Forward Deployed Engineer (US)

We're looking for a Forward-Deployed Engineer who is an outstanding engineer and a charismatic customer partner. This is an account-ownership, customer-facing engineering role: you own your accounts end to end, with no dedicated success manager, account lead, or hand-off layer standing between you and the customer. You are the single point of contact who builds the relationship, diagnoses the problem, ships the solution, and helps build, maintain, and expand the account, all at once. You will apply creativity and problem-solving to help customers implement complex business automations via our suite of internal libraries, tools, and products. You'll act as a trusted expert and be a human-in-the-loop partner to our agentic automation engine.

This role is inherently cross-functional, you’ll often be the bridge between product, engineering, and customer teams. It is as important to be comfortable with sales conversations and identifying upsell opportunities as it is to understand how we can expand Automat’s suite of AI-powered product offerings to improve velocity and scale.

Travel is not required for this role, but is possible.

• Methodically working through complex technical challenges, no matter how detailed or demanding, until the solution emerges

• Supporting customer pain points and expanding out-of-the-box product capabilities

• Collaborating in teams of both technical and non-technical members

• Finding creative, deterministic solutions to complex and unstable technical puzzles

• Bringing focus, urgency, and follow-through when deadlines get tight, treating crunch moments as a challenge to rise to rather than a burden to endure
