## Description

We are seeking a Senior Forward Deployed Engineer to join our Platform Engineering team. As a Senior Forward Deployed Engineer, you will own the complete customer engagement cycle, from first discovery session to deployed solution. You will work with AI coding tools such as Claude Code, Codex, and Cursor to build production-quality software.

Essential Job Duties:

- Lead on-site and video-based discovery sessions with customers to understand workflow challenges and produce a clear definition of what to build.

- Define project scope and deliverables with customers, setting realistic timelines and managing expectations through delivery.

- Build AI-powered agents, custom tools, and automated workflows for each customer's HR needs, deployed within the BambooHR platform.

- Learn each customer's internal systems and data sources to design integrations that fit their environment.

- Construct each solution so it can be adapted for customers with similar needs.

- Validate every solution for correctness, reliability, and fit before it reaches the customer.

- Transition completed engagements to the tools team with thorough documentation for clean handoffs and maintainability.

- Surface field learnings as product insights, sharing patterns and opportunities that belong in the BambooHR core product.

- Partner with Product, Engineering, and Customer Experience on roadmap opportunities identified through field work.

What You Need to Get the Job Done:

- 5+ years of software engineering experience with a record of shipping production software.

- Sound judgment for when to build custom solutions and when to extend existing patterns for reuse.

- Full-stack development experience, building and shipping independently.

- Proficiency in designing systems, data models, and architecture, including performance and data-flow tradeoffs.

- Track record of building and deploying AI agents and AI-powered solutions.

- Fluency in context engineering: structuring repo and task context so agents execute reliably.

- Confidence reading unfamiliar code and running root-cause analysis to debug it.

- Demonstrated ability to review code for security and privacy risks: injection, data-handling, and unsafe generated output.

- Experience with test design and test evaluation harnesses.

- Proven ability to follow safe release practices: CI/CD, feature flags, staged rollout, and rollback.

- Depth in writing clear technical documentation for both people and agents.

- Strong written and verbal communication, including conveying customer needs, proposed solutions, and technical decisions to technical and non-technical audiences.

What You'll Love About Us:

- A Great Company Culture that has been recognized by multiple organizations like Inc, and Salt Lake Tribune.

- Comprehensive health, life, and disability insurance.

- Generous leave policies that include 4 weeks of vacation, 12 company holidays, parental leave, and volunteer time off.

- 401k plans with up to 6% company match.

- $2000 Paid-Paid Vacation bonus.

- EAP through Headspace.
