Forward Deployed Engineer — Fintech Onsite CA– View

Sweet Tech builds financial technology for real operational needs. SweetOS is our platform of shared capabilities for building financial applications. As a Forward Deployed Engineer, you will work directly with customers and our engineering team to turn those capabilities into applications people use every day.

You will work through Sweet Tech’s autonomous agentic development systems. These systems carry out implementation; your primary responsibility is to define intent, understand the application architecture, direct the agents, and validate the result rather than write application code directly.

SweetOS provides reusable building blocks for assembling applications repeatedly. A capability developed for one application can be made available to other applications through shared components and well-defined interfaces. You will learn how those building blocks fit together, how applications use shared capabilities, and where a change belongs so it can benefit more than one product.

This requires strong engineering judgment: break down requirements, specify behavior and constraints, understand data flows and permissions, review agent-generated changes, and verify correctness, security, and production readiness. You remain accountable for the outcome even when the systems perform the coding.

Sweet Tech has its own Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) and Agentic Development Life Cycle. You will learn and follow these internal processes when defining work, directing autonomous agents, validating results, and delivering changes. Understanding our architecture and working within these development life cycles are core responsibilities of the role.

You will own delivery from discovery and scoping through implementation, rollout, and adoption. You will direct autonomous agents across the application stack, understand how customers work, and make architectural decisions about which building blocks to compose, extend, or create. You will remain accountable for the software after the demo.

• Work with customer stakeholders and end users to map workflows, understand constraints, and define measurable outcomes and acceptance criteria.

• Translate ambiguous business needs into a clear technical plan, realistic delivery milestones, and a working product experience.

• Specify and orchestrate agent delivery of customer-facing interfaces, services, data models, and integrations by composing the platform’s reusable building blocks.

• Connect customer systems and data with careful validation, error handling, access controls, and reconciliation where needed.

• Take solutions from prototype to production with automated tests, operational monitoring, deployment plans, and support documentation.

• Lead technical demonstrations, gather feedback, support onboarding, and investigate issues that prevent customer adoption.

• Identify recurring needs across deployments and work with platform and product engineers to turn them into reusable capabilities.

• Communicate scope, risks, trade-offs, and progress clearly to technical and nontechnical stakeholders.

• Strong full-stack engineering skills and experience shipping software that real users depend on.

• Ability to move comfortably between customer conversations, interface design, APIs, databases, integrations, and production debugging.

• Good judgment about security, data quality, reliability, and the difference between a useful prototype and a production-ready system.

• Clear written and verbal communication, curiosity about business processes, and the ability to establish priorities when requirements are incomplete.

• A disciplined approach to autonomous development: understand application…
