Most of the value of AI in a real business isn't magic — it's a machine doing the tedious parts correctly, every time. We listen first, build what actually helps, and we're honest enough to say when AI isn't the answer. Now we're hiring our first Forward Deployed Engineers to sit shoulder-to-shoulder with our clients and build it with them.

Forward Deployed Engineer means exactly what it sounds like: you get embedded with our clients and build alongside them. You'll sit in the conversations where problems actually get defined — not just where tickets get assigned — and turn ambiguous business needs into working software, fast.

You'll get direct support from our product and engineering leadership, and just as importantly, you'll learn alongside them and help shape how we build as we grow. Sprint demos are part of our practice, and you'll run them. You'll be in front of clients regularly — discovery sessions, working sessions, demos, and the occasional hard conversation — and you'll own outcomes, not just code.

We're leaning into how the engineering role is evolving. In a given week you might wear the hats of product owner, designer, engineer, test engineer, and Dev Ops. If you're energized by navigating how AI is changing this profession — while still holding onto the fundamentals that make software actually work — you'll fit right in.

• Embed with client teams to understand their business, their workflows, and where software and AI can genuinely help
• Translate messy, ambiguous business problems into scoped, shippable solutions
• Build and deploy production software end to end — discovery through design, implementation, testing, and operations
• Run sprint demos and working sessions with client stakeholders
• Work daily with AI development tools and agentic workflows, and bring real judgment to what they produce
• Partner directly with company leadership on solution direction and client strategy

• 1–5 years of software engineering experience
• A degree in computer science or a similar field
• Solid software engineering fundamentals: you can design, build, debug, and ship production systems and explain your decisions
• Strong fundamentals in at least one language and framework
• Experience building with modern stacks
• Comfort in the room with clients: you listen well, ask sharp questions, communicate clearly, and stay composed when requirements shift
• Genuine comfort with ambiguity — you'd rather figure out the right thing to build than be handed a spec
• An operator mindset: you care about the client's outcome, not just your commit history
• Enthusiasm for AI-assisted development paired with the discipline to verify, test, and hold a quality bar

This is a hybrid role based at our headquarters in North Andover, MA, north of Boston. You work alongside our leadership and client teams. Occasional travel is part of the role, typically quarterly plus conferences.

• Health insurance
• Unlimited PTO
• No equity — we'd rather tell you that upfront than dress it up. Profit sharing is something we're exploring as we grow.
• The chance to help build an engineering practice from the ground up, working directly with leadership — and the networking, exposure, and experience that come with being early

Our tagline is “Your Vision, Engineered,” and we mean it. We build custom AI systems that eliminate tedious work — sales automation, workflow automation, and custom forward-deployed builds embedded inside our clients' teams. We're an authorized partner in Anthropic's Claude Partner Network and build across Anthropic, Microsoft, OpenAI, and Google platforms. We'll support you in getting certified through the partner program as part of the role.
