Forward Deployment Engineer (FDE)

This position is listed on behalf of a partner company, who manages all applications and next steps. Our partner is looking for a Forward Deployment Engineer (FDE) based in India. This role serves as a technical bridge between core engineering teams and enterprise clients, bringing advanced software, data platforms, and AI-driven solutions into complex production environments. You will lead technical implementations, integrations, and customizations while working closely with client engineering and architecture teams. The position combines hands-on software development with systems integration, troubleshooting, and technical stakeholder management. You will build production-grade solutions to address client-specific requirements and resolve challenging technical issues. Your work will also help shape product improvements by translating real-world deployment challenges into actionable engineering feedback. This is an opportunity to work across diverse technologies, client environments, and high-impact technical projects.

Lead technical onboarding, implementation, configuration, and integration activities for enterprise clients, ensuring solutions are successfully adapted to their infrastructure and business requirements. Develop clean, robust, production-ready code to bridge functional gaps between core product capabilities and client-specific technical requirements. Build and configure integrations, APIs, data pipelines, and supporting infrastructure to enable reliable movement and processing of data across client environments. Investigate and resolve complex integration issues, API bottlenecks, system errors, and performance challenges within live or pre-production client environments. Collaborate directly with client engineering, architecture, and technical stakeholders to define implementation approaches, establish delivery milestones, and maintain clear technical expectations. Rapidly prototype and test technical solutions, adapting implementations as client requirements evolve while maintaining strong engineering and reliability standards. Capture recurring deployment challenges, client feedback, and feature requests and translate them into actionable insights for internal product and engineering teams. Help move solutions from initial prototypes through successful production deployment, ensuring technical quality, scalability, and operational readiness throughout the process. Requirements Bring 4–8 years of hands-on software development experience, with strong backend engineering skills in Python, Node.js, Java, or comparable technologies. Have proven experience designing and implementing RESTful APIs and integrating software systems across complex technical environments. Demonstrate practical experience with database migrations, data integrations, and cloud infrastructure across platforms such as AWS, GCP, or Azure. Possess strong debugging and problem-solving abilities, with experience diagnosing complex distributed-system issues, integration failures, and performance bottlenecks. Be comfortable writing efficient, production-quality code under tight timelines and adapting quickly to changing technical requirements. Have excellent communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to explain complex technical concepts clearly to both engineering teams and non-technical stakeholders. Demonstrate the adaptability and composure required to operate in high-pressure client environments while balancing multiple technical priorities. Hold a bachelor’s degree or equivalent technical education, with a strong foundation in software engineering and systems development. Benefits Full-time, remote opportunity open to professionals across India, with Bangalore and Pune among the supported locations. Flexible working model combining remote work with optional hybrid arrangements depending on project and client needs. Competitive annual compensation in the range of INR 2,200,000–4,000,000 , depending on experience and role fit. Opportunity to work directly with enterprise clients on complex software, data, cloud, and AI-driven implementations. Hands-on exposure to diverse client architectures, production systems, APIs, cloud platforms, and data pipelines. Strong opportunity to develop both deep technical expertise and client-facing engineering and communication skills. Direct influence on product development through feedback gathered from real-world implementations and customer environments. Fast-paced engineering environment offering significant autonomy, problem-solving challenges, and opportunities for professional growth.
