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 Korean market from the front line.

- Turn ambiguous requirements into robust engineering designs and execution plans.
- 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.

- Global Top-tier compensation plus a next-gen founding-member equity package.
- Global stage: Seoul-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.
