Description

About the role

We’re looking for a founding Forward Deployed Engineer to join our founding team and lead the adoption of Finto’s AI-powered automation for some of the world’s largest enterprises. You’ll be the trusted partner guiding finance teams through onboarding, integration, and - most importantly - putting AI directly into their hands so they can radically reduce manual work and unlock new levels of productivity.

Lead enterprise customers from contract signature through full-scale adoption, ensuring successful rollout and long-term expansion.
Work directly with finance teams to redesign critical processes, embedding AI where it creates the most business value.
Partner closely with customers to deeply understand their ERP environment, data structures, accounting workflows, and success metrics.
Serve as the bridge between customers and our engineering team - gathering requirements, translating feedback into product insights, and surfacing unmet needs.
Analyze AI performance using evals, with a strong affinity for SQL and working with complex, real-world customer data
Build playbooks, onboarding frameworks, and training materials to create a scalable foundation for customer success

25 vacation days + 2 fixed “company recharge days.”
