## Description

Most engineering roles place you either close to the product or close to the customer. This role gives you both.

You'll build alongside customers at the frontier of what Lovable can do, solving technically difficult problems across our frontend, backend and AI systems. The goal isn't simply to make individual deployments successful: it's to identify what should become part of the Lovable platform and then build it.

As one of our first Forward Deployed Engineers, you'll also help define the function - from its engineering standards and ways of working to how it collaborates with customers and our core product teams.

If you want to stay deeply hands-on while shaping a product, a team and a new engineering discipline, this is that role. As you'll be working directly with customers, travel up to 50% could be required depending on needs.
