Founding Forward Deployed Engineer

- this is for people who are competitive, delusional, and ambitious. the role is almost exclusively for someone who wants to be a founder in the future. the experience you're signing up for is going to be as close to the founding experience as humanly possible.

- you'll be working with some of the biggest logistics companies in the US, onboarding them onto our AI-native OS for logistics and deploying agents that replace e2e work that used to take entire departments.

Do not apply if:

- you don't work well in ambiguity & want clearly scoped tasks and projects

- you don't see yourself constantly talking to non-technical customers and building alongside them.

- you can't travel across the US on very short notice to write code on-site with customers for weeks at a time

- you can't work in person in SF & you prioritize work-life balance

Apply if:

- the idea of traveling the US on very short notice excites you. our current record is going to Chicago to deploy for a customer on 4 hours notice.

- you prioritize people you build for above everything else. it gives you genuine pleasure when they're surprised how fast you fixed their problem or shipped a feature.

- you're a recent grad or early in your career and want to compress decades of experience into years.

- you're a first-principles thinker. the only constant in this role is change. you’ll context-switch across projects and domains many times a month.

- you do most of your work in Claude Code and you're obsessed with hyper-optimizing your setup.

- you started building with LLMs 2-3 years ago, almost immediately after GPT-4 or 3.5 launched
