About The Position

Moment is building the operating system for investment management. The company’s platform brings trading, operations, and infrastructure workflows into one unified system for financial institutions. Founded by former quants from Citadel Securities and Jane Street, Moment launched publicly in 2024 and now supports institutions managing more than $10T in assets. Moment has raised $56M in funding from leading investors including Index Ventures, Andreessen Horowitz, and Lightspeed. Its most recent $36M Series B was led by Index. We’re looking for exceptional Forward Deployed Engineers (FDEs), hybrid builders, product thinkers, and GTM operators, to join our NYC team. FDEs at Moment work directly with our largest customers across every stage of the lifecycle: pre-sale solutioning, implementation, and post-sale growth. Think of this role as an embedded “mini-cofounder” for our clients: deeply technical, relentlessly curious, and obsessed with helping customers win. You’ll be responsible for understanding client workflows, crafting custom demos and proof-of-concepts, driving launches, and identifying expansion opportunities, all while feeding insights back into our product roadmap. This is an extremely cross-functional role that sits at the intersection of engineering, product, and business development.

Requirements

Versatile: You can move fluidly between engineering, product, and GTM contexts.
Technical: You can read and write lightweight code, reason about APIs, and understand systems design.
Customer-obsessed: You love solving complex problems directly with clients.
Entrepreneurial: You thrive in ambiguity and operate with the ownership mindset of a founder.
Communicative: You can translate technical detail into simple, compelling narratives for executives and engineers alike.
