Responsibilities

In one sentence: Deploy intelligence into the real world.

• Work directly with customers to understand their workflows, needs, and problems
• Design and implement solutions for our customers that integrate with Lovable
• Translate insights from real usage into foundational platform improvements
• Own projects end-to-end — from idea → architecture → shipping → iteration
• Shape how Forward Deployed Engineering works at Lovable (rituals, playbooks, org design)
• Contribute to core product strategy, technical decisions, and cultural foundations

Requirements

• 5+ years of experience building and shipping full-stack products
• Proficiency in modern frontend (React/TypeScript) and robust backend development

• Comfort operating in high-ambiguity, high-agency environments
