Forward Deployed Engineer

About the opportunity

Floro’s forward deployed engineering work brings engineering into the environment where a workflow actually happens. The engineer collaborates with users and decision-makers to find a useful problem, test assumptions, and deliver a system that fits the client’s tools, data, security boundaries, and operating habits.

The work can span discovery, prototype, integration, production hardening, deployment, and follow-up. Example areas include inspection workflows, real-time video operations, and grounded knowledge systems. The exact project mix depends on client needs and is not promised as a fixed assignment.

What you would do

• Observe and map client workflows; ask practical questions to identify bottlenecks, constraints, and a measurable definition of success.
• Translate findings into a technical plan with users, client stakeholders, and Floro collaborators.
• Build and integrate software, data flows, and AI-assisted capabilities where they solve the identified problem.
• Handle reliability, permissions, observability, testing, and operational handoff as part of delivery.
• Deploy with client teams, collect feedback from actual use, and iterate toward a maintainable solution.
• Document decisions and reusable patterns while respecting client confidentiality and data boundaries.

What may help

Experience shipping software with real users, integrating APIs and data systems, and working through ambiguous requirements may be useful. A practical approach to testing, security, reliability, and clear communication helps when engineering alongside client teams. Experience with AI systems can be relevant when paired with careful evaluation and grounding. These are helpful signals; formal minimum qualifications have not been set for this draft.
