Senior Forward Deployed Engineer

Job description

At FourKites we have the opportunity to tackle complex challenges with real-world impacts. Whether it’s medical supplies from Cardinal Health or groceries for Walmart, the FourKites platform helps customers operate global supply chains that are efficient, agile and sustainable.

Join a team of curious problem solvers that celebrates differences, leads with empathy and values inclusivity.

As a Senior Forward Deployment Engineer, you sit at the intersection of software engineering and customer impact. You build and deploy AI-powered integration and agentic workflow solutions directly with enterprise customers — from the first technical discovery conversation through post-launch enhancements. You are the engineer in the room who hears a customer problem and builds the solution. Speed matters here — the ability to write optimized, production-grade code fast and deploy it to customers without long feedback cycles is what makes the FDE function valuable. Strong data structures and algorithms fundamentals and an innovative, non-obvious approach to problem solving are core to what we look for. AI fluency — building agentic workflows and using LLMs as a daily engineering tool — is a baseline expectation for everyone on this team, not a specialization.

What you'll be doing:

• Build and deploy integration solutions — EDI (214, 315), callbacks, custom payload mapping, and API integrations — with production-grade quality and full test coverage
