Forward Deployed Engineer

The build. Most of the code that reaches the client comes from you: pipelines over speech, text, and event data, LLM workflows with a human in the loop, and integrations with their CRM, telephony, and warehouse.

Shipping into a real environment. You deploy to the client's cloud, instrument what you ship, and fix what breaks.

The details that make it stick: tests, evals, docs, and handoff notes their team will actually read.

Our values are run hard, readiness, compassion, and cogency. In this seat they look like this:

You run hard. A scoped slice becomes working software in days, and you say so early when the plan meets reality.

Slope over intercept. You pick up the client's domain and whatever the system needs faster than anyone expects, and you ask the question instead of guessing.

You respect the people whose work you're changing, and you'd rather be corrected early than praised late.

You write it down. Clear commits, clear docs, and a clear "here's what I did and why."

1 to 3 years building production software, or the equivalent: something real, with users, that you kept running.

Something shipped with LLMs in it, even small, and a clear account of where the output was wrong.

You work with AI coding tools as a matter of course and judge the result by the system, the architecture, and what it produces, not by which language it's written in.

You can read someone else's system and work inside it without rebuilding it first.

Able to travel to client sites and authorized to work in the US.

Lunon was founded in 2026 by Dhruv Shajikumar, Ryan Hyatt, and Connor Hyatt. You'll work beside the Senior Forward Deployed Engineer on your engagement, directly with the founders, and with the people on the client side whose jobs your software changes.

You ship to real users in your first month, inside a real business, with a senior engineer beside you.

A firm that is a year old. What you learn on this client becomes how Lunon works.

Remote, with the travel that makes embedded work real.

A 30-minute conversation with the team about what you've shipped and what we're building.

A technical deep-dive on one system you owned, from the business problem to production.

A working session on a real client problem with the team.

References, then an offer. We aim to finish in two weeks.
