Work as a hands-on engineer embedding with strategic customers to deliver custom AI-native revenue platform solutions from discovery to live adoption.
Обязанности
- You'll join Delta Force, 's forward deployed engineering team. Forward Deployed Engineers are the tip of the spear for our most strategic customers: when Sales, CX, or GTM needs something the product can't do yet, you embed with them, take an ambiguous, high-stakes problem, and own all of it from first discovery to a live, adopted system. Scoping, architecture, the build itself, the data, the rollout, and the outcome. The closest comparison is being a hands-on CTO for whichever customer or feature you're on.
- This is a builder role, not an advisory one. You write production code, and you multiply your output by directing AI coding agents, so one engineer ships in days what used to take a team a quarter.
- Work does not arrive pre-specified. The request reaches you vague and urgent, and it is yours from there: find the real problem, cut it to the smallest version that solves it, build it, hand it off with docs. Real customers are waiting and the timelines are short.
- Embed and ship. Embed with Sales, CX, and customers to understand how their business actually works, then scope, design, and ship production systems on real customer data.
- Build the hard parts yourself. Agents, MCP servers, API integrations, data pipelines, Retool apps, and the glue between messy systems.
- Deploy and tune 's agents in the field. Get a customer's agents live on their real data and keep raising output quality through prompts, context, and configuration. When an agent is held back by a missing tool, integration, or data source, build that too.
- Unblock deals and rescue at-risk accounts. Build the workflow, agent, integration, or demo on the prospect's own data that shows can do what they need, and build what removes the blocker to renewal.
- Own adoption, not just delivery. The hardest part of a go-live is people, not code. A build only counts once the customer's team actually runs on it.
- Turn one-offs into product. Decide what stays a custom build and what becomes a roadmap item, make that case with evidence from real customers, and turn repeated builds into playbooks and reusable tooling.
- Be the direct line between the field and the roadmap. Bring back failure modes, evals, and requirements that shape what Product and Engineering build next.
Будет плюсом
- Prior forward deployed, solutions, implementation, or consulting experience
- Deep familiarity with the GTM stack: CRMs, sequencing, enrichment, and RevOps workflows
- Experience building developer-facing assets: SDKs, reference apps, documentation

- is building an AI-native revenue platform that replaces the fragmented GTM stack - CRM, sequencing, call recording, enrichment, pipeline management with one unified system, consolidating 6–10 disconnected tools into a single platform built for the AI era.
- We launched publicly in Feb 2026, are already 65 people, and have strong early product-market fit generating millions in ARR within months of launch. You'll have the chance to both scale our core systems and build new features from 0 to 1.
- We've raised $85M in our Series B from Founders Fund, Benchmark, and Human Capital, and our founders previously led Brex, Apollo, and Clari.
- Come join us if you want to be part of a high autonomy, high pace team reinventing one of the biggest categories in enterprise software.
- 3+ years in a technical, customer-facing role (forward deployed, solutions, or software engineering with heavy customer exposure); former founders strongly encouraged
- Production-grade full-stack coding ability (Python and/or TypeScript) and comfort with APIs, webhooks, SQL, and data infrastructure
- Hands-on experience building with LLMs: prompting, agents, evals, and AI coding tools as your default way of working
- A track record of owning a complex, ambiguous outcome end to end
- Executive-ready communication and low-ego collaboration with customer stakeholders
- San Francisco. We're an in-person team - 5 days in the office. At this stage, proximity genuinely accelerates product quality and team cohesion.
