Forward-Deployed Engineer.

I'm looking for a rare kind of builder: someone who can sit with an operator, understand the messy reality, and turn it into software people rely on.

Start A Conversation
01

Find The Real Problem

Work directly with operators, customers, and domain experts. Map the workflow, identify the constraint, and turn ambiguity into a buildable first move.

02

Ship In The Field

Prototype quickly, connect real data, and put working software in front of users. Stay close enough to see what breaks and what matters.

03

Build What Compounds

Turn one-off discoveries into reliable product capabilities, reusable systems, and better ways of delivering the next project.

What You'll Do

  • Own projects from discovery through deployment.
  • Build AI-enabled products around real workflows and data.
  • Work directly with users, not through layers of handoff.
  • Help shape the studio's technical and product standards.

You'll Fit If

  • You are equally comfortable asking questions and writing code.
  • You can reduce scope without reducing ambition.
  • You care about reliability, taste, and the last 10%.
  • You want unusual ownership inside a very small team.
