Metal, New York City
The Forward Deployed Engineer is how Metal goes from a promising platform to software that lives inside how a firm actually runs its investment process. You will embed with one of our most strategic customers, a leading private capital firm, and own the last mile from scoping session to production system.
You sit at the intersection of a top-tier investment team and their AI evolution. You pair real engineering depth with customer empathy and a strong instinct for how AI reshapes an investment firm. You build the workflows, you integrate the systems, you own whether it actually works in production, and you translate what you learn on the ground into Metal's product direction.
This is a senior, high-autonomy role with real ownership. You carry one flagship account deeply and you are measured on outcomes the customer can see.
This is an in-person role. It requires regular time both on site at the customer's office and at Metal's office in Brooklyn, NY. You work shoulder to shoulder with the customer's teams, and just as closely with Metal's internal engineering team.
Metal is building the world's most powerful intelligence platform for private market investors, putting cutting-edge AI in the hands of the most sophisticated firms on the planet.
In private markets, one thing defines success: the quality of your investment outcomes. Metal is the infrastructure-first platform built to sharpen every decision and build conviction across the full deal lifecycle, from sourcing to exit. Top-tier firms already run on Metal to move faster and invest smarter. Adoption is compounding, the category is ours to define, and we're backed to win it.
Our team is sharp, low-ego, and obsessed with the people we build for. We take ownership of hard, ambiguous problems and we move fast. If you do your best work close to the customer, we'd love to meet you.
