Position Overview

SingleStore is seeking a Forward Deployed Engineer (FDE) to operate at the intersection of solution architecture, technical delivery, and customer partnership.

This role requires a delivery mindset, strong technical depth, and the ability to lead both strategic conversations and hands-on execution.

## Role and Responsibilities

- Partner directly with customers to understand their architecture, use cases, and business goals, and translate them into scalable technical solutions.
- Design and implement end-to-end solutions integrating SingleStore into existing application and data ecosystems.
- Lead whiteboard sessions to shape ideas, define architecture, and convert concepts into technical specifications and execution plans.
- Act as a proactive thought partner, bringing ideas and guiding conversations rather than reacting to requirements.
- Own delivery of high-impact initiatives from concept through production, ensuring successful outcomes.
- Provide hands-on support, including troubleshooting, optimization, and applying pragmatic solutions or fixes when needed.
- Collaborate closely with Sales, Solutions Engineering, Product, and Engineering teams to align customer needs with product capabilities and roadmap.
- Help customers prioritize and operationalize their data initiatives, balancing ambition with practical delivery.
- Feed insights from customer engagements back into Product and Engineering to influence roadmap and improvements.

## Your Experience

- 10+ years of experience in solution architecture, solution engineering, or technical consulting (pre-sales and/or post-sales).
- Strong foundation in databases, distributed systems, or software engineering.
- Proven experience delivering production-grade solutions in customer-facing environments.
- Experience integrating complex systems across data pipelines, applications, and infrastructure.
- Ability to translate ambiguous requirements into clear technical plans and drive execution.
- Experience working with enterprise customers, particularly in financial services or high-tech environments, is highly preferred.
- Strong communication and organizational skills, with the ability to guide both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
- Demonstrated ability to balance technical innovation with pragmatic delivery and realistic scoping.
- Alignment with product capabilities and roadmap, ensuring solutions are both impactful and feasible.
