About Our Forward Deployed Engineering Team

When we need to scale a new capability 0→1, our Forward Deployed Engineers work with our operations team and leading AI labs to identify problems and build solutions.

Day-to-day, you focus on the highest-impact work. One week you might build an app to capture a new class of speech data; the next, prompt-engineer a new evaluator; and another, embed with a customer’s engineering team to maximize the value of our datasets.

In this role, you will

* Design and ship custom 0→1 products for both our operations teams and customers.

* Navigate rapid context switches between technical deep-dives, customer-facing conversations, and data ops.

Your background looks like

* A scrappy builder who can take an idea from 0→1 faster than most could write a PRD.

* An excellent communicator who can bridge technical and business contexts.

* Comfortable across the stack — backend, frontend, data, and cloud.

* Proven track record shipping fast-paced features with customer impact.

* Prior experience as a Forward Deployed Engineer at a high-growth company, with software engineering and product management as part of your role.

Bonus points if you have

* Background as a former founder who has shipped and scaled products.

* Experience owning enterprise customer relationships.

* Familiarity with human data, audio, or machine learning.

* Top-tier consulting experience.

Compensation And Benefits

* Rapid career growth at one of the fastest growing Series A companies, within a new and booming industry.

* Competitive salary and equity package.

* Flexible PTO policy.

* Top-notch health, dental, and vision coverage with 100% company reimbursement for most plans.

* Paid lunch and dinner in the office, every day through DoorDash.

* 401k access.
