We’re looking for a Forward Deployed Engineer (FDE)—a hybrid between a software engineer and a customer-facing problem solver.
In this role, you’ll take your engineering expertise out of the office and into the field: working directly with customer engineering teams, designing and implementing integrations, troubleshooting in real time, and ensuring smooth go-lives. You won’t just be writing code for Coinflow’s core product—you’ll be applying your coding skills, systems knowledge, and product intuition to help customers be successful with our platform.
This role is perfect for engineers who love building but want to broaden their scope: spending more time collaborating with customers, shaping solutions, and solving high-impact technical challenges in production environments.
Solution Design & Deployment
- Work directly with customer engineering teams to design, prototype, and implement integrations
- Build proof-of-concepts and code snippets that accelerate adoption
- Advise on tradeoffs, system design, and best practices for scaling payments infrastructure
Customer Onboarding & Go-Live
- Own technical onboarding from signed contract through production launch
- Debug live integration issues across APIs, SDKs, and payment flows
- Ensure every deployment is smooth, stable, and optimized for long-term growth
Optimization & Expansion
- Analyze transaction and integration data to identify bottlenecks and opportunities
- Guide customers in rolling out new features, payment methods, and advanced workflows
- Partner with Sales to expand accounts through technical credibility and solution depth
Internal Impact
- Translate customer challenges into product insights for Engineering and Product teams
- Build internal tools, documentation, and reusable integration assets
