Think of us as the brain behind the best solution engineers, forward-deployed engineers, and onboarding teams— automating the documentation, the discovery, and the decision-making that powers $400B+ in services work. We’re going after one of the biggest software categories of the decade.
The Opportunity As a Forward Deployed Engineer at Auctor, you will own and lead engineering projects for our most strategic customers, building custom integrations and solutions tailored to their specific needs. You will work closely with our operations, GTM, and deployed services teams to build state-of-the-art systems that provide value to our customers. We're looking for people who want to do the most meaningful work of their career. People who are sharp, fast, and relentless. No fluff. Just speed, execution, and a shot to build something generational.

Collaborate with customers directly, from technical teams to executives, to scope problems and ship solutions
-
Develop performant agentic systems that operate over large corpora of unstructured data
-
Work across the stack: backend services, frontend applications, and infrastructure
-
Feed product insights back to the core team based on what you learn in the field
What You Bring
-
Strong programming fundamentals and CS knowledge
-
Proficiency in Python and TypeScript (Next.js experience preferred)
-
Comfort with ambiguity and context-switching across multiple customer engagements
