Forward Deployed Engineer (GTM & Product)

Location: San Francisco, CA (In-Person)

Employment Type: Full-Time

Base Salary: $175,000 – $250,000

Overview

We are hiring a Forward Deployed Engineer to operate at the intersection of go-to-market, product, and customer success.

This is a high-impact, customer-embedded role. You will work directly with enterprise customers to implement solutions, drive measurable growth outcomes, and translate real-world usage into product insights. You will bridge technical execution with business impact.

This role is ideal for an operator who thrives in fast-paced environments, takes ownership of customer outcomes, and is equally comfortable in marketing infrastructure, SEO systems, and product execution.

What Youll Do

• Embed directly with enterprise customers to drive successful implementations
• Own customer outcomes from onboarding through measurable impact
• Execute SEO and growth initiatives across CMS and marketing infrastructure
• Partner with GTM and product teams to translate customer feedback into product improvements
• Design and implement scalable processes across accounts
• Analyze performance metrics and continuously optimize for traffic, pipeline, and revenue growth
• Contribute to AI-powered search and content workflows where applicable

What Were Looking For

Core Requirements

• 2–6 years of experience in B2B SaaS, MarTech, SEO, growth, or customer implementation roles
• Proven ownership of customer implementations and outcomes
• Strong expertise in SEO, CMS platforms, and marketing infrastructure
• Comfort working directly with enterprise stakeholders
• Analytical, metrics-driven mindset
• Willingness to work in person in San Francisco

Strong Plus

• Experience in fast-paced startup environments
• History of building processes and driving cross-functional initiatives
• Strong stakeholder communication skills
• Exposure to AI search, LLMs, prompt engineering, or AI-driven content workflows
• Hands-on experience with tools such as Ahrefs, SEMrush, Google Search Console, or similar platforms

Who This Is Not For

This role is not a fit if you:

• Have not owned customer-facing implementations directly
• Prefer highly structured corporate environments with narrow scope
• Have only worked in large tech environments without hands-on execution responsibility

What Success Looks Like

• Successful enterprise implementations with clear customer impact
• Measurable improvements in traffic, pipeline, or revenue
• Strong customer relationships and retention
• Clear feedback loops between customer usage and product improvements
• Scalable systems built across marketing and growth infrastructure

Why This Role Is Unique

This is not a traditional engineering or marketing role.

You will sit at the center of customer execution, GTM strategy, and product evolution — embedding with customers, driving growth outcomes, and shaping the product roadmap through real-world impact.

If you are a hands-on operator who wants ownership, visibility, and measurable business impact, this is a rare opportunity to operate at the front lines of growth and product execution.
