We’re hiring for a Forward Deployed Engineer (JD + info here).
As a Forward Deployed Engineer at Poetic, you re-program entire companies.
You are not measured by technical complexity nor lines of code, but by ownership of business outcomes. Agency, judgment, and customer understanding are equally, if not more, valuable in this role as strong software engineering ability.
You will be driving a fundamental shift in how enterprises operate and how all of software is defined. You will own our most strategic customers (some of the largest companies in the world) to build and deploy automation and software that was previously impossible. These are not incremental improvements; you'll be replacing load-bearing workflows in production that previously consumed thousands of human hours.
This role sits at the intersection of engineering, customer partnership, and operational excellence. You'll go deep into complex enterprise workflows, architect robust solutions using our AI-English programming language, and own deployments end-to-end: from initial discovery through global rollout. You'll build lasting relationships inside Fortune 500 organizations, understand the intricacies of their most critical processes, and deliver solutions that fundamentally change how they operate.
You will be Poetic to our customers - the person who delivers previously impossible outcomes. This is a rare opportunity to re-build the largest industries in the world. And it requires someone who can do it all.
This role will be the best role for you if you are someone that is excited by business and solving real problems instead of only deriving value from writing code.
Parts of the role:
Poetic is turning the world's hardest processes into English software. Every business is being re-founded as a software business, and the leaders need a partner they can trust - someone who cares about the business as much as they do - to help steward them through that transition. If you love technology and you’re deeply curious about how the world works, your whole life has prepared you for this moment. It’s time to use those powers for good, to help define what the next generation of companies looks like.
Poetic is deployed globally, powering critical workflows for Fortune 500 companies with 98%+ quality across over half a million production runs. We're backed by Founders Fund, Kleiner Perkins, + OpenAI
