About Feathery

Feathery automates data intake workflows for insurance and wealth management firms. Industry leaders rely on Feathery to power mission-critical workflows like underwriting, client onboarding, and automated account openings.

With rapid revenue growth and expanding enterprise demand, we’re scaling our go-to-market and customer-facing teams to support increasingly complex implementations across financial services and beyond.

Why We're Hiring

As Feathery grows, we're partnering with larger, more sophisticated customers who rely on our platform for critical workflows.

We're hiring a Forward Deployed Engineer to work directly with enterprise customers to design, implement, and scale workflows on the Feathery platform. This role is ideal for someone who enjoys solving technical problems, working directly with customers, and shaping how a product is adopted in real-world environments.

• Customer-facing technical architecture and implementation

• Technical partnership across the customer lifecycle

• Workflow design, deployment, and problem solving

• Cross-functional collaboration with Product, Engineering, and Go-to-Market teams

As an early member of the Forward Deployed Engineering team, you'll help define how we deliver and scale end-to-end customer implementations—from technical discovery and proof-of-concept through production deployment and long-term adoption.

• Serve as a trusted technical advisor to prospects and customers from evaluation through implementation

Product Feedback & Platform Enablement

• Share customer implementation insights and feature requests that help shape the evolution of the Feathery platform

• Create technical content, including implementation guides, documentation, and example applications

• Help customers and internal teams maximize the capabilities of the Feathery platform

• Contribute to improving onboarding and implementation best practices

Team & Function Building

• Help turn successful customer implementations into repeatable playbooks, documentation, and best practices

• Contribute to hiring and mentoring future team members

• Improve internal processes, tooling, and implementation playbooks as the team scales

About You

• Experience in a customer-facing technical role (Forward Deployed Engineering, Solutions Engineering, Sales Engineering, Customer Success, or similar)

• Strong problem-solving skills, especially in workflow automation and data-intensive environments

• Strong working knowledge of JavaScript, including writing and troubleshooting scripts and implementation logic

• Basic familiarity with Python (able to build/debug APIs)

• Strong communication skills with the ability to work across technical and non-technical teams

• Comfortable owning customer implementations from discovery through deployment

• Proactive, resourceful, and comfortable in a fast-paced startup environment

• Strong sense of ownership with a focus on delivering exceptional customer outcomes

Bonus

• Experience with B2B SaaS fintech platform or workflow automation tools

• Familiarity with low-code/no-code platforms

• Experience delivering enterprise customer implementations

• Background in financial services (insurance, wealth management, lending)

• Experience creating technical documentation, demos, or implementation guides

What We Offer

• Competitive compensation and equity

• Health, dental, and vision coverage

• Unlimited PTO
