Compute - Forward Deployment Engineer

Required Qualifications

• PaaS & Cloud Platform Experience You have worked with PaaS or cloud infrastructure platforms — Heroku, Render, Railway, AWS Elastic Beanstalk, Google App Engine, or similar. You understand how developers deploy applications on managed platforms and where they run into trouble.
• Application Deployment Depth Strong understanding of how web applications, APIs, and backend services are deployed and operated in production. You know about containerization, runtime environments, networking, databases, and the full stack that surrounds an application.
• Solutions Architecture Track Record You have designed and delivered end-to-end technical solutions for customers in a customer-facing technical role. You think in systems, you own the architecture, and you see deployments through to production.
• Enterprise & Startup Customer Fluency Comfortable working across both enterprise and startup environments. You adjust your approach depending on who you are talking to — a solo founder moving fast or a platform team at a large enterprise moving carefully.
• Troubleshooting Across the Stack You can diagnose problems at any layer — application code, runtime configuration, networking, infrastructure. You do not need to hand off to understand what is happening.
• AI & ML Familiarity Working familiarity with AI and ML workloads is a plus. You do not need to be an ML engineer but you should be comfortable having a technical conversation about model deployment and inference when the customer needs it.
• Relevant Tooling Strong command of at least one backend language. Familiarity with containers, CI/CD pipelines, cloud networking, and deployment tooling. Python proficiency is a plus.
• Great Team Spirit A mission-driven approach to engineering, valuing clear communication, hands-on execution, and collective success over individual silos.
