I’m working with a fast-growing technology business building software that helps companies in a complex industry modernise the way they operate.

They’re expanding their engineering team and looking for a Forward Deployed Engineer to work across engineering, product and customers.

This is a particularly varied role for someone who enjoys getting close to the problem, understanding how a customer operates and then figuring out how technology can solve it.

What you’ll be doing

• Working directly with customers to understand their technical and operational challenges
• Translating business requirements into practical technical solutions
• Building and configuring solutions on their technology
• Working closely with Product and Engineering to deliver new functionality
• Supporting integrations with customer systems
• Helping customers get the most value from the technology
• Communicating technical concepts to both technical and non-technical stakeholders
• Troubleshooting issues and helping improve the product and delivery process
• Getting involved across the full journey from initial requirement through to implementation

What they’re looking for

• Strong programming fundamentals — the ability to build and understand software is important
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills
• Comfortable working directly with customers and stakeholders
• Able to take an ambiguous problem and work towards a practical solution
• Someone who enjoys learning new technologies and unfamiliar domains
• Commercially aware and interested in understanding the “why” behind a problem
• Comfortable working in a fast-moving scale-up environment
• Strong communication and collaboration skills
• Experience working with complex B2B software or customer-facing technical projects would be useful
