Forward-Deployed Engineer

• Own technical success end to end: onboarding, ingestion, integration
• Run pilots to conviction: define success criteria, build to them
• Embed on-site; be the engineer customers trust
• Ship field learnings back into the platform
• Build playbooks that make each deployment faster than the last

You may be a good fit if you have

• 3+ years of engineering with real customer-facing time
• Strong Python and data skills in a modern web stack
• Presence in a technical room: workshops, live debugging, off-script demos
• Self-direction in the field, 50%+ travel appetite
• Based in or near San Francisco

Strong candidates may also have

• Robotics or hard-tech exposure (ROS/MCAP a plus)
• LLM and agent-systems experience
• Zero-to-one startup time

How we work

We're building the company we always wanted to join: small, fast, and serious about the craft.

The bar is work you'll be proud of in five years, shipped this week.

Everyone owns outcomes end to end: the interesting problems don't come with instructions, and nobody will hand you a playbook.

We question requirements, delete what shouldn't exist, and spend our energy where customers feel it.

If you want clear lanes and a manager to set your week, we'll frustrate you.

If you want real problems, real pace, and the best work of your career, you'll fit right in.

• Competitive salary
• Additional compensation and benefits may include equity and flexible working arrangements

If this reads like you but you don't tick every box, apply anyway.

We care more about trajectory than checklists.

Alloy Robotics is an equal opportunity employer.

We consider all qualified applicants without regard to race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, veteran, or disability status.
