Forward Deployed Engineer - India

About the role

Forward Deployed Engineers embed directly with customer engineering teams to ship production-grade Cursor workflows that measurably improve how they build software. You’ll figure out what’s actually slowing a team down, design a practical solution, and own it end-to-end, from first discovery call through launch, iteration, and post-production support.

What you'll do

• Lead discovery with customer engineers to identify the real bottleneck and define clear success metrics
• Ship a fast first version in days, then harden it into something reliable over weeks with proper rollout plans, monitoring, and iteration based on real usage
• Own production quality: tracing, evals, metrics, debugging model behavior, latency/cost tradeoffs, and failure modes
• Work directly with Staff+/Platform/Eng leaders — going deep in code while also communicating clearly about tradeoffs and results
• You thrive in ambiguity and can turn fuzzy problems into clear scopes and shipped systems

What you need

• 1–3 years in software engineering
• Python
• TypeScript
• JavaScript
• Incident response
• Prototyping
• Any graduate
