From Lavendo's posting. “We” and “our” refer to the employer.
Lavendo partners with startups and high‑growth companies to help them hire top‑tier sales, GTM, and technical talent. This role is with one of our clients; we’ll share full details about the company and interview process as we get to know you and confirm mutual fit.
Our client is a Series B enterprise AI startup building infrastructure that turns complex documents into structured, AI-ready data. Its API-based platform processes PDFs, images, spreadsheets, and other unstructured files, helping organizations build production AI applications and automate document-intensive workflows.
Our client supports AI-native startups and large enterprises with demanding accuracy and deployment requirements. The team is founder-led and engineering-first, with engineers working directly with customers and using what they learn to improve the product.
The Mission
Make complex document data reliable enough to build on.
Our client helps organizations unlock information inside unstructured files while preserving the detail and structure that downstream applications depend on. The goal is to deliver accurate, usable data that holds up in production, not simply extract text that looks convincing in a demo.
The Opportunity
Own the technical work that turns an enterprise evaluation into a successful production deployment.
As a Forward Deployed Engineer
, you’ll build applications, run evaluations, troubleshoot integrations, and stay close to customer results. You’ll partner with sales during technical evaluations, then own technical success for 1-3 enterprise accounts, helping customers resolve issues, deepen adoption, and expand into additional use cases.
This is a founding role within our client’s developing FDE function. You’ll work directly with founders, product, and engineering to shape the platform and establish how future deployments are delivered.
The role combines substantial engineering work with customer relationships and deployment responsibility. Both backend-leaning engineers and customer-facing FDEs are welcome, but independent coding and production deployment ownership are essential. This position requires full-time, in-person work in San Francisco, five days per week.
Compensation
HR screening
Hiring manager screen and technical interview - 30 minutes: Live Python coding to assess engineering fundamentals and problem-solving.
On-site practical assessment: Build an application relevant to the role, with a focus on engineering depth or technical presentation and customer communication.
Offer extended.
We are proud to be an equal opportunity workplace and consider all qualified applicants without regard to race, color, religion, national origin, age, sex, marital status, ancestry, disability, genetic information, veteran or military status, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, or any other characteristic protected by law.
