Forward Deployed Engineer

At Astraeus, Forward Deployed Engineers sit at the intersection of product, engineering, and customer outcomes. You’ll work directly with customers to understand complex operational and data challenges, and then design and implement solutions that actually run in production. This is not a traditional implementation role, nor is it an internal product engineering role. You’ll own problems end-to-end: from shaping ambiguous requirements to shipping working systems that deliver measurable impact. You will operate as a technical builder in customer environments, helping close the gap between business complexity and production-grade software. What You’ll Do Partner directly with customer stakeholders to understand workflows, constraints, and goalsTranslate real-world problems into scalable, production-grade technical solutionsBuild and deploy systems using Astraeus’ platform and modern tooling (including AI-native workflows)Rapidly prototype and iterate, often starting with rough ideas and evolving them into robust systemsAct as a trusted technical partner to customers: someone who both understands the problem and delivers the solutionWork across product, engineering, and customer teams to ensure what gets deployed is technically sound, operationally viable, and aligned to user outcomes What We’re Looking For 2–5 years of experience in a high-performance, client-facing environmentProven ability to take ownership and drive workstreams independentlyStrong technical fluency—you can build, debug, and ship, whether your background is in software engineerings, technical consulting, solutions engineerings, or a similar hands-on roleComfort operating in ambiguity and turning incomplete information into actionExperience working with complex organizations, workflows, and stakeholdersStrong communication skills and the ability to build credibility quickly with both tehcnical and non-technical audiences Strong signals You’ve experimented with LLMs, automation, or AI-driven workflows in real or side projectsYou’ve built scrappy tools, scripts, or pragmatic systems to solve real problemsYou’re curious about agentic systems and how software can take action, not just provide insightYou enjoy figuring things out quickly with new tools, not waiting for perfect specs or training You Might Be a Fit If You: Prefer building and delivering over creating decks and recommendationsWant to stay close to real users and real problemsEnjoy working directly with customers, but want to own the outcome, not just advise on itFind yourself experimenting with new tools, especially AI, just to see what’s possibleAre looking for a faster-paced, higher-impact environment than traditional paths offer Why Astraeus You’ll ship real systems, not just propose themYou’ll work with cutting-edge AI capabilities in real customer environmentsYou’ll see your work used in live workflows immediatelyYou’ll help define how AI-native software gets deployed inside complex organizations Introduce Yourself If your expertise aligns with Astraeus but doesn't map to a current open role, we want to hear from you. ‍We're particularly interested in domain experts in wealth management operations, compliance architecture, data engineering, agentic systems, and enterprise sales to RIAs and private equity firms. ‍Tell us what you've built, what you understand about the problem we're solving, and how you'd contribute. We review every submission personally. Name* Email* LinkedIn or Portfolio Message* Submit Application Your application has been received. If there's potential alignment, someone from our team will reach out within a few business days to discuss next steps. ‍We review every submission carefully. If we don't reach out immediately, it means we're assessing fit or timing - not lack of interest in your background. Oops! Something went wrong while submitting the form.
