Forward Deployed Engineer
New York City
Onsite role
The platform you help build
Rebuilding the software development lifecycle around coding agents. The goal is a software factory that carries work from a business problem to a production system with increasing agent autonomy, where planning, architecture, implementation, testing, review, and delivery become one connected system rather than a series of handoffs.
You will learn how to structure work for agents, engineer durable context, evaluate outputs, and decide where deterministic software and human judgment remain in control. The system is early, it is already used by everyone here, and it provides real leverage today. Engineers who join now will help decide how it works.
This matters beyond your own engagement. Every engagement produces reusable agent systems, evals, and tools that make the next one faster, so the work you do compounds instead of ending when the client signs off.
We look for engineers who meet this bar:
- You have shipped production software that real users depended on and that you stayed accountable for after launch.
- You have built something real with LLMs, and you can explain what made it reliable rather than just impressive.
- You can walk into an unfamiliar domain and be genuinely useful within days.
- You can explain your decisions to a CEO as clearly as you can to another engineer.
- You already work with coding agents and have real opinions about where they help and where they do not.
