What are the responsibilities and job description for the Forward Deployed Engineer position at Addepar?
The Role
Forward Deployed Engineers (FDEs) partner directly with key technical & strategic counterparts at Addepar's largest enterprise engagements. From building custom data integrations to extending platform capabilities; an FDE operates with the autonomy and ownership to drive ground-breaking change for Addepar's customers. As an FDE, you will work in small teams with minimal supervision to set priorities, lead client interactions, and be responsible for the end-to-end delivery of critically important projects.
Each engagement will take on a slightly different shape, providing a wide breadth of opportunities to solve complex technical challenges, explore new and emerging technologies, and most importantly deliver high value customer outcomes. As an FDE, you will be responsible for taking lessons learned and value gathered in the field and turning it into scalable and repeatable long term solutions. You will spend time collaborating with teams across Addepar's engineering and product organization; providing valuable insight to inform design strategy and contributing directly to the core product code base.
FDE operates as an extension of the platform rather than a services organization. This distinction allows FDE to partner with customers in a highly collaborative fashion with a focus on measurable outcomes, rather than billable hours. You will partner with other members of the FDE team to continuously evaluate the dynamic landscape of opportunities, strategic priorities, and commitments - ensuring that the team is always focused on solving the most important & impactful problems.
