What You Will Do

• Own end-to-end implementations with enterprise customers, from kickoff through production, working through whatever obstacles come up along the way.
• Understand customer pain points deeply and translate them into concrete product solutions, feeding signal back to engineering and product teams.
• Build internal tools and processes that drive efficiency and scalability across the FDE function.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams including GTM, product, and core engineering to deliver large-scale projects with cross-team dependencies.
• Run on-site workshops, discovery sessions, and technical enablement with enterprise customers.
• Maintain and operate solutions at high scale, ensuring the highest levels of security and reliability for customer deployments.
• Implement identity synchronization and lifecycle management solutions using SCIM, SSO, SAML, and other enterprise standards.
• Work with Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, AWS CloudFormation, Kubernetes) to deliver scalable, high-availability applications.
• Build and maintain high-quality software using TypeScript, Next.js, React, and REST APIs, including direct contributions to the v0 codebase.
• Be a daily practitioner of AI-assisted development: v0, Cursor, Claude, Codex, and whatever comes next.

About You

Core qualifications:

• Power user of AI coding tools. You use v0, Cursor, Claude, Codex, or equivalent daily and have a current, working understanding of the AI coding landscape: agents, MCP, context management, local vs. remote execution.
• Proficient in Next.js, React, and TypeScript. You're comfortable working directly in a production codebase.
• Experience in a GTM-adjacent engineering role, whether as a Forward Deployed Engineer, Sales Engineer, Solutions Engineer, or similar. You know how to navigate a sales cycle without losing your technical integrity.
• Experience working directly with enterprise customers: running discovery, building trust, re-engaging at-risk accounts, and finding internal champions.
• Willingness to travel to customer sites regularly.
• Strong problem-solving skills and ability to communicate complex technical concepts clearly.
