Agent guide: [/agents.md](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/agents.md). --- # Forward Deployed Engineer - **Company:** Potash Corporation Of Saskatchewan (Florida) Inc. - **Location:** United States (Remote available) - **Experience:** Experienced - **Contract:** Permanent contract - **Skills:** Application Programming Interfaces (APIs), Issue Tracking Systems, Web Services, Build Tools, Restful APIs - **Published:** September 4, 2026 - **Apply:** https://startup.jobs/forward-deployed-engineer-customer-success-current-company-8746496 ## About the Role * 2+ years in a customer-facing technical role; for example: technical customer success, implementation/onboarding, solutions or sales engineering, technical account management, or developer/technical support. * Technical fluency: comfort reading code examples, making REST API calls, following SDK quickstart guides, and working in a terminal or IDE. You can do light scripting and basic environment diagnostics, and you can hold a credible conversation with developers about their stack and constraints. (Hands-on experience building sample integrations or proof-of-concept code is a strong plus, and a core area we'll help you grow.) * A consultative mindset: you run real discovery, understand the "why" behind a customer's goals, and give prescriptive guidance rather than waiting for direction. * Excellent written and verbal communication; you can translate technical detail into business impact and adjust your message for both developers and senior stakeholders. * A bias toward action and strong follow-through: you prioritize what reduces churn and drives customer outcomes, and you own the result. * Bonus: Experience with document, content, or developer-tooling SDKs; familiarity with common web stacks and integration patterns; exposure to working alongside Sales on expansion or renewals. ## Description As a Forward Deployed Engineer (FDE) on our Customer Success team, you'll own a book of customers and act as their technical and strategic partner from day one of onboarding through every stage of their lifecycle with us. This is a consultative, hands-on role that sits at the intersection of Customer Success, Solutions Architecture, and Support: you'll be close enough to the product and the code to earn the trust of customer developers, and close enough to the customer's goals to drive adoption, value, and growth. You'll own onboarding, adoption, customer health, and risk mitigation across your portfolio, working in close partnership with Sales to protect and grow each account. You won't just manage relationships; you'll roll up your sleeves on the technical work that makes integrations succeed. You'll work primarily with customers using our Web SDK (both Standalone and backed by Document Engine), Document Web Services, and Document Engine., * Own onboarding and time-to-value. Lead technical onboarding tailored to each customer's platform, use case, and integration complexity. Set technical and business milestones together, and drive customers to their first successful integration faster. * Own adoption and customer health. Manage a portfolio of accounts, tracking health using both business signals (sentiment, usage, renewal timeline) and technical signals (API usage trends, integration progress, support ticket patterns). * Own risk and retention. Identify risk early, including technical risk like architecture misalignment or platform constraints, and build mitigation plans that include concrete technical interventions, logged and maintained in our system of record. * Partner with Sales on growth. Surface and qualify expansion and upsell opportunities using technical discovery (new SDK platforms, advanced features, additional workloads), and partner closely with Sales to advance them. * Be the customer's technical advisor. Run technical discovery into each customer's stack, deployment model, and integration requirements. Guide developers through integration patterns, troubleshoot implementation issues, and provide prescriptive, consultative guidance. * Enable and advocate. Deliver targeted demos and technical enablement sessions and POCs on the fly, build developer champions within your accounts, and bring the customer's voice to Product, Engineering, and Leadership., * Self-Starters: You take action without waiting for direction, turning obstacles into opportunities with creativity and persistence. * Owners: You take responsibility for solutions and outcomes, always looking for ways to improve what's within your control. * Doers: You're energized by progress, motivated to create meaningful impact, and eager to tackle challenges. ## Related Videos - [Developer Time Is Valuable - Use the Right Tools - Kilian Valkhof](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1792-developer-time-is-valuable-use-the-right-tools-kilian-valkhof) - [Modern Data Architectures need Software Engineering](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1030-modern-data-architectures-need-software-engineering) - [Rest API Antipatterns](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100208-rest-api-antipatterns) - [Migrating half a million users to a new payment service provider](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/730-migrating-half-a-million-users-to-a-new-payment-service-provider) - [Building a framework-independent component library](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1679-building-a-framework-independent-component-library) - [Navigating the Corporate Jungle: Life as a Developer in a large Company](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/621-navigating-the-corporate-jungle-life-as-a-developer-in-a-large-company) ## Related Articles - [How We Built a Worry-Free System That Runs for 10+ Years – And What We’d Do Again](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/751-how-we-built-a-worry-free-system-that-runs-for-10-years-and-what-we-d-do-again) - [Fully Remote Software Engineer Jobs](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/447-fully-remote-software-engineer-jobs) - [Is Software Engineering Over-Saturated?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/418-is-software-engineering-over-saturated) - [How to Answer the Interview Question: “Why Do You Want to Be a Software Engineer?”](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/392-how-to-answer-the-interview-question-why-do-you-want-to-be-a-software-engineer) - [Highest Paying Tech Companies for Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/220-highest-paying-tech-companies-for-developers) - [Why Upskilling And Reskilling is Important For Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/428-why-upskilling-and-reskilling-is-important-for-developers)
