AI-fluent by default
Every candidate is screened for how they actually work with AI — not just whether they’ve used it. We match you to the exact AI-driven workflows your team relies on.
How to hire your Forward Deployed Engineer
1
Open your position
Post your role risk-free. You won’t pay until you make a hire.
2
Review candidates in 48 hours
We match you with senior, vetted candidates who’ve actively expressed interest in your role — interviews, not résumés.
3
Hire — and keep them
We handle compliance, payments, and equipment. You control comp with our cost-plus model, so your best people stay.
Our talent works across Latin America — Brazil, Mexico, Colombia, Argentina, Chile, and beyond — on US business hours. Most of the region sits within a few hours of US Eastern time, so you get a full workday of overlap: standups, pairing, and code review happen in real time, not overnight.
And they communicate like teammates, not vendors — fluent, professional English and a startup-ready working style.

What do Forward Deployed Engineers do?
Forward Deployed Engineers embed directly with your customers — deploying your product into their environment, building the custom integrations that make it fit, and turning messy real-world requirements into working software. They live at the intersection of engineering, product, and the customer, shipping solutions on the ground and carrying what they learn back to the roadmap. Increasingly, that last mile is AI work: wiring LLMs and agents into customer systems and standing up AI-driven workflows fast.
Core responsibilities
Embed with customers to deploy and tailor the product in their environment
Build custom integrations, connectors, and data pipelines for each account
Translate real-world requirements into working software, fast
Stand up AI-driven workflows and wire LLMs into customer systems
