## Description

As a Forward Deployed Engineer, you'll be embedded directly with customers, turning vague, ambiguous problems into production software, often in days, not months.

This isn't a back-office role. You'll be side-by-side with our most important customers, from high-tech manufacturers to global fashion houses, diving into their workflows, spotting opportunities to extend or iterate on the product, and rapidly building tools that make their operations more efficient and intelligent.

In this role, you'll flex across the full stack: writing backend in Kotlin, crafting frontends in React/TypeScript, deploying infrastructure in AWS, and tweaking our ML agents.

In this role, you'll have full autonomy to take ideas from concept to a deployed solution, and will work hand-in-hand with our CTO and engineering team to make Ameba deployments a success.
