About the role

  • Own end-to-end enterprise implementations: Build ambient agents inside enterprise customer environments, working directly in their infrastructure to prove out business value.
  • Build customer-specific integrations: Create GitHub Actions that run ambient agents with customer style guides, Jira bots that trigger locally-hosted agents, Slack integrations that let teams @mention Warpy to fix bugs or run workflows, and whatever else customers need to make ambient agents work in their stack.
  • Accelerate deals through technical execution: Turn pilot conversations into signed contracts by removing the implementation burden from customers who say 'this is great, we just don't have time to build it.'
  • Partner closely with Sales from discovery through implementation: Join customer calls from the very first discovery meeting to understand their technical environment and identify opportunities for ambient agents. Be the technical voice that helps scope what's possible and builds confidence in our solution.
  • Translate customer learnings back into product: Work closely with Engineering to share what you're learning in the field—which integrations should become first-party, what's blocking faster implementations, and where our platform needs to evolve. Your customer work should make the next implementation easier.

Requirements

  • You're a strong customer focused engineer. CS degree or equivalent experience. You'll go through our standard software engineering interview loop because you need to be able to build production-quality solutions, not just advise on them.
  • You have FDE-equivalent experience. This might be a formal Forward Deployed Engineer role, or you might be an early engineer or founder at a startup where you worked closely with GTM and did pilot implementations for enterprises. The key signal: you've built custom technical solutions for customers, not just internal products.
  • You're an excellent communicator who can sell the vision. You need to articulate Warp's vision for ambient agents in a way that gets enterprise engineers and executives excited. You're not just building—you're convincing people that this is the future and they should be part of it.
  • You have high EQ and can navigate enterprise relationships. Working with other companies' engineers requires a different approach than internal collaboration. You know how to be amenable, patient, and constructive even when things aren't set up the way you'd prefer.
  • You thrive in ambiguity and can figure things out. This is our first FDE role. There's no playbook yet—you'll be building it as you go. You're excited by that, not intimidated.
