Director, Forward Deployed Engineering

Forward Deployed Engineering is where Chalk meets its customers. Our FDEs are exceptional software engineers who integrate Chalk’s platform with the best ML and engineering teams in healthcare, finance, and consumer technology — running technical pilots that win deals, onboarding new customers, and engineering feature pipelines that power use cases like fraud prevention, cancer detection, and product recommendation.

Working directly with our founders, you'll lead this team and define its future. You'll own the strategy for how Chalk engages customers technically — from pre-sales pilots through onboarding, support, and expansion — and build the organization, processes, and playbooks that let the function scale with our growth. FDE is one of the most strategically important and fastest-growing functions at Chalk, and this role will shape what it becomes.
