Forward Deployed Engineering Mission
As a Forward Deployed Engineer within Smartcat’s Go-To-Market organization, you will take ownership of technical success throughout the entire customer journey—from the initial pre-sales workflow analysis to implementation, adoption, and ongoing expansion. FDEs play a pivotal role in driving Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR) by delivering quantifiable outcomes and constructing AI-infused workflows that enhance Agent Platform adoption, elevate multilingual quality, and optimize long-term value. You will collaborate closely with Sales, Customer Experience, Product, and Engineering teams to translate business objectives into effective solutions (integrations, prompts, and AI agents), lead client go-lives, and extract customer insights that will shape product direction and roadmap priorities for our most significant clients.
Role Overview
The Forward Deployed Engineer (FDE) at Smartcat is a senior, client-facing technical delivery role responsible for converting business objectives into active AI-driven localization workflows—ensuring these workflows achieve measurable results.
This is not a backend implementation role. You will be the primary contact and trusted advisor for our largest clients, accountable for their delivery and success.
It is a forward-facing, outcome-oriented position that demands a high level of technical expertise and a commitment to client success.
