Forward Deployed Engineer

• A Forward Deployed Engineer (FDE) (Or Staff Integration Engineer) embeds directly with clients to deploy, customize, and troubleshoot our platform in their environment — the engineer who shows up when a bank is going live on our platform and things need to actually work, live, in front of that client
• You’ll spend approximately 15–25% of your time client-facing on average across a year, with bursts to 40–50% during high-stakes windows like cutover (when a client’s systems go live on our platform) or bank-audit windows (when a banking client is under regulatory examination and needs hands-on engineering support)
• Build integrations that scale across custodians — the institutions that hold and safeguard a client’s assets — designing connective tissue between Wealth’s platform and custodian systems that is reusable across your whole client base rather than one-off per client
• Apply deep security and systems expertise to integrations with external financial institutions, reasoning carefully about what is secure and what isn’t
• Operate with calm precision in regulated and adversarial technical rooms — bank compliance reviews, security audits, and other high-scrutiny environments where things can get tense and mistakes are expensive
• Maintain operational rigor around deployment, credential and key rotation, and incident response — the unglamorous but critical ops discipline that keeps a live financial integration from breaking silently
• Embed with clients during peak deployment windows to ensure our platform works reliably in their production environment
