About this Role

We are looking for a Senior FDE with 5-15 years of experience to own the full technical delivery lifecycle for Vi's wellness clients, from pre-sales demos to post-sale integration and production deployment. You'll be the engineer-architect hybrid building AI-powered systems end-to-end for digital and location-based fitness providers like Equinox, Planet Fitness, and Peloton, while shaping the core product along the way.

What you need

Production engineering experience shipping customer-facing software, must have built complex, end-to-end systems (not just scoped or prototyped)
Strong software architecture skills, ability to design full systems, make integration decisions, and articulate tradeoffs (architecture diagrams, API design, fallback strategies)
Entrepreneurial, startup-minded engineer, founding engineer or high-growth startup background preferred; comfortable wearing 10 hats and making autonomous decisions
Fluency in modern languages (Python, TypeScript, Node.js, JavaScript) with working knowledge of data engineering patterns and cloud infrastructure
Polished client-facing communication, able to present on video to executives and run technical working sessions with customer teams

What will you be doing?

Own full technical delivery for wellness clients, building demos, gathering requirements, running design sessions, implementing, and testing production systems end-to-end
Architect and build AI agents and insight products by pulling from Vi's platform tools (feature store, knowledge base, MCP, agentic context packages)
Integrate with client data systems including CRMs and wellness applications, handling data ingestion, ETL pipelines, and heterogeneous data sources
Collaborate directly with clients' data and technical teams on Zoom calls, translating their workflows into production AI-orchestrated solutions
Feed field learnings back into Vi's core platform (~10-20% of time), influencing product direction through real-world client patterns
