About the role
We are looking for an experienced and highly adaptable Forward-Deployed Engineer to join our team at Foxglove. This role is ideal for a product-minded full-stack engineer who thrives in customer-facing environments and enjoys solving complex technical challenges in robotics and observability. As a Forward-Deployed Engineer, you'll work directly with strategic customers to integrate and extend Foxglove's platform within their environments, while also contributing upstream to our core product.

You'll act as a trusted engineering partner, ensuring Foxglove is seamlessly woven into customer workflows and identifying opportunities to drive improvements based on real-world use cases.
Key Responsibilities
Customer Collaboration – Embed deeply with customer teams to understand business goals, domain constraints, and technical requirements.
Design & Development – Architect and build end-to-end solutions with an experiment-driven, iterative approach (TypeScript/React, Node.js, Python, ROS, SQL).
Scoping & Planning – Draft clear scopes of work, timelines, and success metrics for proofs-of-concept through production roll-outs.
Hands-On Delivery – Code side-by-side with customer engineers, deploying on their cloud or on-prem environments to ensure successful adoption.
Cross-Functional Alignment – Partner closely with Sales and Customer Success on the same accounts to guarantee seamless experiences and measurable outcomes.
Product Feedback Loop – Relay frontline insights to Research, Product, and Engineering; your learnings shape our roadmap.
Internal Enablement – Document best practices, contribute to internal libraries, and mentor future FDEs so the function scales efficiently.

Experience in customer-facing engineering roles, ideally with robotics or autonomy exposure.
Proven history of rapid prototyping and iterative delivery with external stakeholders.
Front-end strength in React/TypeScript and back-end experience in Node.js or Python; familiarity with C++ or ROS is a plus.
Solid grasp of network and cloud architecture (AWS, GCP, or Azure) and database-backed REST APIs.
Comfortable owning problems end-to-end, learning what’s missing, and communicating technical details to any audience.
Willingness to travel extensively and work on-site with customers when required.
Bonus points: Experience with multiple database systems
Experience designing SDKs, integration libraries, or internal tooling that reduced services cycle time.
