Forward Deployed Software Engineer

As adoption of Notch accelerates among ambitious brands, we’re building a Forward Deployed Engineering team to ensure seamless, high-impact deployments.

As an FDE, you’ll embed with strategic customers, solve unique technical challenges in real-world environments, and feed those learnings directly back into our core product and research loop.

• Node.js / TypeScript
• PostgreSQL
• Drizzle ORM
• Monorepo
• Also: React / Headless CSS / Vite

• Collaborate directly with customers to design and deliver custom implementations that maximize the value of Notch
• Lead high-stakes technical projects, from discovery to production deployment
• Architect full-stack solutions that bridge customer systems with Notch’s platform
• Translate business needs into technical blueprints, partnering with GTM and product teams
• Drive insights back into our roadmap to make future deployments faster, easier, and more scalable
