Forward Deployed Engineer (FDE)
Location: Seattle
Company: Terrakotta AI
About the Role
We’re hiring a Forward Deployed Engineer to work directly with customers and founders to ship high-impact product features fast. You’ll operate at the intersection of engineering, product, and deployment—owning outcomes from first onboarding through long-term usage.
This role is deeply customer-facing. You won’t just build—you’ll ensure what you build actually gets adopted.
What You’ll Do
Ship end-to-end product features that directly impact user behavior and revenue
Work directly with founders and customer executives to understand needs and drive adoption
Own onboarding: design and refine first-time user experiences until they are seamless
Obsess over UX—make complex workflows feel simple and intuitive
Blend engineering and product thinking across frontend, backend, data, and performance
Deploy into real customer environments and iterate based on live feedback
Prototype quickly, test in production, and push code daily
Act as a bridge between customer, product, and engineering
What We’re Looking For
Strong full-stack engineering ability (Python + modern frontend preferred)
High product and UX intuition—you notice friction immediately and fix it
Comfortable working directly with senior stakeholders and customer executives
Ability to operate in ambiguity and turn vague problems into shipped solutions
Bias toward speed and iteration over perfection
Ownership mindset—you care about adoption, not just delivery
Bonus
Experience in forward deployed / solutions / customer engineering roles
Background in startups or high-growth environments
Familiarity with AWS, APIs, and data systems
Experience with onboarding flows, activation metrics, or product-led growth
Why This Role
Direct ownership over customer outcomes and revenue
Work side-by-side with founders and enterprise customers
High autonomy, fast iteration, no bureaucracy
Build and deploy systems shaping the future of commercial real estate
