## Description

We are looking for a Forward Deployed Engineer with 3-6 years of experience to embed directly with client''''s portfolio companies, ship agentic software into live operations, and own the outcomes end-to-end. This is a Palantir-style FDE role at a software holding company - you''''re not writing decks, you''''re building running systems that compound across an entire portfolio.
What will you be doing?

 * Embed with portfolio companies (portcos) to understand their operating model, earn operator trust, and identify the 2-3 highest-leverage workflow opportunities for agentic software.
 * Ship the wedge - build integrations, prompts, evals, and UI surfaces to land the first agentic loop at each portco using client''''s core platform.
 * Operate and tune deployed systems post-launch, adjusting autonomy tiers and handing off cleanly to portfolio ops once stable.
 * Serve as the technical face of client to portco GMs - building trust, setting expectations, and ensuring the system is seen as their leverage.
 * Bring patterns back to HQ and codify learnings into reusable playbooks that accelerate every future deployment in the same vertical.
