- TL;DR – We’re looking for an exceptional Forward Deployed Engineer to help build the future of AI-powered software creation. You will be a founding member of our FDE function, working directly with our most ambitious customers to translate impossible ideas into real products. This is a unique opportunity to design a new discipline from scratch and solve problems with AI that no one has solved before.
- Lovable lets anyone and everyone build software with any language. From solopreneurs to Fortune 100 teams, millions of people use Lovable to transform raw ideas into real products - fast. We are at the forefront of a foundational shift in software creation, which means you have an unprecedented opportunity to change the way the digital world works. Lovable-built applications and websites are visited hundreds of millions of times a month, and our enterprise footprint is compounding fast. And we’re just getting started.
- We’re a small, talent-dense team building a generation-defining company from Stockholm, London, Boston & San Francisco. We value extreme ownership, high velocity, and low-ego collaboration. We seek out people who care deeply, ship fast, and are eager to make a dent in the world.
- This isn’t a traditional software engineering role.
- You will:
- Be one of the first Forward Deployed Engineers at Lovable
- Create a new function at the intersection of engineering, product, customer success, and research
- Partner with customers building never-seen-before AI systems
- Build product features based on real-world behaviors and emerging patterns
- Influence our core product direction and technical roadmap
- If you want to invent new categories, not just improve existing ones - this is that role.
- 5+ years of experience building and shipping full-stack products
- Proficiency in modern frontend (React/TypeScript) and robust backend development
- Strong architectural thinking and familiarity with distributed systems
- Ability to rapidly prototype, experiment, and learn from real usage
- Exceptional product intuition and ability to work directly with users
- Comfort operating in high-ambiguity, high-agency environments
- Bonus if you’ve:
- Worked on agentic AI systems or built with LLMs before
- Led zero-to-one product development
- Worked in a founding or early startup environment
- In one sentence: Deploy intelligence into the real world.
- Work directly with customers to understand their workflows, needs, and problems
- Design and implement solutions for our customers that integrate with Lovable
- Translate insights from real usage into foundational platform improvements
- Own projects end-to-end — from idea → architecture → shipping → iteration
- Shape how Forward Deployed Engineering works at Lovable (rituals, playbooks, org design)
- Contribute to core product strategy, technical decisions, and cultural foundations
- We choose tools that empower both humans and AI:
- Frontend: React, Typescript
- Backend: Golang & Rust
- Cloud: Cloudflare, GCP, AWS, multiple LLM providers
- Tooling: Github Actions, OTEL, Grafana, Terraform, and more
- Always evolving with what works best.
- Fill out a short form and hop on a brief intro call with our recruiting team.
- Complete a quick live coding exercise.
- Show us how you approach problems during several technical interviews.
- Show us something you’ve built that makes you proud.
