Forward Deployed Engineer

Embed with real customers, untangle their hardest marketing-ops problems, and ship software that fixes them in days, not quarters.

About this role

CMO Owls sells into real marketing teams with real, messy workflows. This role sits close to those customers: you learn how their team actually operates, map that mess into scoped, buildable work, and ship real software against it, fast. You are judged on whether the customer's team actually uses what you built, not on how clever the architecture is.

What you will do

• Embed with new and existing customers to learn how their marketing operation actually runs
• Turn ambiguous customer problems into scoped, shippable features and integrations
• Build integrations between CMO Owls and whatever a customer's team already runs (CMS, CRM, analytics, spreadsheets)
• Own delivery through adoption — a project is done when the customer's team uses it daily, not when the code merges
• Bring real field learnings back to the product and engineering roadmap

What we are looking for

• Strong full-stack or backend engineering fundamentals and real production shipping experience
• A bias for action solving ambiguous, real-world problems with imperfect information
• Comfort working directly with customers, not shielded behind a PM or account manager
• System integration experience with non-standard or legacy third-party APIs

Nice to have

• LLM-backed workflow automation experience
• Experience in a customer-facing technical role (solutions engineering, technical support, consulting)
• Willingness for occasional travel to customer sites
