Forward Deployed Engineer

Weave (YC W25) is building the definitive platform for understanding and improving how engineering teams work. We believe the way engineering output is measured today is fundamentally broken and that modern AI can give teams a far more accurate and actionable view of productivity, impact and collaboration.

Trusted by 200+ customers such as Robinhood, Rho, PostHog and Browserbase, we’ve delivered consistent double-digit month-over-month revenue growth since May and are looking to accelerate our growth.

We want to hire an exceptional forward deployed engineering manager to help us make sure everyone gets the most out of our product.

We've raised a $13.5 million Series A and are backed by Standard Capital, YCombinator, Moonfire, Burst Capital, IrregEx and the Agent Fund.

This is a rare opportunity to join at the ground floor and shape how millions of engineers and leaders understand engineering work.

WHAT WE’RE BUILDING

Weave is rethinking engineering output from first principles.

We use AI to:

• Understand how engineers actually work (not just what they ship)

• Surface meaningful insights about productivity, quality, collaboration and impact

• Help teams improve outcomes without vanity metrics or surveillance

Our goal is not to optimize for “more output,” but for better engineering.
