Join our team as a Forward Deployed Engineer, where you will own the delivery of customer projects from scoping to launch. You will act as a mini-PM, clarifying requirements, defining scope, and driving execution across stakeholders. You will build customer-specific solutions using Python and React, and develop creative solutions by combining our APIs with flexible workflows and lightweight tooling. You will also operate in an FDE-style capacity when needed, investigating customer environments/tools and resolving customer-impacting issues cross-functionally.

- Strong systems thinking, including the ability to reason about data flows, integrations, edge cases, and failure modes
- Comfort working across APIs, data, and operational tooling to deliver reliable customer-facing functionality
- 2+ years of experience and strong working knowledge of Python, with experience using it to build and support production workflows and internal tools
- Ability to scope and drive delivery end-to-end: clarify requirements, define technical approach, and execute in ambiguity

- Familiarity with SQL (or confidence picking it up quickly)
Familiarity with Github and software development approach
- Experience debugging production issues or working in live customer environments
