## Description

As a Forward Deployed Engineer, you'll embed with our largest city and agency customers, starting in New York City, and make Cyvl indispensable to how they run. You'll configure the platform against real agency data, prototype custom outputs and integrations with AI coding tools and our API, and find the next problem we can solve for them. This is a strategic growth role that looks like an implementation role, and you'll write the playbook for how we operate in every major US city that follows. This role is based in New York City or San Francisco.
