About this role
About Forge
Forge https://withforge.com (backed by OpenAI and Founders Fund) is creating the next layer of human-computer interaction — combining the intelligence of AI with the reliability of software. We automate the most complex manual processes for the world's largest enterprises using a new English programming language that blends structured control flow with natural language instructions. Processes that once took hours can now be completed in a fraction of the time at superhuman quality.
Forge is now deployed globally, powering critical workflows for Fortune 500 companies in a variety of industries with 98%+ quality across a million production runs.
About the Role
As a Forward Deployed Engineer at Forge, you re-program entire companies.
You will be driving a fundamental shift in how enterprises operate and how all of software is defined. You will own our most strategic customers (some of the largest companies in the world) to build and deploy automation that was previously impossible. These are not incremental improvements; you'll be replacing load-bearing workflows in production that previously consumed thousands of human hours.
This role sits at the intersection of engineering, customer partnership, and operational excellence. You'll go deep into complex enterprise workflows, architect robust solutions using our AI-English programming language, and own deployments end-to-end — from initial discovery through global rollout. You'll build lasting relationships inside Fortune 500 organizations, understand the intricacies of their most critical processes, and deliver solutions that fundamentally change how they operate.
You will be Forge to our customers — the person who delivers previously impossible outcomes. This is a rare opportunity to re-build the largest industries in the world. And it requires someone who can do it all.
Responsibilities
- Write code and build production-grade processes using Forge's primitives and platform, ensuring solutions meet customer requirements for quality and reliability
- Conduct deep process discovery with customers, breaking down complex, ambiguous workflows into precise, automatable steps
- Architect implementations that scale and work consistently across high-volume, business-critical processes
- Iterate closely with customers and cross-functional partners to drive adoption from pilot to full production
- Navigate complex enterprise organizations and communicate effectively with stakeholders from operations teams to C-suite executives
- Identify and codify repeatable deployment patterns, contributing insights back to the main platform
- Build long-term customer relationships and proactively identify new automation opportunities throughout engagements
- Grow accounts and scale deployments globally
You May Be a Good Fit If You Have
- 1+ years of experience in a technical, customer-facing role such as Forward Deployed Engineer, Technical Program Manager, or Software Engineer with consulting experience. Former technical founders are also encouraged to apply.
- Strong programming skills and experience shipping production applications
- High agency with the ability to navigate ambiguity in complex enterprise environments
- A people-facing disposition — you enjoy building relationships and want to do more than just write code
- An ownership mentality and willingness to do whatever it takes to make deployments successful
- Strong communication skills to conduct discovery and convey technical concepts to diverse stakeholders
Nice to Have
- Experience with LLMs, including prompt engineering or AI product deployment
- Experience in enterprise verticals
- Previous work in customer-facing roles
- Founder experience
Forge
- We are in-person only in San Francisco, CA or New York City, NY
- Backed by Founders Fund and OpenAI
- We’re a tight-knit team that works hard because we believe that the nature of how computers work for people will finally change
- We have a very talent-dense team: engineers that have built multiple products 0 to 1 at prior fastest growing startups, Financial Services vertical lead at Palantir, VP of Ops at Scale AI, multiple past founders.
