You will be based in Frisco. Our Dallas office serves as the U.S. headquarters for Elixirr Digital, leading our data, AI, and digital solutions. It also functions as a key hub for Elixirr Consulting, supporting our broader consulting services across the United States.
Job Summary
Forward Deployed Engineers (FDEs) are the people we put in the room when a problem is ambiguous, the data is messy, and a working solution needs to exist in weeks, not quarters. As an FDE at Elixirr, you will embed with our delivery teams and internal functions to go from idea to working prototype, and to build the internal tools and agents that accelerate how Elixirr itself delivers.
We’ve deliberately modelled this role on how the category is defined in the market — pioneered at Palantir and scaled by firms like OpenAI. An FDE is a hybrid of technical lead, consultant and product manager: someone who writes production-quality code, but is just as comfortable sitting with users, understanding how decisions actually get made, and stress-testing a prototype in the field. Business acumen is not a bonus here — it is core to the job.
An important scope point: this role is focused on idea-to-prototype and on building internal solutions that make Elixirr faster and better. A separate, dedicated team owns productionization into enterprise-grade software. You will work closely with them — and hand over cleanly — but the core of your job is learning fast, building fast, and proving value.
