Forward Deployed Engineer

Forward Deployed Engineer About the Opportunity Freckle is built for operators. We’re the modern AI enrichment platform for HubSpot and Salesforce teams. Customers like Bolt, Applause, Sleekflow, Knowify, and Optimal Workshop use Freckle’s AI agents to enrich company and contact data across the web and 50+ providers, keeping CRM records clean, complete, and activation-ready. As more teams rely on enrichment as real infrastructure, the customer experience has to scale with the workflow. Our customers need more than a help desk. They need a technical partner who understands messy tables, real operator constraints, and what “good data” looks like in production. We’re hiring a Forward Deployed Engineer to own that gap at Freckle: helping customers go live with the right workflows, continuously improve their tables over time, and unlock new use cases as Freckle becomes core to how they operate. This role requires real duality: customer-facing judgment and technical sharpness. You won’t be successful here with only one. This is an individual contributor role reporting to the Head of Operations. Areas of Ownership In this role, you’ll serve as the primary technical partner for the operators running Freckle day-to-day. You’ll help customers implement workflows that work in practice, troubleshoot edge cases quickly, and scale success through education and playbooks. - Own a book of 20+ enterprise accounts from onboarding through ongoing success.

Proactively introduce new enrichment providers, workflow patterns, and use cases to keep customers getting incremental value as their needs and the platform evolve - Build the knowledge library. Develop customer-facing documentation and in-app chat resources that help operators troubleshoot issues and level up their workflows independently - Act as the bridge between customers and the product. Surface workflow patterns, edge cases, and feature gaps to Engineering and Product to continuously improve the platform About You You’re technically sharp, highly customer-oriented, and you care about making data workflows work in the real world. We’re open to different paths into this role. You might come from an ops background with a technical bent or a technical background with strong customer chops. If you enjoy vibe coding as a side quest, even better. You likely have more than a few of the following: - 2–5 years in a customer-facing technical role supporting production workflows (Solutions Engineering, Technical Support, Customer Success, Account Management, or similar) - Deep experience in the GTM tools operators live in daily think HubSpot, Salesforce, Vector, Instantly, HeyReach, Trigify, etc. - Strong technical instincts for troubleshooting integrations, enrichment workflows, sync behavior, and messy real-world edge cases - High comfort with ambiguity where you can take an unclear customer problem and drive it to a clean outcome without relying on engineering support - Clear communication skills externally and internally, acting as a customer whisperer in the moment and a strong advocate back to Product and Eng - Operator mindset and ownership where you don't just raise issues but own the workflow, the fix, and what "good" should look like going forward - Process builder by default where once you solve something twice, you want to turn it into a playbook that scales Is This Role Right for You?
