Job Description
Senior Forward Deployed Engineer
Climb
• Own the workstreams and components you are responsible for, from design through production, inside the client's environment. • Participate in discovery, architecture reviews, and stakeholder interviews on your area of the engagement; turn vague problems into scoped, deliverable work. • Make the build and design decisions appropriate to the client's environment and constraints on the work you own, and stand behind them. • Build the system: production data pipelines, LLM applications, agents, and workflow automations that meet spec and hold up under real load. • Manage scope actively on your workstreams: surface risk and creep before it becomes a problem, not after. • Transfer capability that lasts: documented, runnable, maintainable software that works after you leave. • Build trusted relationships with client stakeholders while supporting the Architect or AI Lead in overall account ownership. • Contribute reusable patterns and lessons learned that improve future delivery.
Job Requirements
- 5+ years of engineering or technical delivery experience, with meaningful time in embedded or client-facing contexts.
- Proven delivery ownership: clear evidence you've taken client-facing work from scoping through production with limited supervision.
- Hands-on depth in one or more of: LLM application development, cloud-native architecture (AWS, Azure, or GCP), backend systems at scale, or production data engineering.
- Demonstrated ability to make independent technical decisions and own your own delivery quality inside a client environment.
- Strong communicator: technically precise with engineers, clear and confident with VP- and C-level leadership, and able to adjust depth without losing accuracy.
- High tolerance for ambiguity; consistently delivers value before every requirement is defined.
Benefits
- Competitive base salary with performance-based bonuses
- MacBook Pro and swag kit so you can do your best work
- Comprehensive health, dental, and vision insurance
- Generous holidays, flexible PTO, and remote-first work environment
- Professional development budget including Databricks and cloud certifications
- Spot bonuses for relevant certifications
- Conference attendance and thought leadership opportunities
- Collaborative, low-ego culture with direct access to leadership
- Opportunity to shape a growing practice from the ground floor
