About the role
At Guac, we're solving grocery food waste with AI. We forecast exactly how much of each product will sell, helping grocery retailers order and produce the perfect amount of inventory — and we're building AI-native tools that put those forecasts directly into the hands of store operators and buyers.
The grocery industry is enormous (it accounts for 4% of GDP) — and grocery food waste is a huge cost to grocers' bottom lines, but also to our planet.
Today, we're working with major supermarket chains in the US and Canada, and we've scaled to 7-figures in ARR. We're backed by leading investors including Y Combinator, 1984 Ventures, Collaborative Fund, and angels from Open AI, Instacart, and Citadel Securities.
We've brought together an exceptional team from Palantir, BCG, Oxford, Cambridge, and MIT to solve intellectually challenging problems and tackle food insecurity and waste with technology.
We're looking for talented forward deployed engineers in NYC to join our mission.
About the Role
As a Forward Deployed Engineer at Guac, you'll be the technical bridge between our products and our customers. You'll work directly with grocery retailers — from their IT teams to their store operators — to deeply understand their business, integrate with their systems, and ship custom solutions that make our products work for them.
This isn't a role with tightly-scoped tickets. You'll own customer deployments end-to-end: scoping the integration, building the data pipelines, extending the recommendation engine, and standing alongside customers as we roll out across hundreds of stores. We're looking for engineers who can hold their own in a technical deep-dive with a customer's IT team in the morning, ship production code in the afternoon, and work on our products.
Your responsibilities will include:
Customer & Deployment
- Collaborate directly with customers' technical teams to understand their IT infrastructure and integrate with their internal data systems
