Forward-Deployed Engineer

About the role

☀️ About Nowadays:

We're building the future of in-person connection, from an intimate exec offsite to a 1,000-person company kickoff in Cancún.

Think about the best work trip you've ever been on. The dinner where your team finally clicked. The offsite where a coworker became a friend. Those moments don't happen over Zoom, and behind every one of them is someone juggling a hundred details: the venue, the flights, the hotel rooms, who's bringing a +1, who's vegetarian, who needs a ride from the airport.

Nowadays is the first AI-powered platform that plans corporate events end to end, from picking the venue to the last airport pickup, so the person organizing gets to enjoy the event too. We've brought together teams at Fortune 500s like Google, Airbnb, and BlackRock, and we're just getting started.

Our mission is simple: we love bringing people together, and we want to make it easier for teams to create meaningful moments in real life.

👥 Who We Are:

We're a sister-founded team based in San Francisco. We move fast, care deeply, and love bringing people together (whether it's a strategic offsite or a Friendsgiving in our Nowadays home).

We believe the best teams:

- Take ownership

- Keep things scrappy

- Celebrate wins (big and small)

- Genuinely enjoy working (+ hanging out) together

Some of our favorite team excursions so far: flying trapeze, steak-offs at home, hauling a Christmas tree up to the office, hitting the spa after a big launch, and racing an Ironman Relay.

💼 What You'll Do:

- Be half builder, half forward-deployed: own product engineering while working directly with our largest enterprise customers

- Meet customers face to face through on-site visits, kickoffs and demos, and help them get real value from the product after launch

- Sit with customers to scope what they need, then turn it into shipped product, so their feedback goes straight into the roadmap

- Lead enterprise engineering: integrations, security and SSO requests, reliability, and custom workflows for large accounts

- Build and harden the AI agents that email and call venues, negotiate, and present options, and make them work reliably inside big companies' processes

- Own the overarching architecture: think about how everything flows through the product, designed from the customer's perspective

- Build across the full stack (React/TypeScript, Next.js, Node/Python, SQL)

🥇 What We're Looking For:

- 3+ years shipping full-stack products end to end, ideally at an early-stage startup or as a founding engineer

- Experience in forward-deployed, solutions or other customer-facing engineering, ideally with enterprise or B2B SaaS customers

- You genuinely enjoy talking to customers and are comfortable leading a client call or an on-site meeting
