Forward Deployed Engineer

Goodfire is looking for individuals who embody our values and share our deep commitment to making interpretability accessible. We are building a team first and foremost.

We're looking for a Forward Deployed Engineer to be the technical backbone of our customer engagements, the person who takes our interpretability platform and makes it work inside a partner's environment, end-to-end. This role demands strong engineering capability, the ability to learn new domains fast, the creativity to design solutions under real-world constraints, and the comfort to operate directly alongside customer engineering and research teams.

What you'll do:

• Own technical delivery for partner engagements : build production-grade integrations of Goodfire's platform into customer environments — from API integrations and custom pipelines to internal tooling and evaluation workflows
• Run pilots that prove value fast : design and execute creative, short-timeline pilots that demonstrate the platform's impact, often in parallel with or ahead of longer-term solution scoping
• Embed with partner engineering teams : serve as the day-to-day technical point of contact, going deep in their codebase, understanding their infrastructure, and building trust through competence
• Compound learnings across engagements : bring field insights back to the platform and research teams, identify repeatable patterns, and build shared tooling and playbooks that scale the Field Team
• Bridge research and production : take novel interpretability methods from the Foundational Team and figure out how to make them work reliably in a partner's stack — this means being comfortable reading papers, prototyping new techniques, and hardening them for production use
