Forward Deployed Engineer

About the role

Every customer arrives with a pipeline living in spreadsheets, SharePoint, Smartsheet, and someone's head. Getting that into Basepoint quickly, and making it obviously better once it is there, is what turns a pilot into a long-term account.

You will sit between customers and the product team: onboarding data, building integrations, prototyping features on a customer's real portfolio, and feeding what you learn straight back into the roadmap.

What you will do

• Lead technical onboarding: portfolio imports, document ingestion, and integration setup with the customer's existing systems.
• Build connectors and scripts against customer tools such as Microsoft 365, Smartsheet, Box, and internal databases.
• Prototype features on live customer data and hand off well-scoped work to the core team.
• Be the technical voice in customer conversations and the customer's voice in engineering ones.
• Write the playbooks so the next onboarding is faster than the last.

What we are looking for

• Three or more years as a software engineer, solutions engineer, or similar customer-facing technical role.
• Strong TypeScript or Python and comfort working across unfamiliar APIs and data formats.
• Excellent judgment about what to build now, what to script once, and what to push back on.
• Willingness to travel to customer sites a few times a quarter.

Nice to have

• Experience in energy development, project finance, or GIS.
• Prior work at an early-stage B2B company where you owned customer outcomes.
