Senior Software Engineer - Forward Deployed

About the Forward Deployed Engineering Team

Forward Deployed Engineering is a small-in-headcount, high-impact team of

entrepreneurial engineers who work directly with Narmi's financial institution

customers to build features and configure the platform for their specific needs.

Our mission is to make sure Narmi's products are powering the goals and

objectives of the FIs we serve. We do that by building targeted features and

prototypes in the field, then partnering with Narmi's core product and

engineering teams to scale those solutions from 1 to n.

You'll have real influence on how development work gets scoped, how FDE best

practices evolve, and what feedback reaches core engineering about the

configurability of the platform. Being a self-starter with strong intuition for

where impact lives and having a creative approach to problem-solving is what

makes people successful here.

We believe the best work happens when great people build together in the same

room, so we're an in-person–first team, typically working from Narmi's Flatiron

office about three days per week with flexibility to work remotely when needed.

What you'll do

* Solve novel technical challenges alongside our customers: work with FIs to

understand their unique use cases and technical constraints, then design and

implement creative solutions within our platform.

* Build new platform functionality: you're an extension of Narmi's platform

engineering team and will contribute alongside the dedicated pod to broader

platform development work.

* Identify product gaps through your customer interactions, and build features

and prototypes that extend our existing APIs to better meet client needs.

* Build the v0 when a problem needs solving quickly, then work with the rest of

engineering to re-architect it over time to optimize for scale.

* Automate recurrent FI workflows and create scalable systems and tools that

address customer pain points at the root.

* Take the lead on working with FIs to identify solutions to problems for the

Platform team.

* Partner with Customer Success, Implementations, Product, and Engineering to

build internal tools and automations that streamline their workflows.

What you'll bring

* 4+ years of relevant, post-college professional experience

* Strong engineering background in Computer Science, Mathematics, or another

engineering or scientific discipline

* Strong coder with demonstrated proficiency in one or more of the following:

Python (especially Django or DRF), JavaScript (specifically NodeJS), React

* Ability to develop creative solutions to a wide variety of technical

challenges and learn new subject matter quickly

* Capable of explaining complex technical concepts with clarity and simplicity,

whether to an engineer or an executive

* Passion for understanding customer problems and quickly delivering scalable

solutions

* Eagerness to solve problems, build from the ground up, and engage with all

areas of the organization

* Curiosity about the different functions at a startup, from customer

engagement to product development and partner integrations

* Based in New York City or willing to relocate; comfortable with occasional

client travel

* Experience with cloud infrastructure (AWS preferred), including serverless

and IaC

* Background in forward deployed, implementation, or other customer-facing

engineering roles
