But robots are a rounding error in our society: nearly nine out of ten American factories and warehouses don’t even have a single robot, and robots have yet to make their way into our homes or places of business. Tutor Intelligence is changing that. Tutor is a robotics research and deployment company, building generally capable robot hardware and artificial intelligence to enable robots to go where no robots have gone before. Sonny is a semi-humanoid robot with frontier dexterity approaching the human form. Cassie does back-breaking work, moving boxes, pallets, and bulk goods for businesses from family-owned manufacturers to some of the largest brands in the world. Tutor robots are manufactured at scale and operate as a network, combining the whole fleet’s learned experience to train ever more capable robot artificial intelligence. Founded at MIT and headquartered in Watertown, MA, our team is full stack: we design and manufacture robot hardware, train our own models, work directly with the smallest and largest end-customers, and maintain our fleet across the United States. We’re a team of researchers, engineers, technicians, operators, and sellers who love building things and solving hard problems. Our mission is grand: robots everywhere, for the common good, raising the standard of living across North America, and then the world. **The Role ** As our first Finance Builder / Engineer, you'll build the operating system for how Tutor runs its finances. You'll write software to unlock potential that was not previously accessible, by building whole workflows, tools, integrations, and agents from scratch, to build Tutor's Finance team into a leading technology-driven function. The work will touch support planning and forecasting, billing, the close, and the numbers that leadership runs the company on. In this role, you'll embed as a member of our finance team, and own outcomes for the team through technology. You'll study existing processes, identify bottlenecks and opportunities for growth through technology, ideate the right systems and solutions, and write, own, and sustain their implementation in software, with full visibility into what finance does across the business. Most of your work will be self-directed: start from a goal, and build the system that makes it possible. You'll join our internal systems team: a strategic team of engineers already embedded across deployment, manufacturing, maintenance, and hardware and software engineering, building products, solutions, and systems that let each function run smoothly and ambitiously, with the leverage for scale. You'll be the first builder dedicated to finance. You'll start by taking over and extending finance tools we've already built. From there you'll steward the entire domain as the business grows, using the tools alongside the team and improving them to handle more scale and complexity. ### What you'll work on - Architect and build the systems finance runs on, including FP&A and forecasting tools integrated with our existing systems, with live dashboards and analytics in place of spreadsheets. - Automate the close with software and AI agents: reconciliations, AP/AR, spend review, and variance explanations. - Own the usage-to-invoice pipeline, so billing reconciles to what our robots actually did. - Build the financial data layer that joins accounting, spend, CRM, billing, and robot operations data. - Model the business in code: pricing and deal economics, fleet and financing scenarios, and the annual operating plan. - Take over and extend the tools we already have, and keep them working as the team and the business scale. - Build in the controls, checks, and audit trails that let the numbers hold up to auditors, lenders, and investors. ### What we're looking for - You've architected and shipped a real system end to end, whether product, internal tooling, data, or infrastructure, and can explain the design choices behind it. - You write working software (Python, SQL, APIs, data pipelines) and build with LLMs and AI coding tools every day. - A technical background with a spike somewhere else: finance, economics, operations, strategy, or founding something. Your path probably hasn't been linear. - Demonstrated passion for, interest in, or experience with finance, and a fundamental understanding of how a company's finances work. You don't need to have held a finance title. - Precision: you build checks, sweat edge cases, and hate a number you can't explain. - High slope: you learn fast, take on ambiguous problems with little direction, and want to make a mark. - You want to be embedded in a business function. This is not a product engineering or research role. ### Nice