The job description from Emanate
Posted by Emanate on
As our founding Forward Deployed Engineer at Emanate, you’ll be at the front lines with our customers—deploying and tuning our systems in real-world environments. You’ll bridge the gap between our core engineering team and the unique, complex needs of our enterprise users. Moreover, you’ll build out the foundation of how this org will grow and expand. Expect to wear many hats: building integrations, debugging gnarly edge cases, optimizing deployment pipelines, and shipping features that materially improve the user experience.
