Job description

We are looking for a Forward Deployed Engineer to own customer implementations end to end, turning Simple’s voice AI platform into production-ready agents tailored to each business.

This is a highly technical and highly customer-facing engineering role.

Every customer has different call flows, systems, products, policies, and edge cases. As their Forward Deployed Engineer, you will understand those details and own the technical implementation through production, making sure the agent works reliably in the real world. This role is a good fit for someone who wants to code, talk to customers, move fast, and be close to the business impact of what they build.

Requirements

  • 3+ years of software engineering experience.

  • Strong problem-solving skills and enthusiasm for addressing technical challenges.
  • A customer-first mindset with strong communication skills and interest in product design and prioritization.
  • Self-motivated and able to work independently.
  • Passion about learning and keeping up with latest AI advancements., * Previous experience with prompt engineering or working with AI/LLM-based platforms.
  • Experience with TypeScript, React, Python, Ruby on Rails, PostgreSQL, or AWS.

If you are excited to work directly with customers and build AI agents that run in production, we would love to chat.

Benefits & conditions

  • Competitive salary & meaningful equity
  • Employee-friendly equity terms
  • An office located in SF
  • Health, dental & vision insurance
  • Free lunch & dinner at the office
  • Late night Ubers
  • Regular team events & offsites