to haves - Usage-based or subscription billing systems. - A modern accounting and spend stack, and BI tools. - Technical program management (especially FinOps or fintech), product management, or a past founder or first-of-function role. - Hardware unit economics, equipment financing, or other capital-intensive businesses. ### Why Tutor? Whether you’re designing robots, closing deals, running deployments, or creating the processes that help us scale, your work doesn’t sit on a shelf. It shows up on real production floors, making physical work safer and more affordable. Our team of 160+ is driven by curiosity and a genuine love of building. Everyone here takes real ownership, learns fast, and holds a high bar while having each other’s backs. If you love hard problems and creating things that didn’t exist before, you’ll fit right in. ### Benefits We take care of our team so they can do their best work. At Tutor, you’ll get: - Fully employer-covered health insurance, so you’re protected without the premium. - A managed 401(k) to help you plan for the future. - Generous time off: unlimited PTO and all federal holidays off for full-time salaried employees, and 16+ days of accrued paid time off plus 1.5x pay on federal holidays for hourly employees. - Regular in-office meals and team social events throughout the year. As Tutor grows, so will our benefits. We’re continuing to invest in ways to support our team at work and beyond. Tutor Intelligence is an equal opportunity employer and welcomes applicants from all backgrounds. - [View the posting at Tutor Intelligence](https://jobs.lever.co/tutorintelligence/8a7c64cd-9f9a-493a-a274-5ca803c0195c/apply) ## FDE jobs in Boston area 178 postings · 82 companies · read Nov 14, 2026 Median **$190,000** · middle half $160,000–$214,800 - [Rank these jobs by fit to you](https://nextmove.md/sign-up?from=%2Ffde%2Fjobs%2F35b8fcedf334e676&placement=list) ### [Finance Builder / Engineer](https://nextmove.md/fde/jobs/35b8fcedf334e676) **Tutor Intelligence** Series A · 50–100 people AI robotics / warehouse and manufacturing automation - Usage-to-invoice - First finance hire - AI close agents Pay not posted · Watertown, MA · On-site Posted today New ### [Forward Deployed AI Architect](https://nextmove.md/fde/jobs/a255cc6d726eec7f) **Crowe** 5000+ people Accounting, audit, tax, advisory, and consulting services - Agentic AI - 80% travel - Client-embedded **$102,400–$204,100** · Chicago, IL +36 · Hybrid Posted 2 days ago New ### [Forward-Deployed Full-stack Engineer (React+Node)](https://nextmove.md/fde/jobs/d34411fb810141a4) **Creative Chaos** 200–500 people AI-enabled operational transformation and software delivery - Client data feeds - Two-engineer pod - On-site Mon–Thu Pay not posted · Waltham, MA +2 · Hybrid Posted 7 days ago New ### [Forward Deployed Engineer, AWS Forward Deployed Engineering](https://nextmove.md/fde/jobs/e4b5aa282dcdc7d7) **Amazon (incl AWS)** Public · 5000+ people Tech / Retail / Cloud - AI applications - Enterprise clients - 30–50% travel **$143,700–$223,600** · East Palo Alto, CA +4 Posted 8 days ago ### [Forward Deployed Engineer](https://nextmove.md/fde/jobs/dfe338dad6dac3cb) **Generalist AI** Series A · 10–50 people Embodied AI / robotics foundation models - Robot task design - Early team hire - Customer-site work **$150,000–$200,000** · Somerville, MA · On-site Posted 9 days ago ### [Forward Deployed Engineer](https://nextmove.md/fde/jobs/b047149afdefb954) **Posh AI** Series B · 50–100 people Banking-focused conversational and agentic AI software - Voice AI rollouts - Credit unions - Core banking **$185,000–$215,000** · Boston, MA · Hybrid Posted 10 days ago ### [Staff Forward Deployed Engineer](https://nextmove.md/fde/jobs/55ab1cb03c40426b) **Analog Devices** Public · 5000+ people Semiconductors / analog, mixed-signal, power and RF - AI edge deployments - MLOps workflows - 10% travel **$197,800–$271,975** · San Jose, CA +1 Posted 2 weeks ago ### [Senior Forward Deployed Engineer, AWS Forward Deployed Engineering](https://nextmove.md/fde/jobs/0ebf30b12510c57d) **Amazon (incl AWS)** Public · 5000+ people Tech / Retail / Cloud - Production AI - Customer teams - 30–50% travel **$168,100–$261,500** · East Palo Alto, CA +4 Posted 11 days ago ### [Forward-Deployed Full-stack Engineer](https://nextmove.md/fde/jobs/c586756ad8cd001b) **Creative Chaos** 200–500 people AI-enabled operational transformation and software delivery - Metric pipelines - Two-engineer pod - On-site Mon–Thu Pay not posted · Waltham, MA +2 · Hybrid Posted 2 weeks ago - [Show all 178 jobs](https://nextmove.md/fde/jobs?region=greater-boston) Hiring at Tutor Intelligence and want this page changed or removed?
