About the Role
Engine’s Forward Deployed Engineering (FDE) function is its partner-embedded Engineering team, responsible for demand partner integrations and custom development across Engine’s marketplace. This player-coach role will lead the team through its next phase of establishing repeatable delivery standards, governing AI-native engineering practices, owning high-stakes partner engagements, and building strong partnerships with internal Product and Engineering teams. The role combines team leadership with hands-on engineering, shaping FDE strategy and best practices, leading critical integrations, and collaborating with various internal teams and partner engineering teams.

- Partner with manager and cross-functional leaders to develop and implement standard operating procedures and delivery practices.
- Lead complex, ambiguous, or new-vertical integrations end to end.
- Turn bespoke builds into repeatable solutions, including shared modules, templates, and runbooks.
- Architect and govern AI-native engineering practices, including code-generation pipelines, mapping automation, test-scaffolding agents, and human-review gates.
- Mentor FDEs through design and code reviews to raise the team’s engineering standard.
- Drive structured Product and Engineering feedback loops to reduce future bespoke work.
- Lead technical working sessions with partner engineering teams, providing hands-on guidance to critical integrations and hosted experiences.
Requirements
- 8+ years of experience, including time in a senior or staff-level integration, platform, or forward-deployed engineering role.
- People leadership or strong informal team leadership experience is preferred.
- Recognize patterns and turn novel solutions into repeatable practices.
- Take ownership of complex, ambiguous work and balance strategic leadership with hands-on execution.
- Build trust and credibility across partner, Product, Engineering, Solutions Engineering, and commercial teams.
- Invest in colleagues’ growth through thoughtful mentoring, design feedback, and code review.
Skills
- Production-quality code in Scala and/or Python
- Working comfort in Node.js/TypeScript for SDKs and tooling
