AiPrise, San Jose, California
This is not a typical engineering role. As a Forward Deployed Engineer, you'll sit at the intersection of engineering, product, and customer success. You'll work directly with AiPrise's largest and most strategic customers to understand their compliance challenges, build custom integrations, and ship solutions that make the platform indispensable.
You won't be waiting for a ticket to land in your queue. You'll be in the room with the customer, scoping the problem, writing the code, and deploying the fix, sometimes in the same day.
This role is ideal for engineers who get energy from solving real problems for real people, and who want their work to have visible, immediate impact.
Customer-facing engineering. Embed with key customers to understand their onboarding, KYB, and compliance workflows. Translate their pain points into technical solutions, whether that's a custom integration, a new API endpoint, or a workflow tweak.
Build and ship fast. Design and deploy customer-specific configurations, integrations with third-party compliance and identity vendors, and custom data pipelines. Own the full lifecycle from scoping through production.
Bridge product and engineering. Bring customer insights back to the core product team. Identify patterns across customer needs that should become platform features. Help shape the roadmap based on what you're seeing in the field.
Technical problem-solving under pressure. Debug production issues in real time. Troubleshoot complex vendor integrations across 80+ providers. Be the person customers trust to get things working.
Scale what works. Turn one-off solutions into reusable patterns. Write internal tooling, documentation, and runbooks that make the next deployment faster for everyone.
AiPrise is a YC-backed (S22) global compliance orchestration platform helping fintechs, marketplaces, and payment companies verify and onboard customers worldwide.
