73d • $212,000 - $273,000

About The Position

As a Forward-Deployed Engineering Leader, you won’t just implement solutions-you’ll define them. We embed directly with our clients-some of the largest and most complex wealth management institutions in the U.S.-to tackle their toughest challenges: messy data pipelines, rigid compliance workflows, clunky legacy tech. You’ll lead small, high-talent teams in the field, architect clean solutions under pressure, and push them to production-fast. This isn’t a role where you follow a playbook. It’s where you write one…From day one.

Requirements

• 8+ years of software engineering, including 3+ in forward-deployed, customer-facing, or technical consulting roles.
• Proven leadership experience building and scaling high-performing engineering teams.
• Fluency in modern languages (Python, Java, Go, C++, etc.) plus strong systems design + architecture skills.
• AI/ML, big data, or distributed systems expertise (must-have, not just nice-to-have).
• Communication dexterity: you can shift seamlessly between deep technical detail and big-picture business outcomes.
• Adaptability: thrive in ambiguity, pivot quickly, and deliver under pressure.
• Willingness to travel regularly to customer sites across the U.S.

Responsibilities

• Grow and mentor a team of forward-deployed engineers obsessed with speed and precision.
• Work side by side with executives, operators, and end-users to uncover the hardest problems and design real solutions.
• Architect systems, ship code, debug, and deploy into production-you set the standard.
• Partner with core engineering and product teams to feed frontline insights directly into the roadmap.
• Define and refine how we deploy, measure, and sustain impact in the field.
• Build trusted relationships with CIOs, CTOs, and COOs-helping shape the future of wealth management technology.

Benefits

• Competitive base salaries
• Annual performance-based bonuses
• Equity sharing
• Comprehensive health benefits including dental, life, and disability insurance
• Unlimited paid time off program
• Diversity and inclusion initiatives
