# Forward Deployed Engineer

- **Company:** Hatch Ltd.
- **Location:** San Francisco, CA, United States (Remote available)
- **Salary:** $162,000.0
- **Contract:** Permanent contract
- **Skills:** Business Logic, Middleware, Software Engineering, Api Management

## About the Role

* Several years of experience in a similar client-facing role including 1-4 years of software engineering experience, with a preference or a background in consulting.
 * Proven ability to navigate a broad ecosystem of technology
 * Comfortable diving into comprehensive developer documentation to build custom middleware (like n8n flows)
 * Eager to transition into a dynamic, client-facing role and solve complex, high-impact business problems directly with clients.
 * Great communication skills with business and technical audiences

## Description

The Forward Deployed Engineer owns the technical implementation of complex integration workflows - the builds that go beyond what a standard onboarding can handle and where Hatch doesn't yet have a native solution., * Partner directly with sales execution to scope complex integration projects. You will navigate the gap between a client's business objectives and what their technology ecosystem actually supports by diving deep into comprehensive developer documentation.

 * Build custom n8n flows, direct API integrations, webhook endpoints, and middleware configurations for accounts that fall outside standard templates. You must be comfortable adapting to a broad ecosystem of technology where no two implementations will be exactly the same.
 * Own technically complex onboardings end-to-end: CRMs with no Hatch connector, multi-system orchestrations, custom business logic, event-based triggers, and anything requiring code
 * QA and test all implementations before go-live; own monitoring and iteration post-launch. Monitor what you ship and know when something you built breaks or degrades before the customer does
 * Define and enforce best practices across enterprise SaaS implementations. Create reusable architecture patterns and templates for common use cases so the team isn't solving the same problem twice
 * Act as the field-side voice for R&D. Identify recurring custom integration requests and surface reproducible patterns to Product with a strong POV on what should be built natively
 * Act as a primary technical consultant for our clients. This includes conducting onsite visits to understand their business needs, present architectural solutions, and ensure successful deployment.
