As a Product Maker (Forward Deployed Engineer), you will serve as the core engine driving ideas into reality. In this role, you bridge the gap between market needs, complex technical architectures, and R&D execution. You will analyze customer requirements, simplify multi-layered system integrations, and leverage modern tech tools and AI workflows to plan and validate high-impact solutions for mission-critical systems.
Turn high-level concepts and operational challenges into concrete, scalable product solutions-fast. You will embed with client environments and collaborate closely with R&D teams to design technical solutions that solve real-world enterprise problems where it matters most.
Requirements: Requirements:
Product Strategy & Market Execution:
Idea-to-Reality Execution: Proven ability to take abstract ideas, customer needs, and market gaps and drive them end-to-end into viable, implemented solutions.
Market Analysis & Requirements Gathering: Deep experience in analyzing market dynamics, uncovering client pain points, and defining comprehensive product requirements.
Solution Planning & Tech Alignment: Skill in structuring product solutions that align client needs with current technological capabilities, architectural constraints, and company roadmap goals.
Complex System Architecture & Integrations:
Architecture Abstraction: Exceptional talent for grasping, simplifying, and abstracting highly complex system architectures and intricate multi-system integrations into clear, actionable product blueprints.
Systemic Domain Vision: Strong experience with enterprise-grade software, Command and Control (C2) systems, or large-scale operational platforms.
Problem Solver at Core: Ability to identify operational friction points in live environments and define precise, high-impact technical solutions.
Technical Acumen & R&D Alignment:
Speaking "Engineering": Deep understanding of system architecture, API/integration flows, and the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) to communicate fluently with R&D and engineering leaders.
AI-Enabled Workflows: Practical familiarity with modern AI tools and low-code ecosystems to accelerate concept validation, specification, and delivery without relying on dedicated design output.
Operations & Customer-Facing (The FDE Aspect):
The Bridge: Proven track record acting as the ultimate link between R&D, Product Strategy, and Client Operations.
Enterprise Client Facing: Excellent interpersonal skills to work directly with large-scale enterprise clients, validate requirements in real time, and adapt solutions to field constraints.
Key Requirements & Practical Qualifications:
Execution Track Record: 3+ years of experience turning complex product concepts and customer requirements into shipped enterprise solutions.
Complex System Comprehension: Demonstrated ability to quickly map, simplify, and articulate complex system architectures and integration ecosystems.
Market & Customer Requirement Analysis: Proven experience leading product scoping, market research, and translating customer demands into technical product specs.
R&D & Engineering Fluency: Deep knowledge of software development processes, system integrations, and technical feasibility to ensure seamless handoffs to R&D.
Client-Facing & Field Scoping: Strong ability to interface directly with enterprise users, understand real-world operational context, and validate product direction.
AI & Modern Product Stack: Hands-on experience leveraging AI tools and modern productivity frameworks for rapid scoping, specification, and validation.
This position is open to all candidates.
