Founding Forward Deployed Engineer

Denari, Madison, WI

Chicago, IL

The role

We’re hiring Denari’s first Forward Deployed Engineer to turn real partner problems into working solutions.

You’ll work directly with accounting firms to understand how they operate, identify their highest-value problems, and rapidly build, configure, and deploy solutions using the Denari platform. That could mean creating an agent skill in Denari Answers, configuring a document schema, designing a workflow, contributing a targeted improvement to the core product, or building a lightweight application alongside it.

This is not a traditional software engineering role, and formal software engineering experience is not required. We’re looking for a technically confident, resourceful builder who can use agentic development tools to solve real business problems. You should be able to think like an engineer—breaking down ambiguity, understanding systems, testing your work, and owning outcomes—without necessarily having followed a conventional engineering career path.

What you will do

Your impact here is only limited by your initiative

We are genuinely open to change. If you have an idea and you’re willing to put in the effort, we will back you—whether that’s a new partner solution, a reusable skill, a better deployment process, or a new way for the entire company to serve customers.

AI has also changed what counts as “hard.” Things that once required a traditional software development team can increasingly be built by resourceful people who understand the problem and know how to direct modern agentic tools.

You’ll have significant freedom in how you approach the work. With that freedom comes ownership: identifying what matters, making sound tradeoffs, communicating clearly, and following through after something ships.

What you’ll do

Work directly with partners to understand their operations, uncover problems, and identify opportunities where Denari can create measurable value.
Design, build, configure, deploy, and maintain solutions within the Denari platform.
Develop and customize agent skills and workflows in Denari Answers.
Configure document schemas, user workflows, and automations across the Denari platform.
Use agentic coding tools to build integrations, internal automations, prototypes, and lightweight sidecar applications when the platform alone isn’t the right answer.
Make targeted contributions to Denari’s core product when a small change can unlock meaningful partner value, with support from our engineering team where needed.
Define success measures before deployment and demonstrate the operational or financial value created afterward.
Monitor deployed solutions, respond when something breaks, and improve their reliability over time.
Turn repeated partner needs into reusable skills, patterns, tooling, and product recommendations.
Communicate partner feedback and field observations clearly to product, engineering, and company leadership.
Help other Denari teams move faster, including developing automations and tools for our partnerships team.
Establish the playbooks, standards, and operating rhythms that future Forward Deployed Engineers will inherit.
