Forward Deployed Engineer

Compensation
$110,000–$150,000/year

Job Description

We're looking for an engineer who loves working with customers and helping them succeed. If you find it FUN to connect disparate systems together at scale, you’ll love working at Minicor.

The role:

  • Work directly with customers to scope technical solutions and get them to production (and more importantly to scale)
  • Build automations on VMs that are running legacy software through our platform and deploy our AI agents for self-healing
  • Architect middlewares that sit between our platform and the legacy systems, handling caching, data reads, and hydration jobs so that automations run with the lowest latency possible
  • Figure out solutions to weird problems (how do you reliably write to a system that was only meant to be interacted with by humans? how do you break up workflows to survive thousands of runs per day?)
  • Feed everything you learn from customers back into the product!

What we're looking for:

  • At least 1 year of experience working directly with customers in a technical capacity
  • Experience building full stack applications
  • You've gotten customers live before and you know what that actually takes
  • You like talking to people and you're good at it
  • You're excited by problems that don't have obvious solutions
  • Legacy software doesn't scare you

How we work:

  • Small team, growing super fast, things are constantly breaking
  • We interact with critical software older than us regularly, and a big part of our job is being crafty about building solutions to read and write to them at scale
  • Customers are deeply embedded in how we build product
  • No ego. We respect everyone on the team, hold each other accountable, have high expectations for each other, work hard, but are understanding that there is life outside of work
  • We deliver everything for our customer, have a lot of fun in the process, and don't take ourselves too seriously

If this sounds interesting, we'd love to meet with you!


Interview Process

A call with both founders, CEO and then CTO. The most important thing here is for us to get an understanding of you as a person and what you’re passionate about. Please tell us about hard problems you’ve encountered - it’s awesome when we just get into a candid conversations here.

After this:

  • We prefer a short contract-to-hire where we ship something together (ideally two weeks, but we're flexible if you're currently working somewhere)

This is just as much for you to assess us as it is for us to assess you. We really want to make sure this is the best place for you to succeed at.
