Work you'll do

We are looking for a highly skilled and client-facing Forward Deployed Engineer (FDE) to sit at the intersection of engineering excellence and customer partnership. In this role, you will embed directly with our most strategic clients - particularly in the financial services sector - to understand their toughest technical challenges and help them design and implement world-class solutions using our platform. This is a high-impact, high-visibility role with direct influence on product direction.

You are equally comfortable whiteboarding microservices architecture with a client's principal engineer, running a hands-on technical workshop for a team of developers, and standing up a compelling proof-of-concept in days. You thrive in fast-moving, high-stakes environments and know how to earn the trust of deeply technical stakeholders.

Key Responsibilities

Client Engagement & Technical Advisory

• Serve as the primary technical point of contact for strategic client accounts, building deep relationships with architects, engineers, and technical leaders

• Lead discovery sessions to understand client architectures, pain points, and business objectives

• Translate complex technical concepts into clear, compelling narratives for both technical and non-technical audiences

Solution Design & Architecture

• Collaborate with client architects and internal engineering teams to design scalable, production-ready solutions

• Provide authoritative guidance on microservices architecture, event-driven systems, and cloud-native deployment patterns

• Review and advise on client system designs, identifying risks and recommending best practices

Proof of Concepts & Demos

• Rapidly prototype and build POCs that demonstrate platform value in the context of a client's real-world use cases

• Own and deliver polished, technically rigorous demos tailored to the client's specific technology stack and business domain

• Maintain a library of reusable demo assets and reference implementations

Workshops & Enablement

• Design and facilitate deep-dive technical workshops, hackathons, and onboarding bootcamps for client engineering teams

• Produce high-quality technical documentation, runbooks, and integration guides

• Accelerate client time-to-value by enabling their teams to build confidently and independently

Feedback & Internal Collaboration

• Act as the voice of the customer - surface product gaps, integration friction, and feature requests to internal product and engineering teams

Partner with Sales, Solutions Architecture, and Product to shape the technical go-to-market strategy

The successful candidate will possess

Core Technical Skills

• Deep expertise in Java and Spring Boot, including building production-grade microservices

• Strong understanding of event-driven architecture - Kafka, event sourcing, CQRS, async messaging patterns

• Hands-on experience with microservices design principles: service decomposition, API design, resiliency patterns, observability

• Proficiency across multi-cloud environments, with AWS as a primary platform; working knowledge of Azure and GCP

• Familiarity with containerization and orchestration (Docker, Kubernetes)

Emerging Technology

• Exposure to Agentic AI frameworks and tooling - including LangGraph, LangChain, or similar orchestration frameworks

• Practical understanding of LLM integration patterns, prompt engineering, and AI-powered application design

• Exceptional communicator - able to lead technical conversations with senior engineers and C-suite stakeholders alike

• Strong facilitation skills for running workshops, design reviews, and working sessions

• Self-directed, highly organized, and comfortable managing multiple client engagements simultaneously
