Forward Deployed Engineer

During the sales process

• Join account executives on calls and demos when technical questions arise or when a prospect needs to see the product at a deeper level.
• Translate what Atonom does into terms that resonate with technical buyers, IT stakeholders, and operations leads.
• Run product demonstrations that show prospects exactly how Atonom will work inside their business.
• Surface implementation complexity early so the AE can set accurate expectations before the deal closes.

During implementation and onboarding

• Own the implementation from contract signature through go-live. You are the customer's primary technical point of contact for setup, configuration, and getting their Atonom Cloud Employees running.
• Use Atonom's own product to support and accelerate the onboarding process. You will be working with the tools you help sell, not around them.
• Guide customers through the 90-day onboarding window, making sure they are seeing value and resolving anything that gets in the way.
• Make a clean handoff to the product specialist in customer success at the end of the onboarding period, with documentation and context that sets the customer up to succeed long term.

• Bachelor's degree in computer science, software engineering, information technology, or a related field, or equivalent hands-on technical experience.
• You are genuinely comfortable in customer-facing situations. Presenting to a room, navigating a tough technical question live, or delivering news a customer does not want to hear does not throw you off.
• You have a working understanding of how software is built, how APIs connect systems, and how business operations run day to day. You do not need to write production code, but you need to understand the technical landscape well enough to configure, troubleshoot, and explain.
• You are organized and accountable. You can manage multiple implementations in parallel without things falling through the cracks.
• You pick up new tools quickly and you are comfortable using AI-powered software to get work done faster. At Atonom, that is not optional, it is how the job works.
