Job description

SnapLogic is building the agentic layer that enterprises actually deploy. Jean-Paul, our AI agent platform, is live inside Slack, Teams, and email at some of the most demanding IT organizations in the world. As a Forward Deployed Engineer, you will sit at the front of this motion - working the room with executive buyers, the terminal with their engineers, and the stage in front of the market as this category is defined in real-time. You own the full arc of deployment for our most strategic accounts: discovery, architecture, technical build, executive rollout, and expansion. Approaching the role like a true hunter in ambiguity, you will walk into unstructured, high-stakes rooms and leave with scalable plans that customer leadership champions. We are looking for a passionate builder who has decided this is the technology wave they want to build a career on., * Lead executive engagements: Command the room during discovery and scoping with VP and C-level stakeholders, adapting sharp business insights to CIO/CTO audiences.

  • Deploy into complex environments: Own the technical rollout into customer VPCs, on-prem Docker, and firewalled networks, solving the unglamorous blockers (SSO, OAuth, egress policies) that kill pilots.
  • Build the context layer: Move concepts beyond demos by engineering data connectivity, testing, and reliability to ensure the AI is genuinely usable and trustworthy.
  • Expand the footprint: Proactively identify and pursue adjacent business functions and use cases to drive account expansion.
  • Shape the GTM narrative: Represent SnapLogic’s agentic AI point of view in briefings and competitive situations, codifying one-off wins into repeatable motions for the field team.
  • Feed the product loop: Bring field reality back to the engineering team building on the Claude Agent SDK - highlighting what broke, what worked, and what enterprises actually need next.

Requirements

  • Executive-level commercial presence: Poise, clarity, and the ability to confidently handle live pushback from senior enterprise executives.
  • A true hunter instinct: You create momentum without a playbook, turning ambiguity into closed revenue and account expansion.
  • Enterprise AI judgment: You easily distinguish valuable use cases from “AI theater,” deeply understanding both technical and commercial tradeoffs.
  • Deep technical range: 5+ years of hands-on experience across Linux, Docker, networking, major clouds, and enterprise SSO/OAuth, with enough depth to be credible to a customer’s most senior engineers.
  • Builder mentality & GTM fluency: You are energized by undefined requirements, comfortable taking small bets, learning quickly, and earning buy-in from scratch., * Production-minded LLM experience: You have built or deployed production systems powered by LLMs or AI agents - well beyond a weekend experiment.
  • Specific conviction for SnapLogic: A clear, well-reasoned answer for why our integration and data foundation matters for AI, grounded in your own career trajectory.
  • Mentorship instinct: A strong desire to teach the patterns you find and scale the team through the frameworks and playbooks you leave behind.
