About the Role!
We're looking for a Forward Deployed Engineer (FDE) to join our team on high-impact engagements with some of our most strategic partners. As an FDE at Codelitt, you'll operate at the intersection of engineering and client delivery, embedded directly with customers to build custom integrations, extend platform capabilities, and drive measurable outcomes from day one.
This is not a support or services role. FDEs own what they build. You'll work in small, autonomous teams with minimal overhead, leading technical conversations with client counterparts and taking end-to-end responsibility for critically important projects. Each engagement is different: one quarter you might be designing a data pipeline for a fintech platform, the next you're architecting an AI-powered workflow for an enterprise SaaS product.
You bring lessons from the field back into Codelitt, turning one-off client wins into scalable and repeatable solutions that raise the bar across all our engagements.
Who You Are:
- A strong generalist engineer with a bias toward action and deep ownership of outcomes.
- Comfortable leading technical conversations with clients, including non-technical stakeholders.
- Equally at home writing production code and whiteboarding architecture.
- Experienced working across the stack, backend-heavy but not limited by it.
- Fast at ramping up on unfamiliar codebases, systems, and domains.
- Fluent in using AI tools to accelerate development, with the judgment to validate outputs and ship quality work.
- Low-ego, collaborative, and energized by the variety and challenge of enterprise client work.
- Someone who finds the ambiguity of client engagements exciting, not stressful.
What You'll Do:
Client-Facing Technical Delivery
- Partner directly with technical and strategic counterparts at Codelitt's enterprise clients.
- Lead the end-to-end delivery of custom integrations, new features, and platform extensions.
- Set priorities, manage timelines, and own outcomes with the full trust and backing of the Codelitt team.
- Represent Codelitt in client meetings as a technical lead and trusted engineering partner.
Build and Integrate
- Design and implement custom data integrations, APIs, and backend services that extend client platforms.
- Work with a wide range of tech stacks across engagements (Java, Python, Go, TypeScript, React and whatever the problem requires).
- Build with scalability in mind: solutions should serve the platform, not just the immediate use case.
- Apply AI-assisted development workflows to accelerate delivery without compromising quality.
Cross-Functional Collaboration
- Work closely with product, design, and engineering stakeholders on both the Codelitt and client sides.
- Translate complex technical realities into clear communication for non-technical audiences.
- Contribute field learnings back to Codelitt, improving our playbooks, tooling, and internal practices.
Engineering Quality
- Write maintainable, well-documented code that a team can own long after you've moved on.
- Participate in technical design decisions, tradeoffs, and architecture discussions.
- Uphold Codelitt's engineering standards even under delivery pressure.
Preferred Qualifications:
- 8+ years of professional software engineering experience.
- Proficiency in at least one backend language (Java, Python, or Go preferred); polyglot experience is a strong plus.
- Proficiency in at least one frontend framework (React, Angular, or Svelt preferred); polyglot experience is a strong plus.
- Solid foundation in REST API design, system integration, and relational or NoSQL databases.
- Experience delivering projects end-to-end in client-facing or cross-functional environments.
- Exposure to AI/ML workflows, LLM tooling, or agentic systems is a strong plus.
- Background in fintech, enterprise SaaS, or other data-intensive B2B platforms is valued.
- BS+ in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or equivalent practical experience.
Soft Skills:
- Exceptional communication: written, verbal, and on the call.
- Strong problem-solving instincts; comfortable with complexity and incomplete information.
- Self-directed and able to structure your own work without micromanagement.
- Ownership mindset: you don't wait to be unblocked, you unblock yourself.
- Adaptable, you thrive when the engagement changes shape, because it always does.
This is an opportunity to do some of the most technically diverse and client-impactful engineering work of your career. If you want ownership, variety, and the chance to build things that actually matter to the people using them, we'd love to hear from you.
