Forward Deployed Engineer

About the role

This isn’t a traditional software engineering role. You will:

• Be one of the first Forward Deployed Engineers at Lovable
• Create a new function at the intersection of engineering, product, customer success, and research
• Partner with customers building never-seen-before AI systems
• Build product features based on real-world behaviors and emerging patterns
• Influence our core product direction and technical roadmap

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
• Strong architectural thinking and familiarity with distributed systems
• Ability to rapidly prototype, experiment, and learn from real usage
• Exceptional product intuition and ability to work directly with users
• Comfort operating in high-ambiguity, high-agency environments

Qualifications

• Bonus if you’ve:
• Worked on agentic AI systems or built with LLMs before
• Led zero-to-one product development
• Worked in a founding or early startup environment

Skills

• Experience with modern frontend technologies (React/TypeScript)
• Backend development skills (Golang & Rust)
• Familiarity with cloud services (Cloudflare, GCP, AWS)
• Experience with machine learning and natural language processing

Benefits

• Opportunity to design a new discipline from scratch
• Work with ambitious customers to translate impossible ideas into real products
• Join a small, talent-dense team building a generation-defining company
• Work in a forward-thinking, high-velocity environment
