About The Role

Taktile is a high-growth, post product-market-fit start-up, on a fast trajectory to becoming market leader in the field of automated decisioning. We are looking for a Senior Forward Deployed Engineer to help us transform how our customers make critical business decisions by onboarding them onto Taktile and ensuring they get real value from our platform. Acting as a trusted advisor, you’ll support customers in reaching their goals and maximizing Taktile’s impact.

If you’re passionate about tech and AI, and have extensive experience with Python, SQL, and REST APIs, you’ll thrive here.

What You'll Do as Senior Forward Deployed Engineer

• Lead complex Taktile deployments in production. You own technical delivery across multiple deployments from scoping to stable production.
• Apply your technical expertise, problem-solving skills and creativity to help organizations address real-world challenges. Your day could include designing solution architectures, developing decision logic and AI agents, or aligning with key customer stakeholders—all while ensuring an outstanding experience and rapid time to value for Taktile’s customers.
• You effectively scope work, sequence delivery, and proactively remove blockers, while making thoughtful trade-offs between scope, speed, and quality to ensure successful and timely project delivery.
• Partner with Taktile’s product management team to turn your understanding of customer needs into actionable product insights, directly influencing the evolution of Taktile’s product roadmap.
• Develop reusable resources, best practices, and tools to share your expertise and help scale the forward deployed engineering function across the organization.

About You

• You bring 3-5 years of engineering or technical deployment experience that includes customer-facing work.
• You have strong technical background, preferred in fields such as Computer Science, Mathematics, Software Engineering, Physics, and Data Science.

Ideal Qualifications (but not required)

• You have 3-5 years of experience as a Forward Deployed Engineer, Solution Engineer, Implementation Specialist or an equivalent position within a B2B SaaS company.
• You have experience in building AI applications.
• You have experience in applying and optimizing statistical and machine learning models to solve business problems.
• You have experience with at least one of the major cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, GCP).
• You are fluent in Spanish and/or Portuguese

What We Offer

• Work with colleagues that lift you up, challenge you, celebrate you and help you grow. We come from many different backgrounds, but what we have in common is the desire to operate at the very top of our fields. If you are similarly capable, caring, and driven, you'll find yourself at home here.
• Make an impact and meaningfully shape an early-stage company.
• Experience a truly flat hierarchy and communicate directly with founding team members. Having an opinion and voicing your ideas is not only welcome but encouraged, especially when they challenge the status quo.
• Learn from experienced mentors and achieve tremendous personal and professional growth. Get to know and leverage our network of leading tech investors and advisors around the globe.

Our Stance

• We're eager to meet talented and driven candidates regardless of whether they tick all the boxes. We're looking for someone who will add to our culture, not just fit within it. We strongly encourage individuals from groups traditionally underestimated and underrepresented in tech to apply.
• We seek to actively recognize and combat racism, sexism, ableism and ageism. We embrace and support all gender identities and expressions, and celebrate love in its many forms. We won't inquire about how you identify or if you've experienced discrimination, but if you want to tell your story, we are all ears.
