What are the responsibilities and job description for the Forward Deployed Engineer position at Generative?
Forward Deployed Engineer
Location: Austin, TX
Working model: In-office
We're working with a fast-growing technology company hiring a Forward Deployed Engineer to join a small, highly technical team.
This is a high-ownership role for someone who enjoys solving difficult problems, working closely with customers and building solutions from the ground up.
The Role
You'll work across engineering, product and customer problems, taking ideas from early-stage discovery through to production.
You'll be involved in:
- Building and shipping production software
- Solving complex technical problems
- Working directly with customers and internal teams
- Prototyping and iterating quickly
- Taking ownership of projects end-to-end
- Working across different parts of the technical stack as needed
What We're Looking For
We're open to a range of technical backgrounds.
You'll likely have:
- Strong software engineering fundamentals
- Strong problem-solving ability
- Experience building production software
- Excellent communication skills
- Comfort working with ambiguity and ownership
- The ability to learn quickly and operate across different technical areas
This would suit someone who wants more ownership, more variety and more exposure to real customer problems than you'd typically get in a traditional software engineering role.
If you're looking for a technically challenging role where you'll have a genuine influence over what gets built and how, it's worth a conversation.
Salary : $140,000 - $170,000
