Forward Deployed Engineer
Seal is focused on transforming the Life Sciences industry by building a GxP-native foundation that simplifies complex validation processes. The Forward Deployed Engineer role involves embedding with customers to develop and deploy software solutions in regulated environments, requiring travel and hands-on problem-solving.
Responsibilities
You embed with customers, understand their systems at first principles, and turn messy, high-stakes workflows into production software on our platform
You write code in real environments
You prototype
You debug
You re-architect
You ship
You will travel. Often
You will sit on-site with regulated teams, observe how work actually happens, and translate that reality into robust, compliant systems
You uncover edge cases no roadmap can predict
You pressure-test our abstractions
You surface the primitives the core platform must support next
You will not be handed tickets. You will be given missions: unlock a flagship account, prove a new workflow, make an impossible deployment succeed
You have absolute ownership over outcomes
If something is missing, you build it
If something is broken, you fix it
If something is unclear, you define it
