Job description

Founding Forward Deployed Engineer at Warp, building the Oz cloud-agents platform for automating enterprise back-office work. Own end-to-end enterprise implementations: deploy self-hosted managed workers (Docker, Kubernetes or direct backend), configure task routing and private registries, build customer-specific integrations, and turn each build into reusable reference patterns. Requires FDE-equivalent experience shipping custom technical solutions for customers. Remote. Verified on Warp's Greenhouse board.

Warp's first dedicated implementation hire — a founding FDE to drag its 'ambient agents' out of pilots and into customers' own Docker/Kubernetes clusters, wiring up GitHub Actions, Jira and Slack. When a back-office-automation startup makes its first FDE a founding seat, the deployment is the product.
