Forward Deployed Software Engineer (Early Career) – AI Startup | High Growth | High Impact
We’re working with a YC-backed AI startup that’s scaling at serious speed. This is a rare opportunity to join at an early stage, where the product, the team, and the trajectory are all evolving fast — and where your work will directly shape the company’s future.
The Role
As a Forward Deployed Software Engineer, you’ll sit at the intersection of engineering and real-world impact. You’ll work closely with customers to understand their problems, build tailored solutions, and deploy cutting‑edge AI systems in live environments. This isn’t a role where you sit on the sidelines — you’ll be shipping, iterating, and solving meaningful problems from day one.
What Makes This Different
- Early‑stage environment: small, tight‑knit team where every hire matters
- Rapid execution: ideas go from concept to production in days, not months
- High ownership: you’ll have real responsibility early in your career
- Direct exposure to customers and product decisions
The Team
You’ll be working alongside a world‑class group:
- 2x successful, repeat founders
- Engineers from top‑tier companies including Revolut, Yandex, Amazon, Scale AI, and Meta
- A highly technical, ambitious, and execution‑focused culture
What They’re Looking For
- 1–2 years of hands‑on software engineering experience (industry, startup, or strong projects)
- Language‑agnostic mindset — you care about solving problems, not just using one stack
- Strong fundamentals in computer science and engineering principles
- Comfortable working in fast‑paced, ambiguous environments
- Eagerness to learn, build, and take ownership
The Environment
This is not a typical 9–5. The team works hard and moves fast:
- 5 days a week in‑office
- 11–12 hour days are the norm
- High intensity, high expectations — but also high reward
Compensation & Upside
- Competitive salary with additional compensation reflecting the workload
- Meaningful equity in a rapidly growing company
- The chance to get in early and grow with the business
Why Join?
If you want to accelerate your career, learn from exceptional people, and be part of something that’s genuinely building at the frontier of AI — this is the kind of environment where that happens.
This won’t suit everyone. But if you’re driven, resilient, and want to be pushed, it’s the kind of role that can define your early career.
