Forward Deployed Engineer

Our Culture

How we work:

• We move Blitzy Fast: Time is both our company’s and our clients’ most precious asset. We move quickly and decisively to innovate internally and deliver exceptional software externally.

About the Role

We’re looking for a Forward Deployed Engineer to join our Pune HQ2 team and work at the intersection of cutting-edge AI and complex enterprise software. You’ll embed with customer engineering teams and help them transform how they build software with Blitzy. This isn’t a hand-coding or traditional solutions engineering role. You’ll onboard new teams, guide them through the platform, troubleshoot issues, and work with client engineers on architecture and priorities, with the goal of getting each team to run Blitzy independently.

Our HQ2 FDE team deploys alongside customers around the world, working closely with US-based engineering and customer teams with regular time zone overlap for collaboration and handoffs. You’ll partner with customer stakeholders across regions and help each engagement run smoothly from kickoff to steady state.

Responsibilities

• Deploy Blitzy into complex enterprise environments, navigating technical constraints and translating customer business goals into practical technical solutions

• Embed with customer teams during critical implementations, partnering with engineering leaders on sprint planning, architecture reviews, technical decisions, and production deployments

• Build production-quality integrations, services, and extensions using Java 17 and Spring Boot 3.x, including Spring MVC, Spring Data JPA, Spring Security, and Actuator

• Build and evolve REST APIs using a contract-first approach with OpenAPI/Swagger, with data persistence through PostgreSQL, Hibernate/JPA, and Liquibase

• Package and deploy containerized services with Docker and manage dependencies through Maven, including BOMs and multi-module projects

• Develop custom solutions, reusable patterns, scripts, and tools that accelerate customer adoption and demonstrate Blitzy’s capabilities in enterprise environments

• Debug complex issues spanning customer infrastructure, integrations, microservices, and the Blitzy platform, supporting production operations, health checks, metrics, and configuration management

• Drive successful POCs and technical demonstrations that showcase advanced use cases, deliver measurable value, and expand into enterprise-wide deployments

• Maintain high standards for testing, code quality, performance, and observability using JUnit 5, Cucumber/Gherkin, JMeter, Git, Logback/SLF4J, SpotBugs, and SonarQube

• Identify recurring customer needs, technical patterns, and expansion opportunities that inform product priorities and enterprise adoption

• Collaborate with product and engineering teams to translate field experience into platform improvements, technical documentation, reusable best practices, and contributions to the core product

Qualifications

• 10+ years of software engineering experience with a track record of shipping production code in enterprise environments

• Deep hands-on expertise with Java 17, Spring Boot 3.x, Spring MVC, Spring Data JPA, Spring Security, Hibernate/JPA, and Actuator

• Strong experience with REST APIs, OpenAPI/Swagger, PostgreSQL, Liquibase, Maven, Docker, and modern testing practices including JUnit 5, Cucumber/Gherkin, and JMeter

• Experience building and operating microservices with CI/CD, cloud architecture, observability, production monitoring, and tools such as Micrometer, Dynatrace, SpotBugs, and SonarQube

• Knowledge of enterprise modernization and distributed systems, including Java 8 → Java 17 upgrades, monolith → microservices migrations, Kafka, Avro, Schema Registry, caching, and resilience patterns

• Strong understanding of Agile/Scrum and modern software development practices, with the ability to communicate complex technical concepts to audiences ranging from interns to CTOs

• Experience in customer-facing engineering, developer tools, AI/ML, or enterprise modernization is a plus, along with technical thought leadership through blogs, talks, or open-source contributions

• Passion for AI-powered software development and willingness to work in person from Pune, India, with overlap for US-based teams
