Forward Deployed Engineer

Everyone's talking about AI. But here's the truth: ChatGPT can't send your emails. It can't book your flights. It can't even order you lunch. Why? Because AI is trapped in a chat box. It can't take real actions in the real world. We are changing that forever. We're not just building another AI company - we're creating the infrastructure that will power every AI application you'll use in the future. The Revolution Needs You Every AI app needs agentic "tools" - special functions that let AI models take real actions. Without tools, AI can only chat. With tools, AI can actually do things. We're building the definitive tools catalog and tool-calling platform that will unlock AI's true potential. Think Zapier for AI actions. Think Auth0 for AI. Think really big. Why This Is The Opportunity of a Lifetime Leadership-Market Fit : Our CEO previously founded Stormpath (acquired by Okta), our CTO led the vector database team at Redis and is a contributor to LangChain and LlamaIndex, and our CRO, Ben Sabrin, was the founding VP of Sales at MongoDB (scaled 0–$60M) and an early leader at JBoss and Okta. Dream Team : We've assembled authentication, integrations, distributed systems, and AI experts from Okta, Redis, Microsoft, Splunk, Ngrok, Google, Airbyte, and HPE who've built and scaled multiple successful developer platforms. Perfect Timing : We're at the inflection point of AI adop [... source excerpt omitted ...] technical, incredibly articulate, and possess an insatiable curiosity for what’s possible. You aren't just giving demos; you are a systems thinker who can walk into a Fortune 500 customer and understand their entire technology landscape - identity, data, application, and governance layers - to design architectures that survive a rigorous security review. You’ll need to stay three steps ahead of the rapidly evolving Agentic AI ecosystem, mastering LLM orchestration, autonomous agent frameworks, and the complex world of tool-calling and action-oriented infrastructure. You won't just be a vendor; you’ll be a trusted consultant helping customers architect the transition from passive [... source excerpt omitted ...] nfrastructure enables real-world AI actions. Simplify the Complex: Take abstract infrastructure, middleware, and API concepts and turn them into clear, value-driven solutions for customers. Field-to-Product Loop: Act as the eyes and ears of the market, funneling deep technical feedback back to our Product and Engineering teams to shape the roadmap. We build our product like a private open-source project; if a feature or fix is needed to unblock a deployment, you are empowered to make it happen. You can take customer learnings to create working prototypes and systems that can eventually become part of the core platform. Drive Technical Wins: Navigate complex technical hurdles i
