Company Description
Palantir built the playbook; OpenAI and Anthropic are now copying it. The Forward Deployed Engineer is the hottest role in Silicon Valley right now — the engineer who embeds with enterprise clients and solves their hardest problems directly in code. This company hit a $2B valuation in just 13 months and raised $286M in total funding. Its B2B agentic-AI platform is already deployed across enterprises in 30+ countries. We're hiring the FDE who will open the Singapore from the front line.

  • Build and integrate production AI agents directly on top of clients' legacy infrastructure.
  • Own the full lifecycle — from problem definition to launch and optimization.
  • Drive live-environment reliability, latency, and performance.

Who You Are

  • 3+ years of hands-on software engineering — you prove it by building, not talking.
  • Strong track record in technical problem-solving, from coding to architecture.
  • A business translator who can scope solutions with sales and product teams.
  • High-agency: you set direction and drive decisions through ambiguity.
  • Excellent communication skills to lead technical and business discussions with multinational clients.
  • Bonus: you've thrived in a fast-moving startup where speed and ownership matter more than titles.

Perks & Benefits

  • Global Top-tier compensation plus a next-gen founding-member equity package.
  • Global stage: Singapore-based, with regular exchange with the European global HQ and a global team.
  • Flexible remote work and world-class wellness benefits.
  • A rare scale-up experience: opening enterprise AI at the frontier, from the front line.

    • FAQ

    Are these real job opportunities?

    Yes. These are roles companies have asked Harper to help with, and Harper is in direct contact with them.

    Am I applying directly here?

    No. Harper uses information the company has shared privately to assess how well the role fits you. If it looks like a good fit, Harper may recommend you to the company first or ask whether you'd like to move forward with the role first. If you accept, Harper helps make the connection right away. For now, tell Harper which role interests you. Harper will review it first and prepare what it needs to introduce you well.

    How is this different from applying directly to the company?

    You're more likely to reach a meeting, and Harper helps you through the process.

    Will my information be shared with the company?

    You can choose between two approaches. With Exceptional only, Harper shows you a strong opportunity first and shares your profile with the company only after you accept and allow profile sharing. With Open to matches, Harper may introduce your profile to a company first when there's a strong fit. This can lead to more opportunities, and you can review the company's proposal before deciding whether to move forward.

    What if I'm not looking to move right now?

    That's fine. Tell Harper you're not planning a move right now. You can look at a proposal you like and decide then.

    Does a person review my profile along the way?
