Forward-Deployed Engineer

Tessera Forward-Deployed Engineers are technical AI engineers with strong product intuition. You will develop relationships with top decision-makers at the world's most influential companies, and you'll rapidly learn the architectural intricacies sustaining global corporations.

As a Forward-Deployed Engineer (FDE) at Tessera, you will drive how global enterprises deploy AI at scale. You will own our most strategic customers and deployments, building and operationalizing AI automation in a category with no established playbook — a role where outcomes are asymmetric and a single person can be decisive. You are the technical arm of our pre-sales and post-sales motions, embedding in Fortune 500 customers whose expectations were set by a world before AI. The solutions you build and ship will replace and augment mission-critical workflows in production that previously consumed thousands of human hours and added months or years to billion-dollar project timelines.

What you'll do:

• Run deep process discovery with customers — break down complex, ambiguous, cross-system problems into well-defined solutions
• Build lightweight prototypes and applications that showcase Tessera's AI agents in real enterprise scenarios
• Partner with GTM to frame technical boundaries in sales engagements and produce technical collateral, including Statements of Work
• Collaborate with Infra and Engineering to architect implementations that scale across high-volume, business-critical processes
• Iterate with customers and cross-functional partners to drive adoption from pilot to full production
• Carry field signal back to Product and Engineering, helping shape what we build
