Forward Deployed Engineer
Cinder, London, United Kingdom
What you need
- 4-8 years as a software engineer, solutions engineer, or in a similar role in a fast-paced, high-growth environment.
- Solid Python fundamentals. You can read, debug, and extend backend code without hand-holding. Comfortability with SQL, Typescript, React, and GraphQL.
- Real experience owning implementation, not just scoping it. You've configured or customized a product for a specific customer and shipped something that changed what that customer could actually do.
- You are exceptionally comfortable with ambiguity and repeatedly take initiative — you thrive when dropped into unfamiliar situations, learning quickly, and finding ways to deliver value.
- No degree requirement. We care about what you can build, not where you learned to build it. Bootcamp grads are welcome.
Nice to have
- Understanding of trust & safety or safety operations, either firsthand (you've worked in it) or through a specialized background — a T&S-focused master's, for example — that gives you real fluency, not just familiarity.
