered engineering services. You’ll work across the stack to build intuitive, high-impact products that blend human expertise with autonomous AI agents, transforming how infrastructure is designed. This is an opportunity to join an early-stage team, have meaningful product ownership, and help define the engineering culture as we scale.
What You Will Do:
- Own the end-to-end development of new product features, from ideation to deployment.
- Work closely with customers and service technicians to gather product feedback and understand what is working and what additional features should be built out.
- Work closely with design and product teams to build user-centric experiences that empower technicians and enhance service delivery.
- Collaborate with AI and backend engineers to integrate our AI-powered platform into customer-facing tools.
- Drive technical decisions that shape our product architecture and set best practices as we scale.
- Ship fast and iterate, balancing speed with quality in a fast-paced, startup environment.
Who You Are:
- 2 years of engineering experience; comfortable working across frontend and backend systems.
- User-focused builder - you care deeply about the customer experience and sweat the details.
- Startup mindset - comfortable with ambiguity, eager to take ownership, and ship quickly.
- Experience working closely with designers and product managers to bring ideas to life.
- Bonus: Experience with AI-powered products or tools for technical users is a plus, but not required.
