Forward Deployed Engineer

Extend
New York, NY Full Time
POSTED ON 2/20/2025
AVAILABLE BEFORE 5/17/2025

Extend is building a modern document processing platform, reimagined with LLMs. We're on a mission to transform how the world works with unstructured data.

As a Forward Deployed Engineer at Extend, you'll act as the primary interface between customers and Extend. We're looking to hire engineers who obsess over customer pain, relentlessly focus on the details, operate with high agency, and want to empower organizations with AI.

Why you should consider joining

  • We've grown revenue 15x this year to 7-figures in ARR, with our growth continuing to accelerate
  • We have a product loved by users and being used in mission-critical flows at companies like Brex, Checkr, Opendoor, Chime, and many more
  • We're building the next generation document processing platform - the market for document processing has expanded 1000x due to LLMs, and existing solutions are all low NPS
  • We're punching well above our weight, supporting customer and revenue metrics with half the team size of other startups - everyone joining at this stage will have outsized impact
  • We have a very talent dense team (e.g. former founders, world record holders) operating in a high performance culture, in-person in NYC, with high equity ownership
  • We're tackling novel, unsolved problems at the intersection of LLMs, complex data processing, and human AI interfaces
  • We're backed by world class investors, including YC, Homebrew, investors from OpenAI, and more

We're a lean team, and our customer base is growing too fast for us to keep up. We're looking for talented engineers to join our founding team ahead of our next round and execute on an ambitious roadmap.

Impact

Ensuring our customers can successfully deploy LLMs into production is critical, and comes with never before seen challenges. We need to make sure we're world class at this.

Here's a few of the complex problems you'll be working on :

  • How do we enable enterprises to gain confidence in deploying AI?
  • How do we handle never before seen edge cases in customer data?
  • How do we enable non-technical domain experts to train models with their expertise & business logic?
  • How do we enable customers to become experts at prompt engineering?
  • How do we help customers understand tradeoffs between latency, cost, and performance, and make the best decision for their use case?
  • Role

  • Write the playbook for how we should work with customers, and how we should incorporate feedback and learnings across the team.
  • Build genuine relationships with our end users. You should be on a first-name basis over iMessage, and you'll have the ability to travel onsite as needed.
  • Companies have a lot of unstructured data - you'll need to figure out what problems other teams are experiencing, and naturally grow Extend within an organization.
  • Have complete ownership over the work you do - as a founding team member, you'll have the opportunity to truly own large areas of customer success and have direct relationships with large enterprises.
  • Work directly with the CEO, CTO, and other founding members and help build out our team.
  • If your compensation planning software is too rigid to deploy winning incentive strategies, it’s time to find an adaptable solution. Compensation Planning
    Enhance your organization's compensation strategy with salary data sets that HR and team managers can use to pay your staff right. Surveys & Data Sets
