Forward Deployed Engineer
Ampersand, San Francisco
The role
We're hiring a Forward Deployed Engineer to work directly inside customer environments, implementing and extending Ampersand in a way that makes each deployment succeed and teaches us something we can build on.
This role is part engineer, part technical advisor, part trusted partner. You'll work closely with strategic customers from kickoff through delivery, write production code when the work calls for it, and bring what you learn back to the core product and engineering team. If you enjoy working on challenges where no two implementations look the same, this could be a good role for you.
What you will do
- Customer Deployments – Lead end-to-end technical implementations with strategic customers, from discovery through successful adoption.
- Technical Recommendations – Understand each customer's stack, integration goals, data model, and constraints — then advise on approaches that are maintainable, scalable, and easy for their team to operate long-term.
