Role at a Glance
A Lead Forward Deployed Engineer guides the team that builds our business within the context of a single customer at a time. They help to seek out valuable problems that hold our customers back. The problems we work on are multi-domain, affecting cash flow, production, safety, and the environment. A Lead and their team don’t stop at finding problems, but go on to create solutions and prove their value, owning the process from start to finish. Forward Deployed Engineers, by solving a specific version of the problem for a specific customer, also help to navigate Gecko’s platforms - Gecko’s tools that scale across customers.
What you will do
