Forward Deployed Engineer

Work directly with engineering teams to turn real workflow problems into reliable AI-assisted software delivery.

The role

Own the bridge between the product and the people using it. Help partners understand their codebases, define a useful first use case, and bring what you learn back into Corben’s product.

What you’ll do

  • Lead technical discovery with partners: map their stack, delivery workflow, constraints, and acceptance criteria.
  • Build scoped integrations, prototypes, and reference implementations with clear handoffs.
  • Investigate issues across application code, infrastructure, and third-party APIs.
  • Define verification plans and help teams review the security and correctness of proposed changes.
  • Translate recurring partner problems into product improvements and reusable documentation.
  • Communicate progress, risks, and decisions clearly with both technical and nontechnical stakeholders.

What you bring

  • Experience shipping and debugging production web applications or developer tooling.
  • Strong programming skills in TypeScript, Python, or a comparable language, plus confidence reading unfamiliar code.
  • Practical understanding of Git workflows, APIs, authentication, automated checks, and cloud environments.
  • Ability to turn an ambiguous business problem into a bounded technical plan.
  • Comfort working directly with customers and explaining technical tradeoffs in plain language.
  • Independent execution and thoughtful written communication in a remote team.

Nice to have

  • Experience with coding agents, LLM applications, or evaluation frameworks.
  • A background in solutions engineering, technical consulting, or developer relations.
  • Open-source contributions or public technical writing.

Your first priorities

  • Understand the product and document a representative partner workflow.
  • Deliver a scoped integration or pilot with measurable acceptance criteria.
  • Turn feedback into a reusable implementation pattern and a product recommendation.

Working remotely

This is a remote role. Eligible hiring locations, working hours, collaboration overlap, and engagement terms will be discussed during the hiring process. We value clear writing, reliable follow-through, and making work visible to teammates.

How to apply

Share your relevant experience, a CV or professional-profile link, and a short example of work that shows how you approach problems. You do not need to match every nice-to-have to introduce yourself.
