Forward Deployed Engineer

What You Will Do

Embed directly with civil, structural, and MEP engineering teams to understand how they actually work
Earn trust with users who have never worked with a software company before
Find the highest-leverage problem inside a messy workflow, then build the smallest thing that solves it
Own projects end to end: discovery, development, deployment, and production support
Integrate with legacy architecture, engineering, and construction software
Build the data connectors, scrapers, browser automations, and document-processing workflows that make those integrations possible
Develop AI applications using LLMs, RAG, agents, and real unstructured documents
Turn conflicting user feedback into one clear technical direction
Convert successful bespoke solutions into reusable platform capabilities
Collaborate directly with the CTO on product strategy, technical architecture, and engineering culture

What Our Client Is Looking For

Strong software engineering fundamentals and a track record of building production applications
You have taken something from a blank page to production with real users on it
You are comfortable being the least knowledgeable person in the room about the domain, and you ask questions until you are not
Experience working closely with users who are expert at something other than software
Strong product judgment and the ability to uncover what users actually need, not what they first ask for
Comfort with ambiguous, incomplete, or conflicting requirements
A high-agency, low-ego approach. No task is beneath you if it unblocks a deployment
Experience or strong interest in LLMs, agent frameworks, RAG, browser automation, or document parsing
Willing to work in person in New York City and travel regularly to customer sites
