Staff Forward Deployed Engineer

The Opportunity

As a Staff Forward Deployed Engineer, you will help partners successfully adopt and integrate Learning Commons products while shaping the future of the platform itself. You will work directly with partner engineering, data, and product teams to identify opportunities, define solutions, build prototypes, develop production integrations, and drive successful deployments. Along the way, you will translate real-world learnings into reusable capabilities, deployment patterns, and product improvements that benefit the broader ecosystem.

This role will drive impact in software engineering, product development, data, and partner collaboration. It is ideal for someone who enjoys building new products, working closely with customers, and operating in ambiguous environments. Every partner deployment helps shape the future of Learning Commons. As a Staff Forward Deployed Engineer, you will play a critical role in bringing our products into the ecosystem while helping define what we build next. This is an opportunity to work at the intersection of engineering, AI, data, and learning science while helping create foundational infrastructure for the future of learning.

What You'll Do

• Design and implement integrations using Learning Commons products, APIs, and datasets.
• Build prototypes, proofs of concept, and production-ready solutions.
• Collaborate directly with partner engineering, data, and product teams to solve complex technical challenges.
• Lead technical discovery, architecture discussions, implementation planning, and deployment efforts.
• Support data integration and alignment between partner systems and Learning Commons datasets.
• Identify patterns across deployments and contribute reusable solutions back to the Learning Commons platform.
• Partner with Product and Engineering teams to influence roadmap priorities based on field experience.
• Establish best practices, deployment frameworks, and implementation patterns that accelerate adoption across partners.

What You'll Bring

• 8+ years of software engineering experience.
• Experience building and launching net-new products, platforms, or technical capabilities.
• Strong communication skills and the ability to work effectively with technical and non-technical audiences.
• Experience working directly with customers, partners, or external organizations to solve technical problems and deliver solutions.
• Demonstrated proficiency using agentic software engineering tools (e.g., Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Windsurf, or similar) as part of modern software development workflows.
• Strong proficiency in TypeScript and Python. Experience contributing to codebases built with other popular programming languages.
• Able to operate independently and turn loosely defined problems into practical solutions.
