Forward Deployed Engineer
Runlayer, NYC +1
The role
As our Forward-Deployed Engineer, you'll own the technical side of customer GTM at Runlayer. You'll run POCs, troubleshoot integrations, and work closely with enterprise customers to get them live.
What you will do
- Own POC outcomes for enterprise customers.
- Run pre-sales technical deep dives, demos, and architecture discussions.
- Troubleshoot integrations across customer environments (identity, security, networking).
- Build custom configurations and one-off solutions when the standard path doesn't fit.
- Run technical onboarding sessions and adoption workshops.
- Be the technical expert in the room during sales cycles, handling stump questions from senior engineers.
What you need
- 5+ years of FDE / SA / SE experience with a CS background
- Background in solutions engineering, pre-sales, or consulting with real technical depth. You can write and debug production code independently, not just run demos.
