Description
A Forward Deployed Software Engineer (FDSE) works directly with customers to understand their greatest problems and design and implement solutions to use data against them. As an FDSE, you'll apply your problem-solving ability, creativity, and technical skills to help organisations use their data to drive a real impact in the world.
Your responsibilities will be similar to those of a startup CTO: you'll work in small teams with minimal supervision and own end-to-end execution of high-stakes projects. Your day might span discussing architecture with fellow engineers, wrangling massive-scale data, coding a custom web app, speaking with customer executives, or establishing strategy for your team.
As an FDSE, you'll learn how to unpack a problem and understand the costs and consequences of its solution. You'll learn new technologies and languages, and even develop them yourself. You'll work autonomously and make decisions independently, within a community that will support and challenge you as you grow and develop.
We take on meaningful and challenging projects that change the world for the better. We see projects through from beginning to end, working through any obstacles we may encounter. We work internally with people from a variety of backgrounds and externally with our customers, often on-site, to understand and solve their problems.
We value a highly analytical mindset and eagerness to solve technical problems with data structures, storage systems, cloud infrastructure, front-end frameworks, and other technical tools. We're looking for someone with experience or interest in working with and using large-scale data to solve valuable business problems.
Applicants must be proficient in both English and Japanese languages. Security clearance or the ability to obtain clearance is required. 1+ years of relevant, post-college work experience is preferred, along with a strong engineering background in fields such as Computer Science, Mathematics, Software Engineering, Physics, and Data Science.
