Working directly with customers across financial reporting, sustainability disclosure, tax transparency, audit, and other regulated domains, this role designs, builds, and deploys AI-powered solutions on the Workiva platform. Success requires balancing innovation with the governance, auditability, and scalability needed for production use in highly regulated environments. This is not a traditional implementation role. The Forward Deployed Engineer combines customer-facing solution delivery with AI application development, including agent-based workflows, prompt engineering, system integration, and solution architecture. In close partnership with customer stakeholders, Sales, Product Management, and Engineering, this role defines new solutions through deeply understanding of customer needs. The Forward Deployed Engineer works within a purpose-built operating model alongside Product Management and Engineering. Product owns solution strategy and roadmap; Engineering builds and maintains the platform; the Forward Deployed Engineer owns what happens at the edge, deploying existing and emerging platform capabilities against real customer problems while continuously feeding discoveries back to Product and Engineering. This role solves immediate customer problems while creating reusable patterns and insights that help shape future platform capabilities. What You'll Do Own the hardest customer problems end-to-end * Take ambiguous, first-of-their-kind customer problems and drive them from prototype to stable production across multiple deployments. You own technical delivery, and you own whether it actually works for the customer Design and deploy AI-powered workflows * Design and deploy AI-powered workflows that address real customer challenges, building, testing, and operationalizing solutions while establishing appropriate controls for human review, exception management, and governance in regulated environments. The specific techniques evolve constantly; what matters is the ability to work at the frontier, figure out what hasn't been figured out yet, and turn that into something stable and repeatable Drive customer outcomes * Serve as a trusted technical advisor to customer regulatory, operations, and IT stakeholders. Facilitate executive discussions, technical workshops, and solution reviews while helping customers achieve measurable business outcomes and long-term adoption Shape the next generation of customer solutions through hands-on development * Fieldwork is where the next generation of platform capability comes from. Turn recurring customer problems and real-world outcomes into the evaluation criteria, patterns, and priorities that Product and Engineering build into the platform. The frontier moves because of what is found at the edge Contribute to a compounding knowledge base * What you discover at the customer becomes what the team knows collectively. You'll contribute patterns, methods, and field learnings into the shared knowledge environment, building a compounding base of expertise that every SDC draws on. That includes peer mentoring, but the real contribution is the institutional knowledge you build, not just the individual relationships, Workiva employees are required to undergo comprehensive security and privacy training tailored to their roles, ensuring adherence to company policies and regulatory standards. ## Related Videos - [This App Reached 10,000 Users in One Week.
