About the Role

The Forward Deployment Engineer (FDE) is a hybrid role at the intersection of engineering, business analysis, and customer success. Acting as the bridge between product teams and enterprise clients, FDEs ensure smooth deployment of AI-driven solutions, workflow automation, and SaaS integrations. They combine technical expertise with business acumen to translate client needs into production-ready solutions that drive measurable impact.

Roles and Responsibilities
  • Customer Discovery: Conduct structured workshops with client stakeholders to capture workflows, pain points, and desired outcomes.
  • Solution Design: Translate business requirements into technical workflows, automations, and integrations.
  • Deployment Execution: Configure, test, and deploy solutions, ensuring seamless go-live and adoption.
  • Workflow Automation: Build and customize automations using APIs, scripts, or low-code platforms.
  • Technical Troubleshooting: Diagnose integration issues, resolve blockers, and iterate based on client feedback.
  • Customer Advocacy: Serve as the technical expert during onboarding and beyond, ensuring long-term customer success.
  • Feedback Loop: Provide insights from deployments to product and engineering teams to shape roadmap priorities.
Skills and Qualifications
  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or related field — or equivalent demonstrated experience shipping production integrations.
  • 4–8 years in a customer-facing technical role where you personally wrote and owned the code (Forward Deployed Engineer, Solutions Engineer, Integration Engineer, Implementation Engineer, or similar).
  • Strong coding ability (Python, Java, Go, or similar) — able to build and debug real integration logic, not just configure a UI.
  • Deep familiarity with SaaS systems, REST/SOAP APIs, webhooks, and authentication patterns (OAuth, API keys, SSO basics).
  • Experience with workflow automation platforms, CI/CD, and basic observability/monitoring tools.
  • Comfortable with SQL and at least one BI tool (Looker, Tableau, Superset) for validating data and demonstrating impact.
  • Demonstrated ability to operate independently in ambiguous, loosely-scoped situations and drive to a working solution.
  • Excellent communication skills — able to run a discovery workshop, explain a technical trade-off to a non-technical stakeholder, and write clear documentation.

Strongly Preferred

  • Hands-on experience with LLM/agentic frameworks (LangChain, LangGraph, CrewAI, or similar) and applying them to real workflow or data problems.
  • Experience with RAG pipelines, prompt/eval design, or AI observability and guardrails.
  • Prior experience embedded on-site with enterprise clients during implementation.

Nice to Have

  • Background in consulting or early-stage startup environments (frequently correlates with FDE success due to comfort with ambiguity and ownership).
  • MBA preferred.

Location: Colombia (Remote, LATAM region)

Shift Timings: U.S. Shift (8:00 AM CST - 5:00 PM CST)
