ABOUT THE ROLE Forward Deployed Engineering (FDE) means embedding directly with organizations that rely on us, particularly those pursuing incredibly important missions in healthcare, tech, robotics, etc., to help them deliver critical outcomes and make our core product even better in the process. FDE responsibilities look similar to those of a small startup CTO: you’ll work independently or in small teams and own end-to-end execution of high stakes projects. By joining Credal as an FDE, you are leapfrogging your rate of learning and impact on the world. “Forward Deployed Engineering” was pioneered by Palantir: Credal’s founders and core team were top flight Palantir Forward Deployed Engineers and worked in some of the highest stakes engineering environments in the world (fun fact: our CTO wrote Palantir’s FDE job description!) ABOUT YOU - Much of Credal’s existing product has come out of learnings from customers! You think critically, creatively, and empathetically about what will really help our users and make our product better long term - You’re technical, curious, analytical, and love coming up with the right product for users’ problems - You’re a people person who loves working with leaders and end users alike, iterating on approaches and code to win - You embrace real world complexity, messiness and ambiguity, versus preferring being fed other peoples’ tidy Jira tickets - You believe technology is a tool to use to build, not an end unto itself Benefits and work environment - We reject toxicity and we embrace care for each other. A magical company culture and your wellbeing is leadership's top priority. Every decision we make as a company is evaluated through that lens. - Opportunities to network, grow, and advance quickly. We're a small, but rapidly expanding, team - and we always aim to promote from within first. - Free team lunch & dinner. - Situational hybrid work flexibility. - High quality health coverage, including great mental health benefits, for you and your immediate family.
