Forward Deployed Engineer
Newform, New York City
The role
This is a Palantir-style Forward-Deployed Engineer role adapted for the creative supply chain. You won't be writing tickets handed to you by a PM. You'll be in the room when a strategist hits a workflow ceiling, deciding in real time whether the answer is a new Framework feature, a one-off automation, or a data pipeline that didn't exist yesterday. Then you build it.
You'll embed with our services pods: strategists, creators, media buyers, Creative Intelligence Leads and build the software they need to run faster, learn more, and ship more winning ads. You own a roadmap, not a ticket queue. The roadmap is generated by what you observe sitting next to operators in real client work.
The work compounds in two directions. The bespoke things you ship for one client become the next generalized Framework feature. The patterns you spot across the services team become the roadmap.
What you will do
What you'll do
- Embed with one or two pods at a time. Sit in their reviews, briefs, and post-mortems. Understand the work end to end before you write code.
