Forward Deployment Engineer

Reflow
Chicago, IL

Forward Deployed Engineer

$80k – $150k • 0.0% – 0.4%

We are building Reflow, a workforce and workflow intelligence platform that helps teams improve performance through a deep understanding of how work actually happens. Customers get excited after the first demo. Forward Deployed Engineers turn that excitement into adoption, retention, and growth.

This is a technical, customer-facing role at the intersection of customer success, engineering, product, and go-to-market.

What you’ll do

  • Own the customer journey: Setup, onboarding, adoption, and long-term success.
  • Shorten time-to-value: Move customers from demo to value quickly.
  • Work hands-on with customers to configure Reflow for their real life use cases and turn their data into meaningful information to help them data driven business decisions.
  • Build integrations, data pipelines, prototypes, and proofs of value for strategic customers
  • Debug data issues, model behavior, and system performance in live customer environments
  • Capture and structure customer feedback: Be the voice of the user in product and engineering decisions.
  • Partner with product and engineering to surface technical gaps, edge cases, and feature opportunities
  • Assist the contract process with new partners, working closely with our legal team to keep things smooth and fast.
  • Build strong relationships that lead to expansions and renewals.
  • Create and refine the playbook: Onboarding processes, success metrics, touchpoints.

Who you are

  • Entrepreneurial: Former founder, early employee of a startup, or operator who thrives in ambiguity.
  • Technical background with hands-on experience in engineering, data, or systems roles
  • Comfortable writing code, working with APIs, data pipelines, and production systems
  • Able to move between customer conversations and technical implementation without losing momentum
  • Curious and analytical. You dig into workflows, systems, and data to uncover root causes
  • Sharp communicator: Written, verbal, and human.
  • Methodical: You keep yourself, your customers, and your teammates on track by creating clear templates and playbooks.

Bonus Points

  • Experience as a Forward Deployed Engineer, Solutions Engineer, Customer Success, or early-stage startup engineer
  • Background in B2B SaaS, enterprise software, or data-heavy products
  • Familiarity with analytics platforms, BI tools, workflow systems, or automation software
  • Experience supporting enterprise customers through security, data access, or compliance reviews*

Why join

  • Be an early, high-impact hire working directly with the founders and founding team
  • Shape how Reflow is deployed, adopted, and extended in the real world
  • Influence product direction by bringing real customer systems and constraints into engineering decisions
  • Build, deploy, learn and repeat

We’re open to you starting part-time and evolving into full-time (contract or W2).
