## Job description

Tabs is the AI Operating System for Revenue, built for modern finance and accounting teams. It combines deep revenue and accounting expertise with the agents and applications needed to run revenue work end to end. Tabs understands customer and contract context, applies accounting logic, and executes critical workflows with built in controls, auditability, and human oversight. With Tabs, finance teams can move from manually managing revenue workflows to directing outcomes while the system executes the work.

## About the Role

Tabs is hiring a Forward Deployed Engineer to join a highly visible team that designs and delivers custom workflows, features, and integrations for our highest-value customers. You'll serve as the connective tissue between customers and product, translating complex requirements into clear solutions while partnering with implementation, customer success, product, and engineering to own the path from scoping through launch. This role sits at the intersection of go-live and long-term adoption, and the solutions you deliver often shape the core product roadmap. You'll work cross-functionally with GTM, Implementation, and Customer Success, partnering closely with Product and Engineering to surface patterns and escalate gaps based on real customer needs.

## What You’ll Do

- Own delivery of customer projects end-to-end (scoping → launch), across a range of sizes and urgency
- Act as a mini-PM: clarify requirements, define scope, and drive execution across stakeholders
- Build customer-specific solutions in Python & React, using Tabs’ APIs and internal systems to deliver custom workflows
- Develop creative solutions by combining Tabs’ APIs with flexible workflows and lightweight tooling
- Operate in an FDE-style capacity when needed, including investigating customer environments/tools and resolving customer-impacting issues cross-functionally
- Unblock yourself through independent discovery and communicate clearly on priorities, timelines, risks, and customer impact

Who You Are:

- A self-starter who thrives in ambiguity and can move forward without perfect requirements or detailed specs
- Resourceful and pragmatic - you gather context quickly, make reasonable assumptions, and unblock progress
- A creative problem solver who balances speed and quality when delivering customer-facing solutions
- Technical and systems-minded, with strong instincts for how components interact and where edge cases live
- Product-oriented and impact-driven - you care about shipping outcomes that work for real users and customers

Requirements:

- 2+ years of experience and strong working knowledge of Python, with experience using it to build and support production workflows and internal tools
- Strong systems thinking, including the ability to reason about data flows, integrations, edge cases, and failure modes
- Comfort working across APIs, data, and operational tooling to deliver reliable customer-facing functionality
- Ability to scope and drive delivery end-to-end: clarify requirements, define technical approach, and execute in ambiguity
- Strong cross-functional communicator with experience working in client-facing contexts

Nice to Have:

- Familiarity with SQL (or confidence picking it up quickly)
- Familiarity with Github and software development approach
- Experience debugging production issues or working in live customer environments
- Prior customer-facing technical experience (solutions, implementation, support, etc.)
- Exposure to Field / Forward-Deployed (FDE) style work and customer-stack investigation
- (e.g., CRMs/ERPs/Datawarehouses like Salesforce, Quickbooks, Snowflake)
- Advanced spreadsheet skills (Google Sheets / Excel) and/or familiarity with finance, accounting, or B2B operations workflows

## Perks and Benefits (Full-time Employees)

- Competitive compensation and equity
- Unlimited PTO
- Up to 100% employer covered monthly healthcare premium (medical, dental, vision)
- Lunch provided via Sharebite, plus dinner for any later in office days.
- Parental leave up to 12 weeks
- Tax free commuter and parking benefits
- Voluntary insurances (Life, Hospital, Critical Illness, Accident)
- Employee Assistance Program (Rightway)
- Free One Medical Membership
- 401k
