Description For Forward Deployed Engineer

Addepar, a leading global technology and data company, is seeking a Forward Deployed Engineer to join their innovative team. With a significant presence managing over $7 trillion in assets across 50+ countries, Addepar has established itself as a crucial player in the investment technology sector.

The Forward Deployed Engineer (FDE) role offers a unique opportunity to work at the intersection of technical innovation and client success. As an FDE, you'll be directly involved in building custom data integrations and extending platform capabilities for Addepar's largest enterprise clients. This position requires both technical expertise and client-facing skills, as you'll be working in small teams with significant autonomy to drive impactful changes.

The role demands a minimum of 2 years of professional software engineering experience, with a strong foundation in object-oriented programming (particularly Java or Python) or compiled languages like Go, Rust, or Scala. You'll be working with both relational and NoSQL databases, and experience with distributed systems is highly valued. The position offers a competitive compensation package ranging from $107,000 to $168,000 base salary, plus bonus and equity components.

What makes this role particularly exciting is the opportunity to work remotely while collaborating with a global team across multiple offices, including New York City, Salt Lake City, Chicago, London, Edinburgh, Pune, and Dubai. You'll be responsible for not just building solutions, but also for turning field experiences into scalable, long-term products that benefit the entire platform.

The ideal candidate will possess a BS or higher in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Mathematics, or a related technical field, combined with practical industry experience. You should be comfortable leading complex projects, managing relationships, and working across different teams and disciplines. This role offers an excellent opportunity to make a significant impact in the financial technology sector while working with cutting-edge technologies and contributing to a platform that manages trillions in assets.
