Forward deployed software engineer

About Blitzy

We’re transforming how enterprises build software—turning human ideas into production-ready applications with AI. Our platform autonomously generates up to 80% of enterprise-grade code, not just snippets or suggestions, but complete applications ready for deployment.

Backed by tier 1 investors with founders who have deep AI expertise and successful exits, we’re at the forefront of the software development revolution.

The Opportunity

This isn’t your typical solutions engineer role. As a Forward Deployed Software Engineer at Blitzy, you’ll embed directly with our customers—from AI-forward startups to Fortune 500 enterprises—writing production code, architecting solutions, and working shoulder-to-shoulder with their engineering teams to deliver transformative outcomes.

You’ll be equally comfortable debugging complex integrations, participating in sprint planning, or whiteboarding architecture with CTOs. This role offers the rare opportunity to work with bleeding-edge AI technology while solving real enterprise challenges.

What You’ll Do

Customer Partnership

• Embed with customer teams during critical implementations as their technical co-pilot
• Participate in sprint planning, architecture reviews, and technical decision-making
• Build custom solutions that showcase Blitzy’s AI capabilities in their environment

Technical Implementation

• Write production-quality code to integrate Blitzy with enterprise systems
• Develop reusable patterns and tools that accelerate customer adoption
• Debug complex issues spanning customer infrastructure and our platform
• Create technical demos for advanced use cases

Strategic Impact

• Translate executive vision into actionable engineering roadmaps
• Identify expansion opportunities based on technical insights
• Influence our product roadmap through field experience
• Contribute to technical documentation and best practices

What We’re Looking For

Required

• 4-10 years shipping production code in enterprise environments
• Fluency in Python, JavaScript/TypeScript, and at least one of: Java, Go, or C#
• Deep understanding of modern software practices (CI/CD, microservices, cloud architecture)
• Hands-on experience with Jira and enterprise development workflows
• Proven ability to navigate complex technical environments and stakeholder relationships
• Strong communication skills—explain technical concepts to anyone from intern to CTO

You’ll Stand Out With

• Experience at high-growth startups or customer-facing engineering roles
• Background in AI/ML, developer tools, or enterprise modernization
• Technical thought leadership (blogs, talks, open source)
• Legacy system modernization experience
• Genuine passion for AI-powered software development

What Makes This Different

Unlike traditional FDSE roles focused on configuration and support, you’ll be:

• Writing production code that directly impacts customer success
• Shaping AI adoption at the frontier of generative AI possibilities
• Working with our platform that builds complete applications, not just code snippets
• Growing flexibly with clear paths to product, platform, or leadership roles

What We Offer

Compensation & Benefits

• $150,000 – $200,000 base salary
• Equity in a fast-growing AI startup
