Forward Deployed Engineer

About the role

The best way to learn what our platform should do next is to sit next to the people using it. That's this job. You'll embed with our customers, find where shipping reliable software is still too hard or too slow, and help build what Antithesis does next.

What You’ll Do

• Help a customer get their system running inside Antithesis, making sure it catches the bugs they care about most and chasing down the real ones it finds.
• Fold Antithesis into how they ship: their CI, their reviews, the way their agents write and check code.
• Notice what was slow, manual, or missing, and propose a fix.
• Work with our platform engineers to prototype solutions that solve your customer's problems.

What We Need

• You've spent real time building or operating serious systems software, where correctness matters and the failures are subtle.
• You know how systems break under concurrency, faults, and load in ways no test caught.
• You've worked with customers as an engineer. You've been in the room where something's broken and you're the one who has to help, and you didn't hate it.
• You can read an unfamiliar codebase, instrument it, write a test, and debug something you've never seen before.
• When you hit a rough edge, you'd rather fix it than route around it.
• You can explain hard things to non-technical people without lecturing.
• You're up for five days a week in the office (DC, London, or SF) and occasional travel to our customers' offices.
• Bonus experience with fuzzing, property-based testing, or chaos engineering.
• Experience building the kind of software our customers build: fintech, databases, blockchain, event streaming, cloud infra, trading.
• Experience building internal tools for other engineers.
• A startup where the job changed every six months.
