Job description

Our Culture

Who we are:

Led by two pioneering co-founders we are one of the fastest growing companies in the U.S., creating our own category of enterprise autonomous software development. We automate thousands of hours of software development for our customers, which includes strong representation within the Fortune 500.

How we work:

• We move Blitzy Fast: Time is both our company’s and our clients’ most precious asset. We move quickly and decisively to innovate internally and deliver exceptional software externally.
• Championship Mindset: We operate like a professional sports team. We win as a team by holding ourselves and each other to high standards, collaborating in-person, and remaining focused on the mission.
• Passion for Invention: We’re pushing the frontier of what’s possible, requiring constant innovation and iteration.
• We Work for the Customer: We focus on delivering outsized value to the customers we work with and expanding those relationships into deep, meaningful partnerships.

About the Role

We’re looking for a Forward Deployed Engineer to join our Pune HQ2 team and work at the intersection of cutting-edge AI and complex enterprise software. You’ll embed with customer engineering teams and help them transform how they build software with Blitzy. This isn’t a hand-coding or traditional solutions engineering role. You’ll onboard new teams, guide them through the platform, troubleshoot issues, and work with client engineers on architecture and priorities, with the goal of getting each team to run Blitzy independently.

Our HQ2 FDE team deploys alongside customers around the world, working closely with US-based engineering and customer teams with regular time zone overlap for collaboration and handoffs. You’ll partner with customer stakeholders across regions and help each engagement run smoothly from kickoff to steady state.
