Forward Deployed Engineer

About the Role

Join a SaaS product engineering team building AI-powered tools for certification, inspection, and compliance workflows. You will work directly with customer operations to turn real-world processes into reliable software that improves how these workflows are carried out.

What You'll Do

• Work alongside customers to understand how certification, inspection, and compliance processes operate in practice.

• Lead customer calls, write product specifications, and build full-stack systems from user interface through backend, data model, and AI components.

• Own product areas from discovery through production delivery, collaborating directly with company founders.

• Ship software quickly, observe how customers use it, and refine it based on feedback.

• Use judgment to distinguish customer requests that apply broadly from those that are specific to one workflow.

• Analyze customer documents and real-world outputs to develop AI-enabled workflows for scheduling, technical review, conformity assessment, field inspection, and document intelligence.

What We're Looking For

• Three to six years of software or product engineering experience, with a record of building and shipping production systems.

• Full-stack development skills, including Python backend services, TypeScript, React or a similar modern frontend framework, and data modeling.

• Experience integrating AI or machine learning systems into production products, including LLMs or document intelligence.

• Experience building products or systems from the ground up, ideally in an early-stage or founding engineering environment.

• Comfort working directly with customers and translating operational needs into durable software.

• Strong technical fundamentals and the ability to work across frontend, backend, and cloud infrastructure.
