Our platform integrates deeply into enterprise ERP and CRM systems (including SAP and Oracle) and is trusted by a growing number of customers across industries like HVAC, electrical, and building materials. As a Forward Deployed Engineer, you'll be the critical technical bridge between our AI product and its real-world deployment inside complex enterprise environments. You'll own the full implementation lifecycle - from sales handoff to go-live - working directly with customers every day while feeding insights back to the core engineering team. This is a high-ownership, high-impact role at the intersection of engineering, product, and customer success. What You'll Do Own end-to-end technical implementation of customer deployments, from initial handoff through go-live. Configure and fine-tune AI models for customer-specific use cases, including prompt engineering and model behavior adjustments. Structure customer data and build system integrations with platforms like SAP and various REST/GraphQL APIs. Interpret unstructured RFQs (PDFs, emails, Excel files) and translate them into automated quoting workflows. Develop prototypes to demonstrate new features or solve emerging customer problems, then evolve them into scalable solutions. Engage daily with technical users and senior business stakeholders to translate real pain points into engineering decisions. Act as the voice of the customer internally, surfacing product gaps and patterns to the core engineering team. ## Related Videos - [Watch Tests Go Brrrr! : Getting Started with Cypress in ReactJS](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/282-watch-tests-go-brrrr-getting-started-with-cypress-in-reactjs) - [Developing the Backend with Stefan Lingler, CTO at Shpock](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100360-developing-the-backend-with-stefan-lingler-cto-at-shpock) - [Putting the Graph In GraphQL With The Neo4j GraphQL Library](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/257-putting-the-graph-in-graphql-with-the-neo4j-graphql-library) - [Robots are coming into the wild!
