Forward Deployed Engineering Mission You’ll join Smartcat’s GTM org as a Forward Deployed Engineer , owning technical success across the full customer lifecycle—from pre-sales workflow discovery to implementation, adoption, and expansion. FDEs drive ARR by delivering measurable outcomes and building AI-powered workflows that accelerate Agent Platform adoption, improve multilingual quality, and maximize long-term value. You’ll partner closely with Sales, CX, Product, and Engineering to translate business goals into working solutions (integrations, prompts, and AI agents), lead go-lives, and surface customer insights to influence product direction and roadmap priorities on our biggest customers.
Role Overview The Forward Deployed Engineer (FDE) at Smartcat is a senior, customer-facing technical delivery role responsible for translating business goals into deployed AI-powered localization workflows — and ensuring those workflows drive measurable outcomes.
This is not a back-office implementation role. You will own the delivery and success of our largest customers by being their point of contact and trusted advisor. It is a forward-facing, outcome-owning role that requires deep technical fluency, strong execution discipline, and the ability to operate across pre-sales and post-sales.
