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. This role involves applying problem-solving ability, creativity, and technical skills to help organisations use their data to drive a real impact in the world.
As an FDSE, 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.
Responsibilities:
- Impact: We take on meaningful and challenging projects that change the world for the better
- Ownership: We see projects through from beginning to end, working through any obstacles we may encounter
- Collaboration: We work internally with people from a variety of backgrounds , such as other FDSEs, product teams, and Deployment Strategists. We also work externally with our customers, often on site, to understand and solve their problems
- Trust: We trust each other to effectively manage time and priorities and give people the space to think for themselves
- Growth: We encourage ourselves and our peers to seek new challenges and opportunities for growth, as well as find new ways to innovate and share knowledge
- Learning: We often face entirely novel problems where we need to pick up a lot of new knowledge and learn how to use it to make progress
We value strong engineering backgrounds, highly analytical mindsets, and eagerness to solve technical problems with data structures, storage systems, cloud infrastructure, front-end frameworks, and other technical tools. Experience or interest in working with and using large-scale data to solve valuable business problems is also essential.
Required skills include security clearance, Dutch language fluency, and proficiency in programming languages such as Python, Java, C++, TypeScript/JavaScript, or similar.
