About the Role
We are a leading Internet company launching a new, high‑priority business initiative in North America. We are building a greenfield US delivery team and looking for a Forward Deployment Engineer who will act as the primary bridge between our product and our enterprise clients.
Unlike traditional engineering roles, this position is customer‑centric: you will be responsible for the end‑to‑end delivery experience—from onboarding and integration through ongoing adoption and value realization. Your success is measured not by lines of code, but by customer satisfaction, retention, and expansion. You will work closely with client stakeholders (both technical and business) to ensure our AI‑powered solutions are deployed smoothly, adopted widely, and deliver tangible business outcomes.
This is an ideal role for someone who enjoys solving real‑world problems, has a knack for translating technical concepts into business language, and takes pride in making customers successful.

Why This Role?
The FDE title may be technical, but at its core it’s about bridging the gap between innovation and real‑world value. In 2025–2026, companies are moving beyond AI demos – they need people who can deliver results and make customers love the product. This role offers you the autonomy, visibility, and impact that you’d expect from a founding‑level position, without the risk of a true startup. Join us in building something new from the ground up.
We are an equal opportunity employer. All qualified applicants will receive consideration without regard to race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, disability, or veteran status. Candidates must be authorized to work in the United States.
