Forward Deployed Engineer
Why it's interesting
The cloud-native core-banking platform out to kill banks' legacy mainframes makes FDEs its 'primary technical interface with the client' — embedding them inside bank engineering teams to ship Vault into production. Deployment is the wedge for replacing 40-year-old COBOL.
The role
A hands-on generalist FDE role spanning backend development, systems integration, infrastructure, and technical consulting — embedded with client engineering teams to deliver production Vault and payments implementations. Up to 25% travel to client sites. $140K–$220K (employer provided). London and Singapore seats also exist.
