Forward Deployed Engineer, Privy

Engineering Culture

In practice, we use boring technology like Node, React, and AWS so we can focus our engineering energy entirely on pushing the boundaries of Privy's core product, e.g. through hardware enclaves, multi-region low latency APIs, and blockchain abstractions that are accessible to mainstream developers.

About the Role

We're looking for an exceptional Forward Deployed Engineer to join our team and be the primary technical owner for building out new capabilities with Privy's most important customers. In this role, you will combine technical expertise with a deep understanding of customer and business objectives to architect, develop, and deploy software features that address customers' needs and evolve the capabilities of Privy's core products.

Responsibilities

• Work directly with customers to understand their technical and operational objectives, scope requirements, and prototype and propose software solutions
• Design, code, and launch features that improve and innovate on Privy’s core product using tools like TypeScript, React, and Next.js, and own end-to-end development
• Drive product deployments, including configuration, testing, and troubleshooting
• Champion customer success, ensuring the team understands, prioritizes, and pursues customer feedback and pain points
• Dive deep into customer codebases to understand product usage and friction points, and uncover opportunities for improvements
• Partner with internal stakeholders to continuously align product roadmap and strategy with customer needs and objectives

Requirements

• 5+ years of professional, hands-on full-stack development experience with languages such as JavaScript, TypeScript, React, Python, Go, or Java
• Excel at rapid prototyping while maintaining appropriate quality standards
• Superb problem-solving skills and ability to understand the product and business side of development
• Experience building and owning features end-to-end
• Excellent ability to communicate and collaborate with both technical and non-technical stakeholders
• A passion for handling ambiguity and picking up new technologies, frameworks, and tools
• An entrepreneurial and high ownership mindset
• A desire for impact and a deep sense of urgency for your work

Preferred Qualifications

• Written open-source developer tooling
• Published your work (code, presentations, papers, blog posts, etc.)
• Experience building web3 applications
