Senior Forward Deployed Engineer

Senior Forward Deployed Engineers (FDE) sit at the intersection of enterprise customer environments and a fast-moving internal product. They partner directly with customers to design, build, troubleshoot, and improve production solutions, and they are ultimately accountable for helping customers get to production.

This role is best suited for engineers who want to own technical outcomes end to end: understanding what a customer is trying to build, shipping the integration, and feeding learnings back into the product roadmap.

We are looking to speak to candidates who are based in Tysons, VA for our hybrid working model.

Partner closely with product and engineering teams to help turn field patterns into reusable product capabilities
