About this job

Position Overview

Forward Deployed Engineers at Bobyard work directly with our most strategic customers — general contractors — to solve critical problems end-to-end.

You’ll embed with customer teams, understand their workflows, and ship solutions directly in their environment. From prototype to production in days. The patterns you establish become core product features.

This role combines software engineering, product thinking, and customer partnership. High autonomy, high impact.

What You’ll Do

  • Embed & ship: Work directly in customer instances. Identify high-leverage problems. Build full-stack: React, Django, PostgreSQL. Ship in weeks, not quarters.

  • Own outcomes: Define ambiguous problems and deliver scalable solutions. Design systems that handle 10x usage.

  • Bridge product ↔ customer: Your field work informs roadmap. Convert one-off solutions into platform capabilities.

  • Full lifecycle: Discovery, system design, data modeling, infra, frontend, deployment, monitoring. You build it, run it, and scale it.

  • Ensure reliability: AWS / GCP. Deploy, monitor, debug. Ensure reliability.

  • Validate and scale: Prototype with real users. Measure impact. Invest in what works.

You Are

  • High-ownership: Comfortable with ambiguity. Create clarity and deliver.

  • Product-minded: Understand why we build. Strong product judgment. Partner effectively with design.

  • Technically strong: System design, performance, architecture. Experience scaling systems or learn quickly.

  • Full-stack: Frontend through infra. No handoffs. Accountable for outcomes.

  • Fast learner: Adopt new tools and ship.

  • Startup-focused: Prefer impact and speed over process. Comfortable with customer-facing work.

  • Reliable under pressure: Manage parallel priorities. Sequence work and deliver.

A note on pace

We ship weekly, and priorities move as we learn from customers. Requirements are often incomplete when work starts, and you'll be expected to shape them. If that pace excites you, you'll fit in well.

Benefits

  • Competitive salary plus equity options

  • Health, dental, and vision coverage

  • Catered lunch in the office

  • $70 a month toward your commute

  • Team happy hours and events

  • Build a category-defining company with a small, driven team


Comp Philosophy

Cash for stability. Bonus for performance. Equity for ownership. Your package reflects your role, your experience, and what you deliver.
