Job Description
Join our team as a Senior Manager of Deployed Engineering, where you will work alongside practitioners at the world's largest audit firms. In this player-coach role, you will be hands-on in customer deployments, writing production code, and solving technical problems. As the team grows, your focus will shift towards leadership, but you will always remain close to the work. You will report to our CTO/co-founder and work closely with Product, Engineering, and Customer leadership.
- Lead important deployments and own technical delivery for enterprise customers, including writing production code and solving technical problems.
- Build and lead the forward deployed engineering team, hiring, coaching, and growing strong engineers who can build and work directly with customers.
- Turn field work into product by spotting patterns across deployments and working with Product and Engineering to make solutions reusable.
- You still build. You've written production software recently and want to keep doing it. This role isn't a fit for someone looking for a manage-only role
- Excitement about bringing AI agents into high-stakes professional work
- Good judgment about building for one customer versus the platform, and the ability to push back on scope when it matters
- Comfort in front of senior enterprise stakeholders, especially in regulated or complex environments
- Experience leading or mentoring engineers, and excitement about building a team from an early stage
- 5+ years of leadership experience in forward deployed, deployment, solutions or customer engineering. That might mean FDE leadership at Palantir or a similar company, a Field CTO role, or leading technical work with large enterprise customers
- Knowledge of audit, accounting, risk or compliance
- Experience at a Big 4 firm (Deloitte, PwC, EY, KPMG) or a major consulting firm such as Accenture, McKinsey, BCG or Bain
- Experience deploying LLM or agent-based systems in production
