Forward Deployed Engineering Principal

About the role

The Forward Deployed Engineering Principal plays a critical role in solving complex, high-impact challenges for PMG’s priority customers. This position operates at the intersection of business problems, technology, and platform innovation, partnering deeply with customers, vertical leaders, client strategy, analytics, product, and engineering to deliver custom technical solutions.

Responsibilities

• Partner deeply with priority customers and PMG leadership to understand material business challenges, constraints, and opportunities.
• Translate ambiguous business problems into clear technical approaches and working solutions.
• Design and deliver custom technical solutions across data, measurement, workflows, mobile, and platform integrations.
• Operate hands-on in solution design and build, using modern tools, AI-assisted coding, and best practices to move quickly without sacrificing quality.
• Advise customers and internal teams on feasibility, tradeoffs, and technical direction.
• Identify patterns, learnings, and approaches that can inform reusable accelerators or future platform capabilities.
• Influence product and platform evolution by feeding validated insights back into PMG’s broader technology ecosystem.
• Support high-impact moments such as strategic pitches, QBRs, and new business efforts where technical clarity materially changes the outcome.
• Use AI, automation, and technology to elevate the quality and efficiency of work, streamline processes, and enable faster, more informed decision-making in your role.

Requirements

• Strong technical literacy and the ability to design, evaluate, and build solutions without needing to be the deepest specialist in any single language or framework.
• Experience solving real business problems with technology, not just implementing predefined requirements.
• Comfort working across systems, data flows, APIs, and platforms, including modern cloud and measurement environments.
• 8+ years of experience in customer-facing or consultative technical roles (e.g., forward deployed engineering, solutions architecture, technical consulting, sales engineering, or similar).
• The ability to reason about tradeoffs, feasibility, and risk when the “right answer” isn’t obvious.
• A bias toward execution: you’re comfortable moving from problem to prototype to production quickly.
• Familiarity with AI-assisted and agentic coding tools, and the judgment to use them effectively within standards and best practices.
• Strong communication skills, especially the ability to explain complex technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders.
• A track record of influencing decisions without direct authority.
• Curiosity, adaptability, and comfort operating where the path to value isn’t fully defined upfront.
• An understanding that reuse, scale, and platform contribution are earned through impact—not assumed at the start.
