Description
About the Role
We are a leading Internet company launching a new, high‑priority business initiative in North America. We are building a greenfield US delivery team and looking for a Forward Deployment Engineer who will act as the primary bridge between our product and our enterprise clients.
Unlike traditional engineering roles, this position is customer‑centric : you will be responsible for the end‑to‑end delivery experience—from onboarding and integration through ongoing adoption and value realization. Your success is measured not by lines of code, but by customer satisfaction, retention, and expansion . You will work closely with client stakeholders (both technical and business) to ensure our AI‑powered solutions are deployed smoothly, adopted widely, and deliver tangible business outcomes.
This is an ideal role for someone who enjoys solving real‑world problems, has a knack for translating technical concepts into business language, and takes pride in making customers successful.
What You'll Do
Own the Delivery Journey: Lead customer onboarding, deployment planning, and integration execution for new enterprise clients.
Customer Success Management: Proactively monitor customer health, usage patterns, and satisfaction; drive adoption campaigns and quarterly business reviews.
Needs Discovery: Work with client teams to understand their business goals, technical constraints, and success criteria – then define the optimal deployment approach.
Collaborative Integration: Coordinate with internal engineering and product teams to deliver custom integrations (APIs, data pipelines, enterprise platforms) – you will not write production‑grade code from scratch, but you will review, test, and troubleshoot integrations and scripts.
Training & Enablement: Conduct technical workshops and training sessions for client administrators and end‑users to ensure self‑sufficiency.
Issue Resolution: Act as the first point of contact for technical and operational issues during deployment; escalate complex bugs to engineering while providing clear communication to customers.
Voice of the Customer: Synthesize customer feedback and deployment patterns into actionable product improvement suggestions, influencing our product roadmap.
What You'll Bring
Experience:
3+ years in a customer‑facing technical role such as Customer Success Engineer, Solutions
