About the role
As a Senior Forward Deployed Engineer at Parloa, you'll be on the front lines of enterprise AI adoption – delivering cutting‑edge technology into some of the most complex environments in the world. This is your opportunity to lead end‑to‑end deployment projects from an engineering perspective – not just implementing what exists, but engineering what’s required to make it succeed at enterprise scale. FDEs are our in‑field product engineers. You will build what doesn't yet exist, adapt architecture to enterprise realities, and engineer integrations across systems and APIs to make deployments successful. Your work is hands‑on and code‑first – you'll be building, debugging, and engineering solutions directly in the field. What you ship not only makes deployments succeed, it also defines how customers experience Parloa and shapes what our product becomes. This is not about maintenance. This is about engineering what makes it work in production, under real‑world enterprise constraints, at speed and scale.
