Forward Deployed Engineer, Consultant
Join a deployment team embedded inside a client's operation, writing production code against real systems from your first week under a senior engineer's architecture.
This is the entry point into forward-deployed engineering at CopperPin. You'll rotate across deployments in different industries, building the range that turns into a senior role.
Why CopperPin
You'll get more real production exposure in a year here than in three years at a typical engineering org — different industries, different stacks, and a direct line to whether what you built actually worked.
What you'll do
- 01Build features and integrations for production AI systems, under a senior engineer's architecture, against the client's real stack
- 02Help instrument and measure a workflow's baseline before the build starts
- 03Debug issues against live production traffic — not a staging environment nobody trusts
- 04Write documentation clear enough that the client's team can maintain what you built
- 05Sit in client meetings and learn to translate operator problems into engineering scope
What we look for
1–3 years of software engineering experience, with real code shipped to production- Some exposure to building with LLMs — coursework, side projects, or professional work all count
- Comfort with ambiguity: client environments are messy, and the workflow rarely matches the documentation
- A bias toward shipping over polishing — we measure outcomes, not elegance
Important
This role is client-embedded and requires travel to client sites as deployments require. It is not a remote engineering role.
