 * Prior startup or founding-engineer experience wearing full-stack, customer-facing, and infra hats at once

## Description

The client is hiring Forward Deployed Engineers to own customer relationships end to end. Unlike traditional FDE roles where deployment is separate from product engineering, every engineer here is full-stack and customer-facing: you define scope of work with customers pre-sale, lead deployment after close, remain the customer's primary technical contact, and own a slice of the underlying infrastructure (frontend, backend, or the AI agent layer).

Tech stack: Full-stack across frontend (React, TypeScript), backend services, and AI agent / LLM infrastructure., * Real end-to-end ownership: pre-sale scope, deployment, and ongoing technical contact all in one seat, not siloed across teams

 * Strong pedigree and momentum: Series A, a small world-class team, 10x ARR growth in six months, 10k+ requests a month
 * Breadth by design: full-stack across frontend, backend, and the AI agent layer
 * Sponsorship supported: H-1B and O-1 sponsorship is open and actively supported
