About the role
As a Forward Deployed Engineer, you own the technical success of a customer's rollout end to end — from initial data integration through modeling, validation, and go-live — and you feed what you learn directly back into the product. This is not a services or implementation-consulting role: you write code, you own integrations as engineering artifacts, and you work shoulder-to-shoulder with customers to get a next-generation planning platform into production. You should be as comfortable in a customer's data warehouse tracing a reconciliation discrepancy as you are in a working session with their FP&A team explaining why a consolidation is behaving the way it is. The strongest candidates have worked inside EPM/CPM products before and understand how they behave in the real world.
What you would do
- Own customer rollouts end to end — data integration, model build-out, validation, and production cutover — as the primary technical owner.
- Build AI-driven automated test harnesses to validate every new product release against real customer use cases and models, catching regressions before they reach customers. This is a critical function of the role: you'll use AI to generate, run, and evaluate test cases at scale across diverse customer configurations.
- Build and maintain data integrations between customer source systems (ERP, GL, data warehouses) and our platform, treating them as durable, version-controlled engineering deliverables rather than throwaway scripts.
- Translate real-world requirements in financial and operational modeling into correct, performant models on the platform.
- Diagnose and resolve data, performance, and correctness issues — often deep in SQL, source data, and consolidation logic.
- Ship bug fixes and feature extensions directly against the platform — make targeted product changes to unblock customers and close gaps surfaced in the field, rather than only filing tickets and waiting on core engineering.
- Act as the feedback loop to product and engineering: surface friction, propose fixes, and where warranted, build them.
- Partner with customer stakeholders across finance and operations, earning trust as someone who understands their domain and can make the software do what they need
