Manager, Forward Deployed Engineering

A seasoned technical leader with 8+ years in engineering, solutions engineering, or technical delivery, and 2+ years leading high-performing technical teams.

Obsessed with operating alongside the team, reviewing designs, challenging assumptions, and stepping in when problems get ambiguous or high-stakes.

Highly experienced in leading customer-facing technical teams where success depends on credibility, clarity, and execution, not scripts or handoffs.

Fluent across engineering and business contexts, you can debate architecture with engineers and align outcomes with sales, product, and customer leaders.

Excellent presenter and communicator who can modulate the message across both technical and non-technical audiences.

The base salary range for this role is $225,000 - 250,000, plus a target 10% annual bonus tied to individual and company performance. You will also receive equity (stock options) and a comprehensive package of cash and non-cash benefits.
