Forward Deployed Engineer, Finance

We're building a new kind of role to help us scale: the Forward Deployed Engineer (FDE). The title was originally coined for engineers embedded with external customers, and we've pointed that model inward. As an FDE on our Finance team, your customers are Jetson's own teams. You'll sit with them, learn their work deeply, and build the agents, tools, and automations that change how they operate. Instead of routing every request through a central engineering backlog, we put engineers inside the teams that need help. You hear the problem firsthand, build the fix, and iterate the next day. FDEs across functions build on a shared internal platform alongside core engineering, so every automation you ship makes the next one faster. The more we deploy, the faster we can deploy.

What you'll do:

• Embed and learn the domain. Sit with the team and build real fluency in how Finance runs across a multi-entity business spanning the US and Canada: the monthly close and its reconciliations, financial and management reporting, rebate accounting, AP/AR, and FP&A.
• Build agents that automate real work. Find finance workflows that AI agents can handle or accelerate, then design, build, and ship them. For example, an agent that assembles the monthly close checklist and flags anomalies, or one that reconciles rebate flows end to end.
• Connect systems and keep data flowing. Much of the team's friction is manual handoffs between systems. You'll build and maintain integrations and automations that keep financial data flowing accurately between NetSuite, spreadsheets, and Jetson's data platform, so the numbers reconcile and…
• Build dashboards and tools. Give Finance and leadership clear, real-time visibility: margin by market and by job, cash position and AR/AP aging, budget-versus-actual, and a live view of where the close stands. Replace recurring hand-maintained spreadsheets with live dashboards and tools.
• Always be scoping. Question requirements directly with the team. The best solution is often smaller than the original ask, or solves the real problem another way. Ship value now, iterate from there.
• Generalize into the platform. Push reusable capabilities into the shared internal platform alongside other FDEs and core engineering, rather than piling up one-off scripts. Weigh hacking something for Finance today against building something ten teams use tomorrow.
