Careers
Help us turn outcomes into shipped software.
Deployment.io is founder-led and early. Our AI agents plan, build, verify, and ship software into customers’ own clouds — and we keep one role open year-round for the people who own that outcome end-to-end.
Forward Deployed Engineer
You own customer outcomes end-to-end. You embed with a customer’s team, learn their codebase and conventions, and drive our agents to ship what they need — into their cloud, on their cadence. You steer; the agents execute. You’re accountable for the outcome going live — not for typing every line.
What you’ll do
- Own a portfolio of customer outcomes — from intake to live in production.
- Embed with a customer's team: learn their repos, conventions, and release process.
- Drive our planning and execution agents to plan, build, verify, and ship across their repos.
- Review what the agents produce, hold the quality bar, and unblock them when they get stuck.
- Stand up and operate their environments, approval gates, and pipelines.
- Turn recurring work into playbooks so the next outcome ships faster.
- Be the customer's technical point of contact — clear updates, honest tradeoffs.
What you’ll bring
- ~2–5 years shipping production software — or equivalent. We hire on evidence, not years.
- You already live in AI coding agents (Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, and friends) — daily, not occasionally.
- Polyglot and pragmatic: you pick up new stacks fast and care about both craft and shipping.
- Comfortable owning a customer relationship — clear writing, calm under pressure, honest about tradeoffs.
- Fluent with Git, terminals, and Docker, and at home in at least one cloud (AWS a plus).
This role is for you if
- You'd rather own an outcome than a ticket.
- You're energized by orchestrating agents to do 10× what you could by hand.
- You like being close to the customer and the business reason behind the work.
- You want real ownership and ground-floor impact at a founder-led company.
It’s not for you if
- You want a narrow, spec-driven IC track with no customer contact.
- You haven't made AI agents part of how you actually work.
- You need heavy process and detailed handoffs to move.
- You'd rather go deep on a single stack than range across many.
How we work
You work directly with the founder — no layers, no telephone.
We measure what ships to production, not time logged.
Competitive salary plus meaningful early-stage equity, and ground-floor impact.
Remote in the US or India — async-friendly, close to the customers you serve.
How to apply
Email jobs@deployment.io. It reaches Ankit, the founder, directly — he reads every application himself. Don’t send just a resume — send evidence: links to things you’ve shipped with AI agents (PRs, repos, demos, recordings), and a short note on one outcome you owned end-to-end and what made it hard. The clearer the note, the better — clear writing is the job.
Think it’s you? Show us.
No perfect timing required — this role is always open. Send your evidence and the outcome you’re proudest of.
