Senior Forward Deployed Engineer

What you’ll do

As a Forward Deployed Engineer on the Bionic Enterprise team, you’ll embed with teams across Atoms to improve how the company works using AI and software. You’ll combine engineering, product judgment, and hands-on problem solving to take problems from discovery through deployment and measurable results.

• Work directly with business teams to understand their workflows, uncover bottlenecks, and identify where automation can save time, reduce errors, or improve decisions.
• Turn ambiguous problems into clear priorities. Use data and conversations with users to define the problem, determine what’s worth solving, and establish how you’ll measure success.
• Build and deploy applications, integrations, and AI-powered workflows. Use AI development tools to move quickly while understanding and taking responsibility for the systems you ship.
• Own delivery end to end: scope the first useful solution, connect the necessary systems and data, test it, put it into users’ hands, and iterate based on real usage.
• Drive adoption and measure outcomes. Work alongside users until the solution becomes part of how they work and delivers the intended results.
• Turn successful solutions into reusable tools and capabilities. Partner with platform and engineering teams to make them reliable, maintainable, and useful across other parts of the business.

What we’re looking for

• A bachelor’s degree and 3+ years of experience building and delivering software. Your background may include software engineering, forward deployed engineering, solutions engineering, founding a company, or hands-on technical consulting.
• A track record of taking initiative and getting useful things into production. You can point to problems you identified, solutions you built, and outcomes you helped achieve.
• Strong product and business judgment. You ask good questions, challenge assumptions, and distinguish a worthwhile problem from an interesting technical exercise.
• Practical engineering skills across applications, APIs, databases, and integrations. You can make sound architecture decisions and work effectively in unfamiliar systems.
• Experience using AI coding tools to accelerate development, with the ability to explain, debug, test, and maintain the code they produce.
• Comfort working with LLMs and AI-powered workflows, including deciding when a simpler automation is the better solution.
• A strong sense of ownership and urgency. You can reduce scope, make sensible tradeoffs, and work through technical and organizational blockers while respecting security and access requirements.
• Clear communication with technical and nontechnical teams. You build trust with users, explain tradeoffs plainly, and take responsibility for adoption as well as implementation.
